Business Documentaries

[TylerL]

I want to watch a good business-related documentary on my laptop while I work, and I've already seen The Smartest Guys in the Room. Preferably streaming from a US/Can site, google video would be sweet.

Any suggestions?

I started watching a PBS documentary last night, 3 two hour parts on globalization and how the world economy came to be. The "business" of world powers one could say.

Commanding Heights : Battle For The World Economy

Google Video Ep1 (other Ep's in right menu)

I forget what its called but its on the history channel all the time, but the documentary on the hilton hotels. I gotta say it was extremely interesting. I wouldn't mind the same format being done on the dupant company or possibly walmart.

I'm watching Pirates of Silicon Valley right now and it's awesome. Couldn't find a stream for StartUp.com though, so I'll just have to Netflix it. Great thread btw

pirates of silicon valley is a drama, kinda boring imho. startup.com is a documentary on a retarded web 1.0 startup, it's surreal to watch and see all that money wasted.

you might want to check your On Demand menus (on cable) if you got Showtime/Startz/HBO... I saw Startup.com on one of them about a year ago, it might still be up

Startup.com is one of my favorites, highly recommended, a must see actually. In fact, if you don't watch it tonight I'll be pissed.

Actually CNBC did a documentary on Wal-Mart called "The Age of Wal-Mart"

CNBC has a quite a few great business documentaries available on HULU now

The latest is called Porn: Business of Pleasure -- it's about the $13 billion dollar industry and how they are now seeing a rapid decline in profits due to all the tube sites and piracy.

I couldn't get past the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 music in the beginning haha.

Also, +1 for the CNBC documentaries on Hulu (or on CNBC lol)...the one on Marijuana is especially good. But -1 for their American Greed show, that is a POS full of all kinds of BS and lies.
