Money, money, money, money-MONEY!
I am (mostly) a fan of Michael Moore, but I was not sure I was going to like his latest docu-dramatizer and polemic, Capitalism: A Love Story.

all other forms of economic manipulation have either failed outright,
or fall short of duplicating the capitalist system's ability to sustain a
a middle class, without bankrupting the sitting government.
a middle class, without bankrupting the sitting government.

Yet Moore has laid out a cognizant, and engrossing treatise on why today's form of capitalism in inherently, unsustainable "evil."
-And although it was a Michigan priest who opined about the evil,
Moore produces enough mainstream economists and financial experts who while rarely using the
"E-word," do think our democracy has been overridden by a
star-chamber-like plutocracy, which is surely taking us peasants
to hell in an imported, off-shore, hand basket.
-
Moore essentially blames every politician from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush for tax breaks to the rich and financial deregulation as the source of our malaise-and even includes Jimmy Carter's much maligned 1979 speech warning about the worship of money over all else.
-
Carter's entire 17 minute "malaise" speech to the nation is contained in over an hour's worth of excellent bonus material in this new DVD, making the video required viewing even if you have already seen the the theatrical release.
-
A must-see; see.
