The Architects of Money: The Federal Reserve & The European Central Bank - Who decides the price of money—and what happens when those decisions reshape the lives of millions?
This documentary explores the hidden power of the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, from the end of the gold standard and the 2008 financial crisis to quantitative easing, the eurozone debt crisis, pandemic stimulus and the return of inflation.
Discover how central banks influence mortgages, savings, employment, government debt and financial markets—and why their most important decisions remain largely beyond direct democratic control.
The Architects of Money: The Federal Reserve & The European Central Bank (2026)
Director: Moconomy
Writers: Paula Miralles
Genre: Documentary
Language: English
Synopsis:
Money is no longer defined primarily by the cash we hold. Most of it exists as digital entries supported by trust in the institutions that create, manage and protect it.
**The Architects of Money** examines two of the most powerful institutions in the global economy: the United States Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Together, their decisions influence interest rates, mortgages, savings, employment, government borrowing and the stability of financial markets across the United States and Europe.
From the Nixon shock of 1971 and the creation of the euro to the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Greek debt crisis, Mario Draghi’s historic “whatever it takes” declaration and the unprecedented monetary response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the documentary reveals how central banks repeatedly prevented economic collapse—while also contributing to asset inflation, housing unaffordability and widening wealth inequality.
Through the contrasting leadership of Jerome Powell, Mario Draghi and Christine Lagarde, the film raises a fundamental question: when unelected institutions possess the power to create money, rescue markets and reshape entire economies, who are they ultimately accountable to?
