《金钱本色 信用与债务》 「金钱本色」系列节目,将带领观众经历一场世界金融的史诗之旅。尼尔‧弗格森说明在每一个巨大历史现象(帝国和共和国,战争和革命)背后,总存在一个金融秘密。信用和债务的演化与促成文明崛起(从古代的巴比伦到今天的香港)的任何科技革新一样重要。从『威尼斯商人』中的奸商夏洛克要求别人以身上一磅肉还债道格拉斯哥的放高利贷者,尼尔说明信用与债务的起源,并且解释为何信用网络是任何文明不可缺少的一部分。信用网络越是发达,债权人越不可能在债务人身上利用它们的的杠杆作用(例如在「第三世界」的格拉斯哥就会这样)。确实如此,在田纳西州的孟菲斯,破产的人才是老大─利用手段躲过债务,这在从前是难以想象的。 《金钱本色 证券市场》 「金钱本色」系列节目,将带领观众经历一场世界金融的史诗之旅。尼尔‧弗格森说明在每一个巨大历史现象(帝国和共和国,战争和革命)背后,总存在一个金融秘密。信用和债务的演化与促成文明崛起(从古代的巴比伦到今天的香港)的任何科技革新一样重要。金融服务如何走出贫民区而变成华尔街那些投顾公司野心理专的王国?答案在于:文艺复兴时期意大利证劵市场的崛起。随着债劵的出现,战争财务有了转变-这个转变遍及北欧、西欧,最终跨越大西洋到美国。证劵市场促使罗斯柴尔德家族成为19世纪最富有权势的家族。的确,20世纪中叶的巨大通货膨胀威胁减弱国际证劵市场的力量抹灭了几个世代的储蓄的真正价值。 《金钱本色 保险事业》 人生充满风险─这就是为什么人们会去买保险。但面对一个巨大和突如其来的灾难时,国家必须介入。Niall在卡特里娜风灾过后来到新奥尔良,探讨为何自由 市场无法提供充分防护以对抗天灾。他对答案的追寻使他回溯现代保险在19世纪的起源以及在二次大战后日本福利国的诞生。福利国制度出了什么问题?智利为何会在1970及1980年代从事全世界最激进的社会保险改革?如今美国和欧洲福利国正面临一个类似的报应日,我们又吸取了什么教训? 《金钱本色 股票市场》 股票市场为何会泡沫化及经济萧条?尼尔回到起源在阿姆斯特丹和巴黎的控股公司,追溯荷兰东印度公司的崛起以及法国密西西比公司的没落。他发现在法国金融家约翰劳和安隆董事主席肯尼斯 雷之间,有一些可说明问题的相似处,他同时提问像1719年(或1929年)的经济萧条是否会在我们的世代再度发生。他沿引行为财务学的新理论,说明人类 在投资时为何会有一种成群结队的本能。况且牛市突然崩盘时也没人能够准确地预测。 《金钱本色 房贷市场》 把国有的财产归还给人民,听起来很简单。一个拥有财产自主权的民主制度比起一个民营化运动的基础要更好吧?一个重要经济理论说:没有抵押市场,市场就起不 了作用,因为企业家只需利用他们的资产去借贷就能使他们的生意起飞。然而如果说抵押市场已利用资产证券化进行革命,意味着不计其数的个人抵押被捆绑在一起 并且出售给出价最高的投标者?如果说在第二轮,私募基金公司的菁英们收买了所有股份,那资产所有权岂不变得更只属于少数人 ! 《金钱本色 中美经济联姻》 问题:新兴市场是什么?答案:一个发生紧急状态的地方。从1990年代开始,世界已见识到惊人的转变。曾经是高风险市场的亚洲、南美洲、东欧─在1998 年曾中断了创新的避险基金长期资本管理─似乎变得比英国或美国股票市场成为更好的投资目标。原因是「Chimerica」的崛起─中国和美国经济联姻的产物。但是贫穷的中国存款户借钱给富有的美国消费者,到底有没有道理?它的崩溃会不会引发一场相当于1914年大萧条的金融危机?

An expert at sleight of hand and with a keen eye for identifying charlatans and tricksters, our story begins as Harry has fallen on hard times in recent years, professionally and ethically losing his way. He’s resorted to making his living as a fake medium and fraudulent ghost hunter, conducting séances for unsuspecting families who think their lives have been made a misery by ghostly mischief making. Harry’s duplicitous lifestyle has also had serious consequences when after leading a séance for a tragic soldier a young man commits suicide on the doorstep of Harry’s home. A couple of months later, Harry is offered the chance to investigate the haunting of a local MP’s home as the case threatens to ruin the politician’s reputation. With the prospects of leading his political party, Edward Curtis can ill-afford the scandal as his wife Grace begins to hallucinate and act bizarrely and very much out of character as she believes their family home to be haunted. There’s a possibility Grace may be committed to an asylum in scandalous circumstances if Harry doesn’t take on the investigation. Ghosts from Harry’s past influence his decision to take the case and he begins to think it might be time to take a new path. Together with the Curtis family maid, Sarah Grey, whose own mother has fallen prey to con artist mediums in the past, their detection and investigative skills complement one another and they make a formidable partnership. Smart, driven and open-minded, Sarah is a strong-minded woman who can handle herself when unravelling the mysteries behind the hauntings, which are seriously affecting Grace’s health and well-being. Harry also calls on the services of his old friend, Albert, during the investigation. An African pharmacist with a sideline in voodoo con-artistry, Albert has a keen interest in medical and scientific discoveries, which Harry exploits to the maximum. Journalist Vernon Wall also finds himself in Harry’s orbit. Cynical and hard-bitten, although clever at winning the trust of the people he’s interviewing, Vernon is keen to learn about Harry’s techniques and sensing a political scandal sets out to inveigle his way into his life by extracting information from Sarah.

一个男人由于患上了强迫性神经官能症,生活面临崩溃。可是在这样关键的时刻,他竟然遇上一段意想不到的风流韵事。黑色幽默的故事让观众惊喜连连。 The British indie DIRTY FILTHY LOVE offers a quirky spin on the standard romantic-comedy formula with the tragicomic misadventures of its neurochemically-addled hero. Mark Furness (Michael Sheen) is a thirtysomething architect whose marriage and career are threatened by his increasing obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette’s syndrome, which include repetitive and completely involuntary activities such as stair-counting, hand-washing, and swearing. When his wife Stevie (Anastasia Griffith) files for divorce and he loses his job to a subordinate, Mark turns to his doctor for help but instead meets a kindred soul, Charlotte (Shirley Henderson), who immediately diagnoses Mark’s mental disorders and offers him therapy via her own self-help group. The film’s darkly humorous yet poignant tone is carried by Sheen’s nuanced performance and an unsentimental script co-penned by Ian Puleston-Davies, whose own experiences with OCD lend authenticity to the proceedings.
