Even as some of the world's biggest investment banks were falling like dominos, and the world headed into financial crisis, traders were plunging into a feeding frenzy of new speculation. Meanwhile, businesspeople everywhere have been feeling the credit crunch. Even national governments are struggling with insolvency. The search for solutions has led to talk of an unconditional “basic income” or of taking the Islamic financial system as a model. This documentary looks beyond the never-ending debates on regulating banks, stifling bonuses or simplifying financial products and derivatives. It examines unconventional ideas and models for crisis prevention as practiced in Cuba, Dubai and Chiemgau, Bavaria.
