About The Dragon’s Gambit | China, Power and the New Global Order

The Dragon’s Gambit | China, Power and the New Global Order China is reshaping its economic relationship with Europe and Latin America—not only through factories, batteries, electric vehicles and investment, but through a long-term strategy designed to embed its industrial capacity at the heart of other economies. This episode explores the invisible logic connecting ports, lithium mines, assembly plants, contracts and global supply chains. Because the real question is not simply who builds a factory, but what system begins to operate once that factory becomes connected to the rest of the world. When does an investment stop being an isolated opportunity and become part of a much larger economic structure? And are we still in time to decide the rules of the game? The audiovisual version combines real footage, archival material, stock footage and AI-generated visualizations to represent concepts such as economic interdependence, strategic planning and industrial power.

American Dream | More Productivity, Less Security | 4K

American Dream - An original Moconomy video, with Daniel speaking, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping jobs, housing, and the future of the American Dream. American Dream (2026) Synopsis: Artificial intelligence promises to boost productivity and transform the economy, but it is also creating a new wave of job insecurity. In this original Moconomy video, Daniel breaks down how the fear of automation is already affecting the way millions of Americans think about work, income, and the possibility of owning a home. From AI-driven layoffs and automated customer service to the growing risk for entry-level workers, administrative roles, legal research, and software jobs, the video connects the rise of AI to a much more personal question: how do you build a stable life when you are no longer sure your job will exist in the years ahead? More than a story about machines replacing people, this is a look at the real impact of AI on a generation already facing stagnant wages, unaffordable housing, and an American Dream that keeps moving further out of reach.

The Private Equity Playbook | How Private Equity Bought Everyday Life | Moconomy Originals

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.

Inside Anthropic: The $965 Billion AI Titan | Claude, AI Safety and the New Power RaceAnthropic went from an underdog AI lab founded by former OpenAI insiders to one of the most powerful companies in artificial intelligence. Behind its rise are Dario and Daniela Amodei, Claude, a booming enterprise business — and a mission to build increasingly capable AI without losing control of its risks. This Moconomy documentary goes inside Anthropic to explore Claude Code, the future of white-collar work, AI cybersecurity, military applications and the growing tension between innovation, safety and political power. As AI advances at extraordinary speed, one question sits at the center of Anthropic’s story: can you race to build the future while still being responsible for what that future becomes? Want to go deeper into the people, risks and power behind the AI revolution?

Inside the Mind of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei | AI, Power and the Exponential What does it feel like to lead an AI company while the technology itself appears to be accelerating exponentially? In this wide-ranging conversation, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses the rise of Claude, his departure from OpenAI, Anthropic’s battle to preserve its values while becoming one of the world’s leading AI companies, and the extraordinary economic and political consequences of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence. From coding and scientific discovery to job disruption, cybersecurity and AI-assisted warfare, Amodei confronts some of the hardest questions surrounding the technology his company is helping to build. Can AI deliver a century of scientific progress while avoiding mass unemployment? Should private companies control systems powerful enough to influence national security? And what limits should exist when AI moves from the workplace to the battlefield? At the center of it all is Amodei’s idea of the “smooth exponential” — a technological acceleration that he believes should neither be ignored nor met with panic, but managed with increasingly strong safeguards as AI becomes more
