Hilarious Pro Capitalism BS from Old School Professor - Fun
38 views since 2008-08-20
This is an incredible vintage film that features a Harding College economics professor arguing that capitalism doesn't produce a class divided society - in fact, wealth is equitably distributed! This firmly anti-Communist video uses charts, animation, and powerful rhetoric to hammer down its points in favor of capitalism. There are many antiquated statements that simply could not be made today; for instance, profit motive is "wholesome and good...wholly compatible with God's law." This Christianizing of capitalism was a hallmark of 1950's conservative politics. This film is an enriching viewing experience as a historical document and intellectually relevant to today's economic conversations as well.
