This documentary explores the mechanics of the modern monetary system, challenging the common perception that money is a finite resource managed by governments. Through interviews with experts and analysis of economic data, the film reveals how commercial banks create the vast majority of money in circulation through the issuance of loans. It highlights the inherent instability of this debt-based system, where the constant need for new credit drives economic cycles and concentrates power within the banking sector, ultimately questioning the democratic control over the money supply.
