Art hacks life when two filmmakers manage to cancel more than GBP1m of high-interest debt from their local community.

The art avengers...took on toxic debt culture – and won the Guardian

These artists want to blow up the whole financial system The New York Times

Meet the Bonnie and Clyde of bad debt!

When art meets finance, ''The Big Bang'' takes on a whole new meaning. This is brilliant performative protest. Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics

Bank Job is a white-knuckle ride into the dark heart of the global financial system. Artist and filmmaker duo Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn discover that behind the opaque language of loans and the defunct diagrams of money and debt is a system flawed by design and ripe for hacking. They assemble a team and bring a community together by printing their own money in a disused bank in East London, in order to buy up and abolish local debt. Part daring tale, part personal memoir and part economic education, this book is perfect for fans of Grace Blakely and David Graeber. Bank Job shows how the financial system can be changed to meet the needs of the many, not just the few one bank job at a time.
