Two part documentary. In this two part series, Jacques Peretti investigates how the super-rich are transforming Britain. What does the arrival of their astronomical wealth really mean for everyone else? - BBC Available on iPlayer (UK) and illegally on YouTube. Clip: Spot the the commodity trader!
To be honest its UK leftist crap, at one point he is stood at a high value car auction and says something along the lines of "this is the result of the bank bail outs"
I would like to watch this, but unfortunately I find Jacques Peretti's narrative style irritating. UK press seem to have summed up the documentary as the rich complaining they don't have the spending power of the super rich.
Leftist rant about inequality. Apparently the black scholes option pricing model and securitisation are to blame. For another view see this video http://order-order.com/2015/01/19/were-healthier-wealthier-and-longer-living/
I watched a shameless parade of money whores, whose calling in life is jerking off on 100000 dollar dresses and multi million dollar junk cars, unwilling to contribute their fair share to the societies they enjoy living in and uncapable of empathy for people less fortunate than themselves. Those were not the people that create prosperity and wealth for us all. They are vampires that suck the blood out of the vains of society. Zum Kotzen!
true, but now who is responsible to fix the mess? It use to be the Church. The government could take it from the "money whores" and give to "the societies they enjoy living in" but I doubt that would increase "empathy" in the world. In fact, it may even decrease it.
Government is just as much part the problem. The mob will have to resort to violence to "fix" this, but I don't see it happening in the near future. Maybe when robotization makes large parts of the workforce redundant it could change.
