The Finance Curse

Some time a go petra posted a link to a documentary, The Spider's Web,: Britain's Second Empire, about how extreme wealth is accumulated and protected. The maker of that documentary has produced another film on a similar theme which covers global acquisition rather than covering just Britain. It's called The Finance Curse.
