Some new movies about to hit the cinema that may be of interest to budding economists:
I want your money
Set against the backdrop of America’s growing disproval of current economic policies, “I Want Your Money” takes a provocative look at our nation’s deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama. The film exposes the shocking reality of a bloated government while offering alternatives to help steer the United States back towards firm fiscal ground. By utilizing interviews with key leaders of America’s conservative movement - Newt Gingrich, Steve Forbes, Mike Huckabee - movie clips, dramatic portrayals, music, graphics and even comedic animation, “I Want Your Money” tells the story in the plainest terms of the choice between ‘Reganomics’ and ‘Obamanomics’
Inside job
Producer/director Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight) speaks at length with journalists, politicians, and financial insiders in order to offer a clearer picture of the economic meltdown that hit America starting in 2008. Academy Award winner Matt Damon narrates this unflinching look at the deep-rooted corruption that has left millions of middle-class Americans jobless and homeless as the major corporations get bailed out while paying millions in bonuses.
Gerrymandering
Filmmaker Jeff Reichert examines how politicians manipulate the outcome of elections by redrawing voting districts.
