| Inside USA - A look back at the past year - 10 Oct 08-Part 2 | |
| Over the last few weeks, the world has watched as some of the best-known brand names in US capitalism have either crumbled or been bailed out by taxpayers. You could be forgiven for thinking that the financial crisis is all about men in suits, whether on Wall Street or in Washington. But the meltdown did not begin on Wall Street and it did not begin just a few weeks ago. It has been building for years as US workers have struggled with stagnant wages and rising costs - whether for housing, fuel or health care. For the past year, Inside USA has been following those stories. | |

| Crisis in the Credit System Episode 4 (Part 2) by Melanie Gilligan | |
| Crisis in the Credit System is a four-part drama dealing with the credit crisis, scripted and directed by artist Melanie Gilligan. A major investment bank runs a brainstorming and role-playing session for its employees, asking them to come up with strategies for coping with todays dangerous financial climate. Role-playing their way into increasingly bizarre scenarios, they find themselves drawing disturbing conclusions about the deeper significance of the crisis and its effects beyond the world of finance. Using fiction to communicate what is left out of documentary accounts of the crisis, the short, TV-style episodes reflect the strangeness of life today in which the financial abstractions that govern our lives appear to be collapsing. Crisis in the Credit System, commissioned and produced by Artangel Interaction, is the result of extensive research and conversation with major hedge fund managers, key financial journalists, economists, bankers and debt activists. http://www.crisisinthecreditsystem.org.uk | |
