About The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer | 97% Owned (Full documentary)
Prices keep climbing, workdays are stretching longer, and yet our wages remain stagnant. It's becoming a distant dream to have a home to call our own, but it wasn't always like this. This documentary investigates the deep and often misunderstood sources of all problems: Money and Power. Where does it come from? Who decides how it gets used? And most importantly, what does this mean for the millions of us feeling the pinch, while a select few at the top greatly benefit from this skewed system? These are tough questions, but you might be surprised at how straightforward the answers can be. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00:00 - Intro ▷ 0:04:12 - Seigniorage ▷ 0:08:08 - Commercial Bank Money and Digital Money ▷ 0:10:30 - Misconceptions ▷ 0:14:08 - Expansion of commercial money supply ▷ 0:19:03 - Issues with allowing banks to create money ▷ 0:24:01 - Paradox of the system leads to cyclical crisis ▷ 0:26:22 - Matter of democracy ▷ 0:27:38 - Central Bank Reserves ▷ 0:34:50 - A short history of money ▷ 0:38:18 - Fiat Money ▷
