Thanks guys al look for the books @ amarjit ave watched both and they are part of the reason I asked . . . Have looked for critics against the film but all I can find are the ones defending religion and some lame ones defending 9/11. Nothing about the banking and money. . . .

A wise Kenyan writer said "...money is the side-effect of specialization.."
In that, in a specialized economy (where everyone is supposed to be very good at producing one thing but needs everything else from without) we need a 2-step process in every transaction. If you build houses but need bread you ask for money for your skill and give out the money for your bread. Long story short, your wealth is in your skill and not in your money ... your wealth is in what you make while money is just a mode of transfer of the said wealth to other 'wealths' ie the bread-maker's wealth is his bread(s).
Banks' wealth(s) are in the ability to ease this transfer and to leverage it. Their wealth is in this 'knowledge' and 'access'. If you look around with this concept of wealth vs money many of your questions might be answered.
Hope u r answered by my 2 cents (no pun intended :)
