Documentaries about the crisis

While some of us were in London, the rest were watching some documentaries about the current crisis. 
One is Inside Job, that won an Oscar. The other one is Fraude, it is a spanish documentary with a different point of view. Besides, you have another one, Overdose. All explain the crisis from very different perspectives.

If you want to practice doing exercises, have a look here.

RATE OF INTEREST: Tipo de interés
BORROW: Tomar/pedir dinero prestado
LEND: Prestar dinero

Take care.
