Your tax dollars are playing the stock market—and winning. Why aren't you?
Alex Jones interviews Walter Burien, commodity trading adviser (CTA) of 15 years about the biggest game in town. There are over 85,000 federal and regional governmental institutions: school districts, water and power authorities, county and city governments – and they own over 70 percent of the stock market.
Writing
Burien's dry delivery makes municipal finance feel like espionage.
Production
Guerrilla aesthetic that screams 'this was someone's mission.'
Director
Alex E. Jones
