It's got a lot of great quotes, but the best were the behavioral economics issues on the individual level that we like so much. Multiply those individual cases by a few million buyers, and you've got a market that ate itself.

Behavioral economics is a fantastic new field that has developed within the past decade or so. I haven't seen the documentary in its entirety yet, but it's on my list of things to do.
