Diese englischsprachige Dokumentation mit deutschem Untertitel basiert auf dem Buch “Princess of the Yen von Professor Richard Werner und beschreibt wie die japanische Gesellschaft transformiert wurde um den Agende der mächtigen Interessensgruppen zu dienen.

“Princes of the Yen: Central Banks and the Transformation of the Economy” 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 a book by Professor Richard Werner, a visiting researcher at the Bank of Japan during the 90s crash, during which 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. “Because only power that is hidden is power that endures.”
