"As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavour to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." Abraham Lincoln to Colonel William F. Elkins, 21 Nov. 1864
A PBS documentary that attempts to show the role and power of economics in a democracy using an unbiased reporting method. Sadly, it is slightly biased and Part 3 should be considered propaganda.
The previous documentary left some open questions, this is a follow up. It is not made by PBS and should be considered propaganda, but there are a few important facts to keep in mind which makes for a more balanced argument to the whole.
Many people prefer to watch shows here because the commercials have been cut out; they don't like commercials but do they know why? While this series is very entertaining, maybe you don't want to sit through it, here is a written description

Most people don't know what a Corporation is, this documentary attempts to explain. I say "attempts" because part which identifies the origin of the corporation as being in the 18th century is incorrect. The origins of the corporation are important to know because it shows how the Merchant Class usurped power from the Noble Class through economics and finally was able to completely overthrow them with the help of the people by manipulating the ideals of Democracy, which lead to WWI & WWII.
A look at the Merchant Class and their tactics.
In ancient Rome it was said that "those who control the wheat control the state", this was due to the fact that no machines were invented to do the work, only people and bread was their fuel. Today is a different story...
The power and influence of the oil industry...
It is your food.[i]
[i]WARNING: This documentary has extremely graphic images and testimony about WWI & WWII.
The reason for this link is too show how certain members of the Merchant Class supported the Nazis Party and how Germany was able to create a military so soon after losing WWI("America lent the money to Germany to pay for their war reparations").
