Review of Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) by Barnaby G — 03 May 2010

Another brilliant documentary by the scourge of corporate America. I can never understand why some Americans dislike the guy. His basic principles are justice for all and does a great job at exposing the greed which perniciously erodes the morality of the World's largest Super Power.

The amount of house foreclosures happening in America should shock every US citizen to the core, and people should be out on the streets protesting at the shameful and criminal treatment of the under-privileged, thanks to unbridled capitalism.

And why do Americans still have such a negative view of socialism? Are the seeds of McCartyhism still present in their psyche? The disparity of wealth between the rich and poor in America is utterly disgusting and for those who still believe that if they work hard they, too, can get to the top of the pile, how about checking out statistics for social mobility and you'll see it just isn't going to happen.

As George Carlin once said, the reason it is called the American Dream is that you have to be asleep to believe it. A great expose documentary and one that everyone should watch.
