A 45 minute movie explaining how our economy works.  Very good…and depressing.

Who knew?

  • OK, so our family watched the whole thing… twice. But then it leaves us with this question: what can be done about it? Just develop some trade-level, marketable skills and trust God a la the lilies of the field?

    You’re right, it IS good… and depressing. What else have you thought about since watching this?

    (btw, I found myself thinking back to many things that both Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee said while on the stumps throughout this informative video. They both seem to have plans that grasp the enormity of the problem.)

    Ron Paul, yes. Mike Huckabee, no.
    The first 30 minutes is very informative. The last 15 minutes are the authors opinions, which most of I disagree with. They want a stable population, in other words, a person has to die, for you to have another kid.

    Using resources more wisely can make things sustainable, even on an exponential scale. While I agree with sustainability in some respects, I believe in it for different reasons. The author of the movie is obviously not coming from a Christian worldview.
