This is not really new data, but I will agree with the makers in that the basis of the modern monetary system is not well publicized. However, there is a tone for the first three segments that seems to imply that a monetary system needs to be based on some 'real' item, such as gold. Then, that is dismissed, which makes sense. (Today, a system could just as easily be based on the collective labor value of a society weighted for skill. In fact, this is really what the OLD monetary system was based on, but since there were less effective ways to control counterfeiting, it was based on a scare 'precious' commodity).
However, where the video producers show all their real cards is when they say a system should be created where every hour of labor is equally valued, no matter the service or good provided as an output. The socialism is out of the bag. Shouldn't the market decide if say, an hour of a doctor's time providing a heart bypass surgery is more valuable, than say, I don't know, an hour of some kid's time flipping burgers at McDonald's is worth? (I know I'm willing to pay a lot more for a trained, skilled surgeon than I'd pay for some Joe off the street doing my surgery). Then, the final straw is dropped, whereby the government establishes the value for everything based on what those in control think is fair. Welcome back to a command economy where a minority (even if elected) make overwhelming choices for the majority.
Now, that's not to say the first three segments, and part of the fourth, don't make good points, they do. Then, there is some weak-ass collectivist bullshit tacked on as the 'solution'. Feh!
