Cocaine, Prostitutes, Greed .....Life as an Investment Banker

I guess everybody is exhausted by developments over the last few years. Suspend your exhaustion for a little while to catch "Inside Job" which chronicles the events that almost led to a complete global financial armageddon. The world of financial derivatives and credit default swaps is simply explained to reveal a massive fraud which almost brought the world to its knees. The scary thing is that the perpetrators of this fraud are still there at the highest level of government and the financial industry in the US.

Psychopathic behaviour is characterized by an abnormal lack of empathy combined with strongly amoral conduct but masked by an ability to appear outwardly normal. In addition to explaining how the crisis evolved the movie also lifts a veil on the psychopathic nature of the financial services industry. And just like Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, the real culprits have gotten away with it.

A must see movie.
