United States of America
Saving Capitalism is a documentary film based on the book of the same name by Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton. The film depicts how the economy of the United States has shifted over time, and how this has affected the lives of ordinary Americans.
Reich interviews a wide range of people from diverse backgrounds, including business leaders, middle-class families, and minimum-wage workers, to explore the impact of globalization, technology, and government policy on the economy. Through these interviews, he identifies the ways in which globalization and technology have led to increased income inequality, weakened labor unions, and reduced job security for many American workers.
Reich argues that the key to reversing these trends is to address the root causes of income inequality, such as the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few powerful individuals and corporations. He advocates for policies that support the middle class, such as raising the minimum wage and expanding access to education and healthcare.
Overall, Saving Capitalism is a compelling call to action for Americans to re-imagine the economy and to work together to create a more just and equitable society.
