Video: Frontline – Breaking The Bank
H/T to Simoleon Sense for bringing this video to my attention. If you missed it the first time around, or you want to watch it again, here is the great FRONTLINE piece on Ken Lewis.
Introduction (Via PBS)
In Breaking the Bank, FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk (Inside the Meltdown, Bush’s War) draws on a rare combination of high-profile interviews with key players Ken Lewis and former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain to reveal the story of two banks at the heart of the financial crisis, the rocky merger, and the government’s new role in taking over — some call it “nationalizing” — the American banking system.
“This is more than a story about just one man or one bank,” says producer Michael Kirk. “This is the story of the most important change in the relationship between government and private business in a generation.”
