What Saving Capitalism Is About

Sari Gilman's 2017 documentary follows the former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich as he talks with people across the country. Reich's argument is that what has broken is not capitalism itself but the rules governing it: the terms of a market depend on who writes them, and over the last forty years those terms have shifted in favour of large corporations and the wealthiest. The film presents that not as an abstract debate but through the daily lives of people from different political positions, and Reich talks with those who disagree with him, turning up unexpected common ground on inequality. The register is instructive and it rests on his own book. The room given to opposing views is limited. Who it's for: viewers who follow documentaries on the American economy and politics. Who it's not for: anyone expecting a balanced debate; the film is openly an argument.
