Anyone seen this movie? I haven’t, but the reviews make it sound a lot like a Michael Moore movie. I searched but couldn’t find any discussion of it here. A FB friend is advocating one of its bylines: “The seeds of the financial crisis may have been sown by Lewis F. Powell Jr., a Virginia lawyer and representative of the tobacco industry who later became an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court (Who Stole the American Dream)”. And if that isn’t enough, check out this review’s comment: “It (the movie/documentary) makes a strong case that government regulation of business is essential for democracy to flourish.”

Definitely not a Michael Moore movie as it doesn't have a main character. It interviews political and economic experts from both sides of the aisle including Paul Craig Roberts, one of the authors of Reaganomics. More info is on the website. heist-themovie . com
