First there was the book, now there is the “documentary” film version of French economist Thomas Piketty’s Capitalism in the Twenty-First Century — French capitalism.
The book was marketed by the left as the correct line on growing inequality under capitalism and sold well as such, but it was in fact a description of the liberalisation of the previously heavily controlled French economy, made to look like universal principle.
This film goes a step even further and simplifies it into a universal description of human economic development.
