film ‘Inside Job’ and write response!

The film you are required to watch is Inside Job (dir. Charles Ferguson, 2010).
Link to watch the film : http://www.theotherschoolofeconomics.org/?p=2499

‘Inside Job’ provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia (IMDB.com).

You should watch the film and undertaken other independent study activities (reading, note-taking and research) related to the topic of ‘Economics’.

write a short piece of about 500 words explaining your analysis of the link between theories and practice in political economy, with specific reference to the film.
