Great film, good background for those in need, leaves me shivering for my off-spring.

(41,168 posts)1. A masterful, comprehensive look at the times we face. Watched it several times.
In the film the frequent use of neoclassical economics was initially puzzling and I thought it the Anglo-Australian term for neoliberal ideology advanced by the US and responsible for many problems in the last 40 years. Perhaps not. Need a refresher on economic systems.
The film would be useful to post in the Bernie Sanders Group here as well.

which of course is a right-wing trope, and most economists dismiss.
