Central Banks are some of the most secretive and misunderstood institutions in the world. What powers do they wield? Whose interests do they serve? How do their actions affect our everyday lives? In 2003, Richard Werner released a book by the title of "Princes of the Yen", which cut through the complex jargon of central bankers and for the first time made this obscure world accessible to the public. The book became a number one bestseller in Japan. Yet, over ten years after it was first released, the English version, is still on its first edition! Told within the context of the history of 20th Century Japan, Richard Werner meticulously solves the puzzle of central banks, and explains the social, political and economic impacts their actions have. The documentary provides the viewer with a new understanding of economics and shows how events that may appear disjointed in popular discourse are in reality intimately intertwined.

Finally I understand
It always puzzles me why US has been pushing western democracy so hard on third world countries. If you don't implement western democracy we will bomb you, assassin your leaders, implement coups and economic & trade sanctions and finally direct invasions. Why would the western leaders, who we can see don't really give a damn about their own people most of the time, give a damn about the people of other countries? Under that threat Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. are all forced to change in past 20 years. Their grow rate almost immediately flattened. After watching this movie I finally understand. It is about shareholder centric free market economic and political system. It is a system built to protect businesses and business owners. Forcing other countries to accept the western system is to make sure rights of those businesses are protected in those countries as well. Just think if you are a rich business owner and you need to design a system to protect your rights as a social class. Could you come up with a better system? In activist circle there is this "Power of one" saying, western democracy basically makes sure that is not going to happen. No one institution or person can change the system. That is essential to the survival of the system. Political parties are built on funding not ideology, that will exclude majority of people from political system. Other than business owners, unions are a political force as well, but only when businesses are profitable they can demand their "fair share", so they are in essence pro business as well. All the media outlets are businesses themselves so they also have a natural bias. People have votes but majority of them are oblivious, and can only choose between 2 or 3 well funded (read pro business) political parities. Voting process is simply a process of venting anger. The "invisible hand" makes sure the system is protected. It is not all bad. People's votes mean that common people can not be ignored too much. Of course they will try to get away with it as much as possible. The genius part of the system is that even you understand it. There is very little chance you can change it.
Clear and very precise step by step explanation about Japan glory and sudden drop.
Honest step by step explanation of how pure greed is working hand in hand under the cover of the free market pressure to kill every regulatory system that can assure an amount of prosperity for all and how it killed Japan's economy. Instead, it create opportunities for a few to get insanely rich with no regards to what happen to the economy. Pretty slow video, I speed up to 1.5 so its easier to watch. :)
Central banks are not free-market
It does a decent job at exposing the globalist central bank cartels agenda of doing economic hit jobs on other nations, but takes a logical stumble when it tries to tie the blame together with the free market. Central banks are NOT any inherent part of a free market, which the producer should be well aware of if the documentary should carry any kind of weight in its reasoning. Crony capitalism and corporatism are equally not the same thing as the free market. The documentary's pacing is quite slow and dull as is the narrating.
