Summary
Phil recommends three documentaries for understanding the financial system in cycle context: “The Spider’s Web: Britain’s Second Empire” (UK transformation from colonial to global finance power), “Princes of the Yen” (Prof. Richard Werner’s Japan central banking analysis), and Netflix’s “Dirty Money” (episodes on Trump’s real estate business, HSBC, and Valeant).
