john D. Rockefeller and his only son, John Rockefeller JR., new york, 1910
180 minutes (3x60 minutes)
In a breathtaking narrative from 1870 to the present day, "The gospel of wealth - A story of capitalism" shows how a small elite has always justified its hyper-richness in America. From the powerful philanthropic alibi to the ever-renewed promise of trickle-down effect, from the myth of the self-made man to the heroic figure of the Silicon Valley visionary genius, this documentary reveals a grand capitalist story that is both unchanging and unalterable, and today allows 722 billionaires and 22 million American millionaires to grow their fortunes without limit and in complete secrecy.
Three parts:
1) The millionaires' paradise
2) Soak the rich
3) Who wants to be a billionaire?
