Capitalism: a love story


Capitalism is really a love story, because through all the criticism it is obvious that the director aches for better America and he does not imagine that America as a socialist nation. Moore's central argument in the movie is that capitalism is bad, banks are not to be trusted and we as citizens have let the madness of the wall street go on for so long. Moore shows that everyone knows and yet most people do their best to ignore and that greed ruins people's lives. For every risky capitalist or a rich person who gets rich on wall street, there are millions of people who get poorer by the day, people who lose their homes or suddenly see their pensions evaporate.

But I don't agree with Moore in the point that capitalism is bad, because it is really a great engine of economic growth and prosperity for everyone. But when left unchecked , capitalism turns into a vicious machine that increases the gap between 99% of the population representing the middle and lower classes and the obscenely rich remaining 1%, and that what we see in the US and other developed countries actually not just the US.

  2. if the citizens cooperate together against what the government is doing with capitalism it may change a little bit . I don't have a great solution for this now but I hope I will find a proper solution for controlling the way the government is using Capitalism.
