Age of Easy Money

The Federal Reserve winds down its unprecedented monetary experiment born from the ashes of the Great Recession. This documentary traces how over a decade of easy money and near-zero interest rates reshaped the very fabric of the American economy, from Wall Street trading floors to Main Street households. It investigates the accumulated imbalances, the asset bubbles inflated by cheap capital, and the precarious new reality facing a nation as this defining era concludes. Through interviews with leading economists, analysts, and financial journalists, the film grapples with the profound consequences of this historic pivot for businesses, job markets, and the financial security of millions.
