Adapting one of the most groundbreaking and powerful books of our time, Capital in the 21st Century is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power, that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, shining a new light on the world around us and its growing inequalities. Traveling through time from the French Revolution and other huge global shifts, to world wars and through to the rise of new technologies today, the film assembles accessible pop-culture references coupled with interviews of some of the world's most influential experts delivering an insightful and empowering journey through the past and into our future. —Studiocanal

Quotes
Self - Professor of Economics, Columbia University: The big reforms of the Reagan and Thatcher area lowered the tax rates on the rich, on the assumption 'it would trickle down'. Didn't happen.

Where is Karl Marx?

That film just showed a little top of the big iceberg... Even did not mention "Capital" of Karl Marx.. This guy and his book could tell you much more about Capital.
