I Didn’t Want It To End!
A memorising journey through time following the flow of wealth across centuries to give insight into where we might be heading.

The film is based on the best-selling book of the same name by French economist Thomas Piketty, who’s research suggests we’re trending back to a world resembling 18th Century style capitalism — where a small number of mega-rich own everything and the rest of us are forced to ‘rent’ our lives; and where the middle-class shirks back to be almost as poor as the poorest. It’s a world where social mobility is low and inheritance is king.

Already today the very wealthy are able to avoid paying taxes – just like the aristocracy of the past – and many use their wealth to distort democracy for their benefit. The film is a call to rewire capitalism to produce fairer outcomes for the majority of the population. It doesn’t reject capital, but instead calls for it to be tamed.

Though this is no dry lecture… never has economics been more entertaining. Capital in the Twenty-First Century is a mash-up of pop culture through time that reflects the moods of the eras it traverses – from Jane Austin to The Simpsons – and it’s all set to a killer soundtrack!

That said, the film is also careful not to dumb down the economics. Piketty’s most famous finding, R>G (essentially that the growth rate of capital over time is consistently higher than the growth rate of the economy), is elegantly explained. As are ideas for solving tax havens and new ways to tax and control capital.

Highly recommend the film as an easy introduction to the ideas of one of the world’s preeminent economic thinkers. Of course the 700 page book goes much deeper, but this is far more fun.

Great book, trite documentary
Thomas Piketty’s ‘Capital in the 21st Century’ is a thorough, thought-provoking book about the nature of our society and economy. This documentary, based on the book, is sadly not very good, a whistle-stop tour of every flaw of capitalism associated with a giddying succession of background images. A succession of talking heads either provide brief insight into topics that would have merited a documentary in themselves, or give us a short summary of common knowledge that shows very little understanding (I do not believe that the person who comments on Adam Smith, for example, has actually read anything by Smith; someone else seems to believe Margaret Thatcher somehow broke new ground as a Prime Minister who wasn’t an aristocrat; everything gets boiled down into simplistic factoids that perfectly embody what everybody knows already but which aren’t in fact correct). It’s a shame; the book has sufficient merit that you even learn a lot from reading critiques of it by those who disagree with it; this film will teach you nothing at all.
