The Money as Debt videos by Paul Grignon are a fantastic watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nBPN-MKefA&list=PLmpODdsfpr...

Except that they are not based on real facts. A much better explanation of how money is related to debt, which actually relies on established facts from the historical record, is "Debt: The First 5000 Years" by David Graeber.
David Graeber also did an excellent BBC Radio Series on the same subject - Promises, Promises: A History of Debt: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b054zdp6/episodes/player - (registration required / geo limited)
