Behind Closed Doors is a Documentary about corruption in high places and those who enable that corruption. Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) are people who hold a public function and as a result present higher risks of being involved in Bribery, Money Laundering or Corruption. Offshore leaks have revealed repeatedly that PEPs use British finance and British offshore jurisdictions to launder their wealth, hide their wealth and re-invest that wealth back into the global financial system. London is the place where they buy property, where they take legal action against their critics and where they live when they fall from grace. But what happens when a developing country fights back and attempts to get Britain to return the money that it claims has been stolen? Watch Behind Closed Doors and find out. Behind Closed Doors is a film by Michael Oswald and Murtaza Mehdi, about money laundering and corruption.

When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does this mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when the monetary, and financial system, breaks down? A film by Michael Oswald, Produced by Mike Horwath, featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor, the "HBOS Whistleblower" Paul Moore, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign.

Princes of the Yen | The Hidden Power of Central Banks Michael Oswald's film “Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” 『円の支配者』reveals how Japanese society was transformed to suit the agenda and desire of powerful interest groups, and how citizens were kept entirely in the dark about this. Based on the book of the same title by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, the stock market dropped by 80% and house prices by up to 84%. The film uncovers the real cause of this extraordinary period in recent Japanese history. __________________________________ ❂If you enjoy this please like, and share ❂Press the bell 🔔 for more updates. ❂Share your opinion in the comments. __________________________________ ►Website: 👉http://princesoftheyen.com ►How central banks create money: 👉http://princesoftheyen.com/central-bank-money-creation/ ►Sign up for our newsletter and be the first to hear about upcoming releases 👉https://sendfox.com/IndependentPOVdocs __________________________________ ⌚ Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:17 The American Occupation of Japan 8:12 Kishi Nobusuke and Post-Occupation Politics 11:05 The Japanese War Economy System 15:29 The War Economy and International Trade 18:33 Japan's Central Bankers Call for Economic Reform 23:28 How to Create an Economic Bubble 29:28 Money Creation and the Bubble 32:59 International Capital Flows 37:58 The Crash of the Japanese Economy 46:18 The Power of Central Banks 53:48 Dismantling the Ministry of Finance 56:36 An Independent Bank of Japan 59:57 No Economic Growth without Structural Reform 1:08:51 The Southeast Asian Crisis 1:15:25 The IMF to the Rescue 1:20:21 The Bailout of Long-Term Capital Management 1:22:30 The European Debt Crisis 1:28:21 Conclusion __________________________________ Music is from Buro: https://app.bmgproductionmusic.co.uk/carrier/127689 and Antonymes: https://antonymes.bandcamp.com/ 🙏 Help us spread the word: Rate this film on IMDB: 👉http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4172710/ ____________________________________ STAY CONNECTED: 🔵Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IndependentPOV 🔵Twitter: https://twitter.com/Independent_POV 📧For Inquiries: ►contact@independentpov.org ___________________________________ Reviews: “Mastery of filmmaking.
