Have you seen "Inside Job"?

I need to take notes next time...

I thought the point about soft corruption in Economics was pretty interesting. Paul Krugman agreed with the movie:

OK, about the economist-bashing: I thought it was basically fair. There aren't, I think, all that many cases when economists are literally paid to offer a specific opinion — although Greenspan's defense of Keating qualifies. But the movie didn't say there are. What it suggested, instead, was a kind of soft corruption: you get paid a lot of money by the financial industry, you get put on boards, but only if you don't rock the boat too much. Besides, you hang out with these people, and get assimilated by the financial Borg. I think all of that is very true.

Your thoughts?

It won the Oscar for best documentary. So I guess it's good...*shrug*

As much as I was rooting for "Exit Through the Gift Shop," this was the correct pick.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm going to try to this weekend.  Sounds like the kind of thing I would enjoy.
