US Currency
Have a watch of the video below. Taken from an American perspective but just as applicable to our economies in Europe, it’s lengthy (sorry, but there’s a lot to cover), and stuffed full of historical references that trace the evolution of money through the centuries and up to the present day. But it’ll keep you engaged and, apart from the narrator’s irritating habit of jabbing his pencil or finger at the viewer all the time, it’s an easy watch.
Note the film was made well before the current economic crash yet you’ll hear predictions of financial collapse discussed casually as if the speakers all knew for sure what was coming. In fact they aren’t soothsayers, rather they have uncovered the crooked banking game that made this crash inevitable.

They need to generate an awful lot of smoke and erect so many mirrors to prevent you from exposing them as the ultimate practitioners of the (second?) oldest vice of all, avarice. And you are the victim and always have been.
If you imagine money is a measure of your worth then settle back and watch this. I believe you’ll have a very different view of things a couple of hours from now.
