With this documentary too, I would like to give you a gift which, I hope, will enlighten you on the lie that characterizes today's society and its golden calf, capitalism, based entirely on the lies of a man named Adam Smith who disguised reality.
This last fact is confirmed by anthropologists, who confirm that humanity basically used the principle of “reciprocity” (at 16mn).
And not even barter. Capitalism is therefore based on the deductions of a single man which serves as a scientific alibi for all modern economics.
And has nothing to do with history or empirical reality (which should have been our natural evolution).
You will therefore see explained in detail the deadly chain and the rise of the latter through the centuries and the birth of the United States.
Disregarding all humanity, and motivated solely by profit (which may enlighten you on the models of Pierre Gattaz).
All I can wish you is to watch this 6-part documentary, offered by the Arte channel, a section of which will be shown each week.
I think this is the right time to remind you that:
"A generalized globalization of exchanges between countries characterized by very different levels of wages at exchange rates can only ultimately lead everywhere, in developed countries as in underdeveloped countries, to unemployment, reduced growth, inequalities, miseries of all kinds. It is neither avoidable, nor necessary, nor desirable. »

Considered obvious today, capitalism has in fact not always existed... This masterful documentary series, filmed in twenty-two countries, offers keys to understanding the capitalist system. This first part goes back to Adam Smith, Scottish philosopher of the XVIIIe century, considered the "father of capitalism".
His book, "The Wealth of Nations", a badly read bestseller for more than two centuries, would have laid the foundations of the free market, on the eve of the industrial revolution. However, if Adam Smith, Scottish philosopher of the XVIIIe century, considered as the "father of capitalism", believed in the natural laws of the economy and in the inclination of men to trade, capitalism does not result from a concept, but from a historical process, initiated with the discovery of America, colonization and triangular trade. A New World where the Aztecs did not attach any material value to gold. Considered as obvious today, capitalism has in fact not always existed...
Yesterday's theories, today's realities
Like the following, the first two episodes of the masterful Capitalism series, shot in twenty-two countries, take us on a captivating investigation over five hundred years of history, with enlightening guides from anthropologists, historians and economists. renowned, including Robert Boyer or Thomas Piketty. In the footsteps of a Chinese admiral, from the jails of slaves in Ghana to the encounter with the Maijuna Indians, and from one shore to the other of the Atlantic, the theories of yesterday establish a fruitful dialogue with the news and contemporary realities. From the origins to globalization, the series deciphers the mechanisms of a system that determines our lives and survives despite the crisis.
