Extraits

[...] MOORE tries to explain and bring out the root causes of the global economic crisis of 2008 (two thousand height).

Then during this feature film MOORE draws parallels with several economists particularly Adam SMITH, Karl MARX and John Maynard KEYNES. Indeed when he says, "Capitalism allows you to get away from anything" he quotes SMITH because according to his theory, the state doesn't intervene in the economy of the country. [...]
