It's Friday Night! Party Time!   Time to relax, put your feet up on the couch, lay back, and watch some detailed videos on economic policy!

This week is Economist and Historian Niall Ferguson's 6 part PBS documentary The Ascent of Money. Niall Ferguson goes through the history of finance and also shows globalization is not new, but simply a very old game, revised. Dr. Ferguson has a book of the same title.

The Ascent of Money, Part I -Introduction

The Ascent of Money, Part II - Trust

The Ascent of Money, Part III - Safe as Houses

The Ascent of Money, Part IV - Blowing Bubbles

The Ascent of Money, Part V - Human Bondage

The Ascent of Money, Part VI - Risky Business

The Ascent of Money, Part VII - Chimerica

Honestly, the cuts on these videos is different across sites but considering it's over 6 hours of some very interesting stuff, I figure you can go to the PBS website and youtube if anything is missing.
