Who Built American Power? | Wealth, Inequality and the Origins of the 1% America was founded in the name of liberty and independence. But from the very beginning, who actually held the economic and political power? This Moconomy documentary traces the roots of wealth and inequality in the United States, from the American Revolution and the merchant elites of colonial Boston to Shays’ Rebellion, debt, banking and the long struggle between those who control resources and those demanding a greater share of economic power. Historians and political thinkers examine how revolutionary ideas about freedom existed alongside slavery, concentrated land ownership and economic privilege — and how movements challenging inequality have repeatedly emerged throughout American history. From the original Boston Tea Party and early battles over debt to Occupy Wall Street and modern campaign finance, the documentary asks whether today’s divide between the 1% and the rest of society is really new — or part of a much older American story.

Fei-Fei Li: The Godmother of AI and the Race to Build World Models Fei-Fei Li helped teach machines how to see. Now, the scientist behind ImageNet is betting that the next revolution in artificial intelligence will be about teaching machines how to understand the physical world. This Moconomy documentary follows Li from her early work in computer vision to the creation of World Labs, where she is developing world models capable of generating, simulating and navigating realistic 3D environments. The goal goes far beyond chatbots: AI that can understand space, predict what happens next and eventually help robots interact with the real world. As billions flow into this new frontier, the film explores the race toward spatial intelligence, the future of robotics and Li’s belief that AI should expand human capability rather than replace it. If language models taught machines to talk, could world models finally teach them how to act? Want to explore more of the people and technologies driving the AI revolution?

The AI Memory Boom | Why DRAM Prices Are Surging For years, DRAM was one of the quieter corners of the semiconductor industry — a highly commoditized market where capacity expanded steadily and prices generally trended lower. Artificial intelligence has changed that equation. In this episode, SemiAnalysis analyst Ray Wang explains why AI systems consume enormous amounts of memory and how surging demand is reshaping the global DRAM market. As memory costs rise, manufacturers and consumer-facing companies are being forced to rethink production, pricing and supply. The conversation explores how major producers are responding to the boom, when the market could finally rebalance, and whether Chinese memory manufacturers can close the gap with dominant Korean players such as Samsung and SK Hynix. What looks like a shortage of computer memory may actually reveal something much bigger: AI is beginning to reshape the economics of the entire semiconductor supply chain.

Private equity firms have become some of the most powerful forces in the global economy. This documentary examines how leveraged buyouts, sale-leasebacks, dividend recapitalizations and carried interest have reshaped companies, workers, hospitals, nursing homes, newspapers and communities. From Toys “R” Us and Red Lobster to Steward Health Care and the collapse of local journalism, the story reveals a financial model built on debt, extraction and limited accountability. Synopsis In 2005, Toys “R” Us was still a profitable company with billions in revenue. But after a private equity buyout loaded it with debt, the company was left with little room to invest, adapt or survive. Its collapse became a case study in a much larger financial playbook. This documentary follows that playbook across the American economy: from retail bankruptcies and restaurant chains to nursing homes, hospitals and local newspapers. It explains how leveraged buyouts transfer risk onto the companies being acquired, how sale-leasebacks turn businesses into tenants of their own buildings, how dividend recapitalizations extract cash through new debt, and how carried interest rewards fund managers with favorable tax treatment.
