In the film the frequent use of neoclassical economics was initially puzzling and I thought it the Anglo-Australian term for neoliberal ideology advanced by the US and responsible for many problems in the last 40 years. Perhaps not. Need a refresher on economic systems.

The film would be useful to post in the Bernie Sanders Group here as well.
