America’s wealth was built on the backs and shoulders of those who came before us and all who have yet to come after us. But today, very few Americans are benefiting from the collective wealth of our great nation. Rising wealth inequality continues to reward the rich and powerful – leaving the rest of us behind to fight over crumbs. It’s time to reimagine a new social contract. INHERENT GOOD is a 60-minute documentary starring southern comedian Trae Crowder who takes viewers on a journey to explore a transformative idea of giving free cash to every citizen – no strings attached. This big idea called Universal Basic Income is examined through personal stories of perseverance by everyday Americans living in the heartland. It’s not a matter if we deserve it, but rather do we trust each other to make basic income a reality for everyone?

Thinking Money: The Psychology Behind Our Best and Worst Financial Decisions(en)

2014-10-16

Thinking Money is an hour-long exploration on public television of what behavioral economics has to tell us about how and why we spend, save (or don't) and think about money. It presents some of the country's most innovative thinkers who mix economics with psychology. Their experiments and insights into our financial behavior enlighten and often amuse as we learn to recognize how both our brains and the marketplace can trick us into spending money we shouldn't. The program explores a whole raft of techniques, apps, websites and ways of thinking that help us to save for the types of things that make our lives more secure: emergency funds, our kids' education, and ultimately our comfortable retirements. A mix of fascinating theory and practical takeaways, Thinking Money is designed to decrease the stress and increase the bandwidth in not just our finance, but our whole lives.
