Finding the Money. by Poitras, Maren,film director.; Giant Pictures (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Giant Pictures in 2023.We all use money, and yet the questions of what is money, and where does money come from remain elusive.FINDING THE MONEY follows Stephanie Kelton on a journey through the controversial Modern Money Theory or “MMT.” Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks ominously upwards in New York City is not actually a debt for us taxpayers at all, nor a burden for our grandchildren to pay back. Instead, Kelton describes the national debt as simply a historical record of the number of dollars created by the US federal government currently being held in pockets, as assets, by the rest of us.MMT bursts into the mainstream media, with journalists asking, “Have we been thinking about how the government spends money, all wrong?”But top economists and politicians from across the political spectrum condemn the theory as “voodoo economics”, “crazy” and “a crackpot theory.”FINDING THE MONEY traces the conflict all the way back to the story we tell about money, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Peter CoyoteOriginally produced by The Film Sales Company in 2024.The current day assault on democracy did not begin with Trumpism. It did not begin with the Tea Party. It did not begin with the Moral Majority. It did not even begin in this century.

Today those white supremacists and their heirs are known as Christian Nationalists. And BAD FAITH is their story.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

We've got to try : how the fight for voting rights makes everything else possible / by O'Rourke, Beto,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In We've Got To Try, O'Rourke shines a spotlight on the heroic life and work of Dr. Lawrence Aaron Nixon and the west Texas town where he made his stand. The son of an enslaved man, Nixon grew up in the Confederate stronghold of Marshall, Texas before moving to El Paso, becoming a civil rights leader, and helping to win one of the most significant civil and voting rights victories in American history: the defeat of the all-white primary. His fight for the ballot spanned 20 years and twice took him to the U.S. Supreme Court. With heart, eloquence, and powerful storytelling, O'Rourke weaves together Nixon's story with those of other great Texans who changed the course of voting rights and improved America's democracy. While connecting voting rights and democracy to the major issues of our time, O'Rourke also shares what he saw, heard, and learned while on his own journey throughout the 254 counties of his home state. By telling the stories of those he met along the way and bringing us into the epicenter of the current fight against voter suppression, the former El Paso Congressman shows just how essential it is that the sacred right to vote is protected and that we each do our part to save our democracy for generations to come"--

Cuckooland : where the rich own the truth / by Burgis, Tom,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Behind a boardroom table at one of London's most fearsome law firms sits the man who wants to own the truth. He is wealthy, influential, a friend to princes and prime ministers. There is no door in the land that doesn't open to him. But who is he really? How did he make his money? The search for the answer leads investigative reporter Tom Burgis from Putin's St Petersburg to a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan, from Kazakh torture chambers to a Kathmandu cabal of Maoists. Places where reality is beaten into submission. The trail does not stop there. It leads on into the democracies, where the truth is said to be sacred -- but where today it is for sale. An entire industry has taken shape to serve those who are seizing the greatest prize of all. The power to choose what they want reality to be and impose that reality on the world. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know -- and what we are not. 'Write your book and you'll see what happens to it', says the rich man behind the boardroom table. Perhaps Cuckooland has been pulled from the shelves, censored or pulped. If not, inside is the thrilling story of the heist of our times: the takeover of reality itself.
