Capitalism: A Love Story,
is a 2009
documentary film
directed by Michael
Moore. The film
centers on the
financial crisis of
2007–2009 and the
recovery stimulus,
while putting
forward an
indictment of the
current economic
order in the United
States and
capitalism in
general. Topics
covered include
everything from Wall
Street's "casino
mentality",
for-profit prisons,
Goldman Sachs'
influence in
Washington, DC, the
poverty-level of
many airline pilots,
the large wave of
home foreclosures,
and the consequences
of "runaway greed."
The film will be
widely released to
the public in the
United States on
October 2, 2009.
The
film alternates
between a fierce
critique of the
status quo, personal
portraits of the
suffering caused by
the recent economic
crisis, and comical
social satire. Some
featured stories
include an internal
Citibank report
happily declaring
the United States a
"plutonomy"
(plutocracy), with
the top 1 percent of
the population
controlling more
financial wealth
than the bottom 95
percent, along with
an expose of "dead
peasant insurance"
policies that have
companies cashing in
on the untimely
deaths of their
employees.
Additionally, the
film contrasts the
present economic
reality in America
with archival
footage of US
president Franklin
D. Roosevelt calling
for a Second Bill of
Rights that would
guarantee all
Americans "a useful
job, a decent home,
adequate health
care, and a good
education." |
