This is a great course about the financial crisis of 2008.
They walk through the similarities between the Irish bailout and the American bailout of their banks and then they walk through the differences and point out why the Irish bailout turned out soo poorly and why the American bailout was a great success.
The course is very approachable for even a novice in monetary theory.

Their free course for people without any prior knowledge is unlikely to be a trustworthy source. Alternatively you could argue that no one knows the material better given that they were there at ground zero and the ones who actually made the decisions. I mean, I see where you are coming from but I hope I never become as jaded as your comment comes across as being:)

This isn't an alternative. This can be true, and they still have no reason to present an unbiased view in this course. You should definitely be jaded enough to question the truth of someone spending billions in public money.
