Watch Zeitgeist, the movie, if you ever get a chance. Explains how all this is done and has been done since the advent of cash. Your man speaks way too fast and it's too detailed for the likes of me who has no interest in Fiat Currencies and the likes....but you can wade through and skip all the other manipulation that has been performed on us. At the end of it one realises how stupid people are.
There's 2 or 3 of the films out there and rumour has it Bankers are made digest them all. It would seem everyone is conned at the start by copying their parents and they know this.
