Description
Bank Job is a gripping story about two filmmakers who take a bold step to challenge the financial system. Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn's project aims to cancel over £1m of high-interest debt from their local community by printing their own money in a disused bank. The duo's approach is both risky and empowering, as they use self-education and mutual action to create change. Behind the complex language and diagrams, they uncover a system flawed by design but ripe for hacking. This book offers an inspiring account of how they listen and act upon widespread desire to transform the economic system to meet the needs of many. For those brave enough to challenge the status quo, Bank Job provides a compelling example of how community-led action can bring about change, one bank job at a time.
