Watch a few of these videos if you will. I was sent this last night through a Facebook economics group, started watching them and thought others might be interested too.

Also I recommend watching the videos half way down this specific link:
http://karmabanqueradio.com/2008/10/05/stacy-blog-iceland-on-verge-of-collapse-as-trading-partners-refuse-to-take-their-currency/
These videos actually go back to before the economic crisis and deals with 'carry trading' and the massive increases in share values
et al.. So if I am right in my assumption, Max was predicting the inevitable collapse of the financial system before it happened. He talks about inflation of fiat in world money markets, which in one example he sites as being caused by Japan having 0% interest rates and people using their currency due to it being cheap credit. While Max Keiser seems a little strange, in a way he makes economics as a topic seem interesting to watch, due to his interesting mannerisms and erratic outbursts.
