ABOUT FINDING THE MONEY:
An underdog group of economists is on a mission to instigate a paradigm shift by flipping our understanding of the national debt — and the nature of money — upside down.
FINDING THE MONEY follows former chief economist to Senator Bernie Sanders, Stephanie Kelton, on a journey to unveil a deeper story about money, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality.
