CSR at the Movies - Capitalism a Love Story

Michael Moore has long been a thorn in the side of the Amercian business & financial establishment. Capitalism - A Love Story, produced by Moore in 2009 , pulls no punches. The film centers on the financial crisis of 2007–2010 and the recovery stimulus, while putting forward an indictment of the current economic order in the United States and capitalism in general. Students will soon be able to judge where Moore is coming from based on the targets covered by the film. Topics covered include Wall Street’s “casino mentality”, for-profit prisons, Goldman Sachs’ influence in Washington, DC, the poverty-level wages of many workers, the large wave of home foreclosures, corporate-owned life insurance, and the consequences of what Moore describes as “runaway greed”. The film also features a religious component where Moore examines whether or not capitalism is a sin and if Jesus would be a capitalist!

Here is the trailer for the movie;
