Master of the Universe

Streaming video - 2013

For the very first time a true international finance insider tells all about the global banking system. In this award-winning film, Rainer Voss, once one of Germany’s leading investment bankers who personally oversaw billions of dollars, reveals how the glittering financial world actually operates, from its dark, seemingly amoral abysses to its semi-religious rules. Did the global financial crisis change anything? Voss’s forecast is disquieting… Voss depicts the limitless financial opportunity, the greed and irresponsibility that fueled it, and the world-shaking consequences that resulted, bringing ruin to both the former "masters of the universe" themselves and ordinary people across the globe. Frightening and fascinating, ...MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE offers a penetrating glimpse behind the curtain of high finance, revealing the psychology, the mechanics, and the sobering reality of a world that deeply affects all of us but that few of us fully understand.
