Finding the Money is a documentary that asks a simple but often avoided question. How does the government actually pay for things?
Through interviews with economists, policymakers, and journalists, the film explores Modern Monetary Theory and challenges the idea that public spending works like household budgeting. It examines where money really comes from, what limits government spending, and how these assumptions shape decisions about healthcare, climate action, jobs, and public services.
The film is accessible and provocative, designed for anyone who wants to better understand how the economic rules we take for granted came to be and whether they still make sense.
Some of our talks over the past two days have covered many of the topics discussed in detail in the film.
A conversation about the film will take place as part of the free-to-attend PINTONOMICS event following the film.
