NYC PREMIERE What exactly is money? Easy question – except it is not. Filmmaker Maren Poitras tackles the fascinating history of money and the linked concepts of taxation and debt by following an underdog group of economists including Stony Brook professor Stephanie Kelton. With a radical shift in thinking around a concept dubbed Modern Money Theory, Kelton provocatively asserts new hope for democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
