Four Horsemen

Editor's Take

Marshaling nearly two dozen economists, thinkers, and former advisers, the film argues that the modern financial and political order has reached a breaking point. It ranges across banking, empire, debt, and inequality, contending that the prevailing rules can no longer hold. The scope is broad and the stance decidedly critical, so the film is best met as a sustained argument rather than a balanced survey. Its interest lies in assembling many dissenting voices into a single, wide-angle critique.

Four Horsemen brings together twenty-three thinkers, economists, and former advisers to explain how the modern financial and political system reached breaking point. The film examines banking, empire, debt, and inequality, arguing that the old rules can no longer hold and asking what might replace them. It is ambitious and wide-ranging, aiming to show how the world really works rather than how it is usually described. It is a provocative primer for anyone questioning the foundations of the global economy. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
