A Look at Capitalism (1955)

★★★★★ · Corny (bad acting) but true! · Yosemite1967 · 2003-09-22

Uses the sword of truth (i.e. those darn, inconvenient facts) to cut communism to the quick, apparently striking some nerves--like those of some reviewers who enjoy spouting Stalin-speak. (Funny how blood-thirsty murderers of millions can be considered heros by some.) As with most serious productions of its day, it's corniness distracts somewhat from the information being presented, but all I can say is, "At least it's true!"

Many students today have some degree of difficulty in grasping the nuances of economics and its relation to daily life. This video, produced by my friends at Fotovox and featuring a number of my lovely young students, provides a clear definition of Capitalism. We explore capitalism's success, as well as its moral correctness, and I "show off" a bit of sculpting skill as well! From Arkansas to your classroom, it's "A Look At Capitalism"!

Not as overly demented as "America's Distrubution Of Wealth". This film still has our favorite young historian, Albert Camus Jr. Spilling the beans about the pillars of what makes the US economy so great. He also makes a cute little clay animal which helps him in his lecture. lol.
