Finding the Money

Finding the Money

26th TIDF: European Premiere

Can a new economic theory revolutionize our ability to tackle the climate crisis? 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 Modern Money Theory (MMT) to unveil a deeper story about money, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality. “An alternative story of money will revolutionize our conception of what we as a society believe we can afford and can achieve,” says the maker of this visionary documentary – a true cinematic investment.
