Excellent Movie!!, 30 March 2002
10/10
Author: LaTanya Johnson from California, USA

I am actually waiting for this movie to become available on VHS. It would tie in perfectly with what I teach in my political economy class.

The movie clearly explains how rich countries can dominate poorer ones. It also causes one to re-think capitalism, competition and the "invisible hand."
