As a follow-up to my last post on Capitalism and Fascism, I thought I would post an interview with filmmaker Michael Moore on his new film Capitalism: A Love Story.
Moore has spent his entire career questioning the rationale behind decisions made by U.S politicians and their partners in ‘big business’. His latest film investigates the forces behind millions of Americans losing their homes, jobs and savings while CEO’s get million dollar bonuses and huge corporations are bailed out by the government. A particular poignant scene shows the chairman of Goldman Sachs whispering into the ear of former President Ronald Regan ordering him to “hurry up” and finish his speech, and vividly demonstrating just how much influence corporations have on U.S government policy.
What is the price that America - and the rest of the world – has to pay to continue its love of capitalism?
