Great New Video for Teaching History

Looking for a new video to add to your history lessons?  Try our new DVD Too Much Money.  This video about the causes and effects of inflation (also great for Economics and Business!) focuses on the stories of the Spanish Conquistadors, George Washington and the Continental Army during the American Revolution, Germany after WWI, and Bolivia in the 1980s.  These are some important stories about the devastating impacts of inflation to include in your American or World History lessons.

Here's a sample:

If you can't view You Tube, click here to see it on Vimeo.  

If you order Too Much Money before September 29th, you will also receive our other new DVD, A World of Money, FREE!  Visit www.izzit.org to get your copies today.
