The film maker should watch his own movie
23 April 2011
The government did not respond quickly enough in LA, and creates subsidies and tariffs where none are needed - but let's give them more money?

The film maker interviews inheritors of wealth and not wealth creators and the guilt of his own inheritance is the only concrete/coherent idea in the film.

Milton Friedman asks the film maker what he has read of Milton's; the interviewer/film maker states - "the required excerpts in school"...

The filmmaker misses what may be his true goal: an understanding of why wealth creation is and should be encouraged and why disparity in wealth is a function of many economic systems - but capitalism/free markets is the only to raise the standard of living for all even with the large gaps between rich and poor.

Unfortunately - like his first film - this film comes across as an apology for inheriting wealth and the inheritor having no purpose. At least this dude made a film - but he should have heeded the family advisor's advice to "read, research, do your homework"... He did not.
