We often hear about the housing bubble burst and the great recession of 2008 on the news. Television networks often bring in experts to discuss what happened and what they believe will happen in the future. However, during these interviews, the experts use complicated terms such as sub-prime mortgages, collateralized debt obligations, frozen credit markets, and credit default swaps, which can be difficult for most people to understand. As a result, people often become disinterested after just a few minutes.

The question arises, why can’t someone explain what happened in a way that is easy to understand? The good news is that someone has done just that.

In just 9 minutes, Paul Grignon, the creator of the popular “Money as Debt” animated series, provides an analysis of our growth-dependent money-as-debt banking system. He proposes an alternative concept of money that is practical and has been used for a long time.

In this episode of “Hidden Secrets of Money,” Mike Maloney takes you to Egypt to explain the difference between currency and money. Understanding this difference is essential and will pave the way for your understanding of future episodes.

In the past, families could survive on just one paycheck, but now it seems that things are more out of control than ever before. You’re about to discover the system that’s ultimately responsible for most of the inequality in our world today.

In the fifth episode of “Hidden Secrets of Money,” Michael Maloney takes us to Berlin and Frankfurt, where we were given access to film the money museum inside the Bundesbank, one of the world’s largest central banks. This episode is an ideal introduction for those who are awakening to the monetary system around them. It clearly demonstrates the history of true money and why it’s so important for our freedom. The quality of a society is directly linked to the quality of its money. When a currency is debased for an extended period, it can result in dangerous deficits, debt-driven disasters, and eventually delusional dictators. History has proven this to be true.
