Greed is Good, Episode 5, The Eighties, CNN. Tonite, 8PM ET; Finance & Corruption Refresher/Jolt.



'Greed is Good', The Eighties, CNN tonight 8 PM ET. Or Watch the FULL EPISODE 5 here on YouTube.

Start of Reagonomics, Financial Deregulation, Insider Trading, Mega Profits, Junk Bonds, Mergers and Acquisitions, Financial Raiders, Savings and Loan Crisis, the rise of consumerism and shopping malls across America and more when Wall Street corruption and greed set the tone for a decade of greed and excess that continues.
Favorite characters not to miss; Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Donald Trump, Leona 'little people pay taxes' Helmsley, Jim and Tammy Bakker Televangelists and lots of others.

Relax, pour a cocktail or two for a look back at where it all started..
