Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy

Queuepolitely

"Only Power that is Hidden, is Power that Endures."

November 5, 2014

'Princes of the Yen' is a follow-up to the successful underground film produced by Queuepolitely, a collective of filmmakers and artists, some known, some unknown.

This is their own description of this film, based on a book by the UK's University of Southampton, Professor Richard Werner, famous for coining the term, "Quantative
Easing."

"Central Banks are some of the most secretive and misunderstood institutions in the world. What powers do they wield? Who’s interests do they serve? How do their actions affect our everyday lives?

"Set in 20th Century Japan, the documentary explores the role and power of Central Banks, and how they can be used to change a country's economic, political and social structures."
