Revolution by Russell Brand
4.0
Immigrants did not cause the financial crisis. Benefit cheats did not get multimillion-dollar bonuses. Disability claimants did not fracture the planet's stability.
When the reckless and greedy trading, lending and gambling of the financial institution led to the economic breakdown that if not resolved would've provoked social upheaval, possibly Revolution, the governments of the affected nations got together and decided to press reset on the economy. Aside from a few people carrying plants out of their offices in boxes, I don't remember there being many consequences at all.
Oh, and 13.1 million people had their homes foreclosed. Because their debt, it turns out, was real; it was only the debt within the financial sector that was imaginary. It was only the people who generated the crisis who got three magical wishes from an economic genie.
