Documentary by Positive Money – ‘A Simple Solution to the Debt Crisis’

 

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it’s essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked – questions like:

  • where does money come from?
  • Who creates it?
  • Who decides how it gets used?
  • And what does that mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when money and finance breaks down?

97% Owned is a new documentary that reveals how money is at the root of our current social and economic crisis. Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, it exposes the privatised, debt-based monetary system that gives banks the power to create money, shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach.

Fact-based and clearly explained, in just 60 minutes it shows how the power to create money is the piece of the puzzle that economists were missing when they failed to predict the crisis.

The documentary features interviews and comments from Positive Money, The New Economics Foundation, PRIME, Paul Moore HBOS Whistle Blower, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from Jubliee Debt Campaign.

It’s the first documentary to really tackle this issue from a UK-perspective, and can be watched online for free now

97% Owned was compiled over the last 14 months by independent film-makers Michael Horwarth and Michael Oswald. The documentary focusses on the creation of money by banks and the implications this has on debt, housing and economic stability, as well as discussing potential reforms.
