Money @ PBS

Money remains a complex subject, that is the least we can say. After more than 5,000 years of usage, money continues to drive humans crazy. Alas, we are a decade into the 21^st century, and we are still trying to figure out a way to control it, optimize it, manage it, manipulate it, distribute it, you mention it. Paradoxically, we can learn about money’s modern complexity for free. To start understanding why we cannot understand money, the U.S. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has made available on-line an informative documentary that tells the history of money. “The Ascent of Money” was written and hosted by renowned Harvard historian Niall Ferguson and consists of four enlightening episodes. Mr. Ferguson’s thick British accent brings further gravity to money’s ascent. Do not waste this opportunity to bring in profitable knowledge.
