Worse Than Love (4 Parts)

Synopsis: Part 1: Shows how from 1944 until 1971 the US dollar ran the world, but failed when declining mountains of gold in Fort Knox could no longer guarantee the growing piles of dollars in the world.
Part 2: Looks at the oil crises of the 1970s and the subsequent debt drisis of the 1980s, focusing on Mexico’s success story.
Part 3: Shows how Japan is not the super-country with a super-economy that so many Japan watchers want us to believe. The Japanese also make mistakes and in money matters they made incredible sacrifices, sacrifices that some Japanese claim were made to save the US.
Part 4: Follows Europe’s search for monetary stability: the EMS, the role of the French-German co-operation and the German integration which leaves its marks throughout the whole of Europe.
