In 2008, the United States saw the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Millions of people lost homes and jobs in a financial meltdown that extended far beyond the nation’s borders, leaving the global economy unstable. Ten years later, the after-effects still linger. Filmmaker Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight) traces the corrosive relationships, corrupt practices, and private greed that led to a banking collapse of international proportions. Through research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians, and journalists, Inside Job stresses the importance of restoring honesty and stability to our financial system, and of holding accountable those who corrupted it. Discussion with Julia Mahoney (UVA), David Chapman (UVA), Mark Schwartz (UVA), moderated by Steve Horan (CFA Institute)
