The Big Short

0 views

This movie makes me think about so many topics all at once.  There are the obvious categories of finance, markets, and regulation.  Then there are the issues of privilege and access, both to information and to money.  Or questions of personality and communication: who is working hard, quietly or alone, to explore the facts while others are loudly selling catchy phrases in ignorance? I hope you are inspired to follow one of these lines of inquiry by watching a video or reading a book below.  If another idea sparks your interest, the library can help you locate diverse opinions for supporting your exploration.
