Capitalism 101: Must-See Documentaries
2009 October 23
The Corporation (Mark Achbar & Jennifer Abbott, 2003) – an eye-opening look at the global effects of corporate actions.
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Alex Gibney, 2005) – American capitalism at its best. An inspiring story, but they got caught, so I guess they were just not smart enough.
Sicko (Michael Moore, 2007). The joys of America’s Health-Care system.
Bonus: a Wall-Street special -
American Psycho (Mary Harron, 2000) – Christian Bale lives the investment bankers dream.
