A six-part documentary series by Anthony Sampson. 1: The World Religion
Money. Worshipped by some - to others, the root of all evil. In the 1980s, money has become more than ever the god of our time, linking distant nations with its own faith in numbers, credit and the bottom line. In the first programme of the series,
Anthony Sampson looks at how money creates fortunes and destroys empires. The past decade has seen the rise of corporate raiders who have challenged the power of the big, established companies such as Goodyear - often making millions of dollars in the process. The billionaire Sir James Goldsmith argues that the profit motive leads to greater efficiency, to the advantage of everyone.
Yet, top bankers warn that short-term speculation is now undermining productive industry.
