synopsis
This contribution by former Monty Python Terry Jones and economist Theo Kocken to the discussion on the causes and effects of financial crises falls somewhere between Woody Allen, Oliver Stone, and educational puppetry for adults. The barrage of scholarly economist “talking heads” is relieved by absurd humour, animations, and in particular a “straight to the point” approach.
