The shadow banking system is a key component of the U.S. economy, but the financial crisis has frozen it solid. Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch explains what shadow banking is and why it's important enough to warrant its own bailout, called the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.

    This completely neglects to mention the fractional reserve banking system that the real banks are using to loan out 10 times more money than they actually have. Very misleading to say that the banks are making loans on money that people have deposited, in fact they are making 10 times the loans of the deposits they have on the books.

    that may be true, but one video at a time. the nice thing about these is their length makes each more palatable to watch/listen, especially while at work or doing various tasks.
