A very straightforward, direct and accessible look into Thomas Piketty’s work, this documentary offers an important understanding of our present day society and its economic, social and political structure, inside the context of the historical development of capitalism (from its transition from feudalism, up to the latest technological revolution).
Presented with historical facts and data about the development of capitalism, throughout its highs and lows, we are offered a view of how the system’s crisis led to several of modernity’s biggest problems such as two major world wars and two major economic crashes, aswell as a deep inequality.
Through most of the time, both the director and its experts avoid the use of adjectives; attaining themselves to scientific, economical, social and historical analysis. And by doing that, they allow the viewer, by the end of the movie, to employ the use of adjectives to remark the current state of our society as an obscene, imoral and terrible disparity between the owners of capital and the working masses.
I do believe this is the most urgent and important issue of our times - the obscene accumulation of capital and its nasty effects in all aspects of present life; from environmental doom up to racism, xenophobia and hate speech. This documentary is far more important than it is given credit and should, definetly, be out there as one of the most important pieces of non-fiction today.
