Princes of the Yen: The Hidden Power of Central Banks

Dr.Docs' Take

Princes of the Yen argues that Japan's post-war economy was quietly steered by its central bank toward outcomes the public never voted for and never saw coming. I find central-bank conspiracies far scarier than lizard people, precisely because they are dull, real, and enormous. The film's claim that this pattern is now repeating worldwide is the part that lingers. Follow who prints the money and you find who actually runs the room.

This documentary argues that post-war Japan was reshaped to serve powerful interests while ordinary citizens were kept in the dark. Based on the book by economist Richard Werner, it examines the hidden power of central banks over national economies. It traces how monetary policy quietly steered Japan's boom and bust, with lessons echoing around the world today. Provocative and eye-opening, it questions who really controls the money.
