4/5
This is a film perhaps better suited to DVD, simply because there are thoughts here of such profundity you might feel the need to reach for the rewind button. I, for one, have been left substantially enlightened. Go to Full Review

Harry G Nov 15, 2017 One the best documentaries I've seen. Every human being in this planet needs to see this.
Ron M Aug 29, 2017 Both Chomsky and Stiglitz praised Hugo Chavez's policies in Venezuela. How many times does socialism have to fail before documentary makers find something else to talk about? See more
Aug 15, 2017 We need more documentaries like this one, questioning the neo-economical western ideals and criticising the currently relevant problems of a voracious globalized planet. The documentary overall has some interestingly relevant criticisms of western culture that has for some reason been set as the standard of living throughout the world in pos-modernist society. Don't take my word for it, please watch the full documentary and form an opinion yourself don't base it on reviews from a website that its ultimate purpose is for moviegoers or movie-watchers to become less adventurous.

George R Feb 16, 2017 Overall, well done. Some detail points are disputable - for example, the documentary-makers appear to place the blame for the 2008 housing crisis on Reagen and Thatcher and "deregulation", with no mention of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - an entirely Democrat created double-headed monster. Nonetheless, with its fairly thorough analysis and emphasis the problems of fiat currency, income inequality, bloated world bureaucracies and debt - along with some possible solutions, it is well worth watching. Better to be reviewed, as there is a wealth of material to consider. See more
Finn P Jan 8, 2017 It's on the line of conspiracy film and informational. It was well made and the sources are credible.
