    An animated documentary by Paul Grignon explaining how modern money is created through bank lending as debt. This is a combined upload of the revised 2009 edition.

    HN commenters recommend it as a cartoonish but thorough explanation of the monetary system, though some critics dispute its claims.

    1. @sciroccoMar 2020· in “Ask HN: Book recommendations for understanding financial systems?”

      This is a good start, "Money as debt". Saw it in university and since then you will never take financial markets seriously. And all the "stimulus" we see is just pushing the can forward. You will start to see through a lot of lies. this video

    2. @jonplackettMar 2020· in “Payments on mortgages to be suspended across Italy after coronavirus outbreak”

      Anyone who wants to understand this insanity, I recommend MONEY AS DEBT this video The first time I saw it I thought it was a luny conspiracy theory, but NO. It's all true.

    3. @zugiAug 2022· in “Ask HN: “government is printing money” - what does it mean in practice?”

      > Which in practice means there's literally never enough money in circulation to pay off the 'debt'. I always wondered why so many people were in so much debt, and was really shocked when I came to the understanding that we've designed our monetary system to trap people in debt. this video is a cartoonish but thorough explanation for anyone who has the time. This system really is insane. I mean, I thought Bitcoin was dumb because it's based on nothing, but our national government-based monetary systems being based on debt are even worse.

    5. @ur-whaleFeb 2022· in “Ask HN: What real world problem does cryptocurrency solve?”

      > Early(ish) adopter here(circa 2013): initially it was a way for nerds who didn’t have street connections to buy drugs. You are making assumptions. It might have been your motivation back then. It most certainly wasn't the motivation for many people I know in the space. I was introduced to bitcoin by someone who was also promoting this: this video and the interest I developed for it was both because the tech. was interesting and new and it resonated with my political sensibilities. Strictly nothing to do with drugs.
