Saving Capitalism

Saving Capitalism (2017) is a US documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Jacob Kornbluth and Sari Gilman, it follows former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich as he drives across the country talking to farmers, factory workers, and small-business owners about the economy they actually live in — not the one described in textbook models.

Reich's core argument is precise: free markets are not natural phenomena but rule systems, and the people writing the rules have already won. He is a forceful teacher, and the film gives him real conversations rather than talking-head segments. Unsettling, but hard to argue away. Watch Saving Capitalism online on iFILM.
