Filmyzilla: Inside Job

The film traces the erosion of financial oversight from the Reagan administration through the 1990s, specifically citing the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act and the prevention of derivative regulation.

The film begins by highlighting the rapid growth and increasing influence of the financial sector in the decades leading up to the crisis. The 1980s and 1990s saw a significant deregulation of the financial industry, which allowed banks and other financial institutions to engage in riskier and more speculative activities. This deregulation, coupled with advances in technology and the emergence of new financial instruments, created an environment in which financial institutions could take on excessive risk and reap enormous rewards. inside job filmyzilla
