Money as Debt is a documentary that explores the concept of money creation and the impact of debt on society. The film explains how money is created by banks through the process of fractional reserve banking, where only a fraction of deposits are kept in reserve while the rest is loaned out. This system allows banks to create money out of thin air, leading to a cycle of debt that is difficult to escape.
The documentary also delves into the history of money and the evolution of the banking system, highlighting the role of central banks in controlling the money supply. It raises questions about the sustainability of our current monetary system and the implications of a debt-based economy.
Through interviews with economists, academics, and activists, Money as Debt sheds light on the complexities of our financial system and encourages viewers to rethink their understanding of money and debt.
