Finding The Money
This documentary lifts the lid on how money works, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle climate change and inequality.
An underdog group of economists is on a mission to instigate a paradigm shift by flipping our understanding of the national debt — and the nature of money — upside down.
FINDING THE MONEY follows former chief economist to Senator Bernie Sanders, Stephanie Kelton, on a journey through the controversial Modern Money Theory or “MMT”, to unveil a deeper story about money, to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century. Directed by Maren Poitras.
“Stephanie Kelton and her band of Modern Monetary Theorists have been shaking the temple of conventional monetary error for years. This great film is the battering ram that will knock the temple down.” — James K Galbraith
