Скачать или смотреть 236 years before 2008: The First Too-Big-To-Fail — Britain’s 1772 Rescue That Broke an Empire

A 300-year bailout algorithm—linking AIG in 2008 to the East India Company in 1772.
Cinematic institutional storytelling on credit loops, state power, and the mechanisms that govern global finance.
Summary
For centuries, the world has repeated the same rescue pattern:
private gains, public risk, and state-backed intervention when the system begins to suffocate.
This film uncovers the hidden algorithm connecting two moments separated by 236 years—
the collapse of AIG in 2008 and the East India Company default of 1772—
revealing how governments become the final backstop for corporate risk.
This is not just history.
It is the operating system of modern finance.
