Life on the Edge of a BubbleLiving on the Edge of a Bubble (1:45:00)
From our FSTV documentary series, Living on the Edge of a Bubble illuminates the unstable history of the American financial system through the perpetual cycle of booms and busts that threatens the promise of the American Dream.  A provocative and often humorous adventure, the film challenges conventional wisdom about the causes of the current crisis and leads the debate about solutions.
