Top 5 Films for Economic Students

welcome back to another video and this week I'm looking at the top 5 films for

economic students this is a video I made for the good people at project Elon a

link to their channel will be in the description below my name's Joshua and

let's get into it money monster is an epic crime drama

with a fantastic cast and the story ultimately centers around one man's

reaction to losing money after following financial advice on a popular live

broadcast that commentates on the stock market as many economic students will

venture into a role that offers certain levels some aspect of financial advice

it's important to understand that behind the glitz and glamour of the dream of

making a fortune of real people with real money going by nothing but your

word that they can positively change their financial situation a film well

worth watching especially if you're looking into financial advising a

healthy economy is what drives employment by creating and maintaining

and need for jobs so it goes about saying that an unhealthy economy will do

the opposite and cause less or zero jobs being created with current jobs being a

threat the company man follows three men who was climbing the career ladder

of success only for the recession and the round of layoffs to see them join

the unemployment line the film shows the impact this has on their lifestyle their

families and their self-worth and I don't want to give too much away if you

haven't seen this film think go give it a watch so when an unhealthy economy is

putting people out of jobs and driving down salaries it goes without saying

that we can expect people's homes to come under threat as well and in 99

homes we see Andrew Garfield providing an emotional roller coaster when he not

only loses his home but his only way of survival is to work for the man who took

it away and help him take away more homes for other people definitely a film

for anyone looking to get into real estate mortgages banking and I urge you

to watch it now margin call does have similarities to the company men as you

see a company going through a round of layoffs however they also discover

they're on the brink of a recession and we see the inner workings and the people

involved when a company has to make changes literally overnight that impacts

not only the people who work for the company but the businesses the companies

work with as the company fights for survival margin call has a fantastic

cast to keep you hooked and I've got give it a mention a standout scene for

me is where we hear about the impact just building a bridge has made for

millions of people in contrast to what they do now in the financial sector so

that one little bridge has saved the people of those two communities have

combined 1531 years of their lives not wasted

so just before we go to my number one here are some honorable mentions perhaps

too much of a documentary for myself to the list it as a top film the inside job

is still a good watch for any economic students wanting to understand the

elements that led to the financial crash similarly too big to fail follows the

2008 recession as it looks how the financial leaders we have to try and

sector do you think I've missed out any films are there any TV shows that also

touch on the economy or the financial sector let me know in the comments as

well as any other degree subjects that you would like me to find the best films
