The rules of the national and international financial system keep changing, as we move from crisis to bubble, from prosperity to bankruptcy, from the American dream to the American nightmare. As the American Empire has evolved over centuries and totters on the abyss of decline, it behooves us to step off the quickly moving carousel of daily revelations, and look beneath the surface of events at the historical patterns that have led to this ever changing, yet remarkably the same, moment in time.

Life on the Edge of a Bubble- Blowing the American Dream is a fast paced kaleidoscopic look at the bubbles, panics, and depressions that have reoccurred almost like clockwork every twenty years since the United States government joined forces with the banking interests, back in the 1700’s. Using vintage footage, slick TV ads, revelatory statements made by politicians and Federal Reserve chairmen, in the course of the most recent bailouts, the film is paced like a roller coaster, punctuated by thoughtful statements and the dramatic chronicling of past human follies.

Sir Isaac Newton is quoted as saying, “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.â€
