It's really simple and explain a lot more than just fractional reserve banking. It covers the history of money, before the FED was created.

If you want something longer and detailled, watch "Money Masters" (3hrs+)

It's an oxymoron to pretend regulations and backups keep things operational. The 2008 crisis would not exists. The FDIC would be bankrupt if it was not of QE... and now QE2.
