Well, to summarise the video it's about as much as you're going to get on TV about the ridiculous economic system. Obviously, because it's TV, they don't go so far as to say that the behaviour and policies of central bankers at the moment are completely futile and an attempt to stall before the inevitable happens (or deliberately designed to make things worse). It's just interesting to me because some of the content is just pretty much putting forward the same arguments that would have been in a film like 'The Money Masters' (it's even titled similarly) or 'Creature from Jekyll Island' which were perennially dismissed as a 'conspiracy theory'.
Now, it cannot be denied, but TV still says, "well, yes, the central bankers have fucked up really badly, yes they have an inordinate amount of power, yes they hide this power, yes we're in a dismal economic state because of them, but maybe things will still turn out okay." If you go to JREF, though, there will still be people on there who think they've 'debunked' The Money Masters (I don't know this for sure, I'm just assuming that it's the case), but would probably watch this and completely accept it, and still probably buy into all that Keynesian bollocks, and other completely redundant economic theories that have nothing to do with reality. They'll probably watch every fiat currency collapse, as has long been predicted, and still deny that this is the case because it's been 'debunked'.
