Addicted to Money (ATOM Study Guide)

Addicted to Money, presented by Irish economist, David McWilliams explores how the global financial crisis came about, what it all means for us now, and what the economic future holds.

The program surveys the wreckage of the global economy and points to the worrying, but potentially transformative challenges ahead. It is both a story of shocking collective failure and a rallying call for change. David McWilliams travels the world, from Europe to Iceland to China, the United States, Australia and Latin America, surveying the wreckage that has been caused by the great meltdown. He discovers that this was a crisis that was avoidable, yet ironically necessary if we are to deal with the real challenge that lies just over the horizon: creating an economy that can sustain our society for the long term.
