Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy (2014), a film on how the Bank of Japan created the worlds biggest financial bubble and then popped it.

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 and has now been made into a film by Michael Oswald.
