(2026, 60 minutes)

An irreverent look at how capitalism is presented by mainstream economists: labor is conceived as if made for the market, capitalist businesses compete and therefore make no profits, the distribution of income and wealth is presented as based on productivity–there is no unearned income, no exploitation, no extraction… “The Utopian Theory of Capitalism” is a darkly humorous political documentary, a visually lively and fast-paced and ironic educational film that exposes mainstream economists’ self-deceptive arguments for the supposed fairness of the economic distribution and efficiency of capitalist production.
