Review of Debtocracy

Debtocracy (2011)
4/10
Lacking substance, revolutionary bogus without foundations

As a person living in a country undergoing IMF intervention, I was expecting this to be a focused effort on demagogy ridden countries leading to inevitable bankruptcy. Unfortunately, it's just a "whodunit" missing the target. You, the Greeks, did it. We, the Portuguese, did it. We filled offices with politicians striving for popular acceptance which, always turns into a tug-of-war between expectations and possible outcomes.

Argentina is not an example - the dollar pegging was artificial to begun with but, alas, not mandatory or required by international treaties.

Ecuador, really? Are we trying to be the El Salvador of Germany? Yes, they borrowed too much because we demanded such. Now it's payback time. You can keep the revolutionary stamina but you better direct it towards your own politicians who deliberately put you in that situation.

I give it four stars for production value only.
