An intrepid group of economists is on a mission to flip our understanding of the national debt upside down.

FINDING THE MONEY follows economist Stephanie Kelton on a journey through Modern Money Theory or “MMT”. Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks ominously upwards in New York City is not actually a debt for us taxpayers at all, nor a burden for our grandchildren to pay back. Instead, Kelton describes the national debt as simply a historical record of the number of dollars created by the US federal government currently being held in pockets, as assets, by the rest of us.

MMT bursts into the media with journalists asking, “Have we been thinking about how the government spends money, all wrong?” But top economists from across the political spectrum condemn the theory as “voodoo economics”, “crazy” and “a crackpot theory”.

FINDING THE MONEY traces the conflict all the way back to the story we tell about money, injecting new hope and empowering countries around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality.

"A masterpiece! By far the most inspiring economics film I have ever seen.
This film is a gift to humanity. Everyone should watch it." - Prof. Jason Hickel

"A brilliant rewiring of our perspective on money,
and a rallying cry for a new generation to overturn the tired
dogmas of conventional economics" - Brett Scott (Author, Cloud Money)
