Check out this video by David Harvey. It is a provocative analysis of capitalism in crisis by a Marxist theorist. However, I think you will be intrigued by the presentation style. I love it. I think it is a fabulous way to take in information. I will refrain from commenting on the style of the video and just allow you to view it. But please do leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
Two of his main points (for those who wish to discuss the substance of the presentation):
"Capitalism never solves its crisis problems, it moves them around geographically."
History of capitalism is about financial ingenuity and innovation. "Financial innovation has the effect of empowering the financiers."
Special thanks to my friend Aeyn for passing this link along.

(I'm talking, of course, about the style, not the shit hole we're in. I don't understand economics enough to comment on the shit hole beyond "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!")
