The Business of America
Description
Using Pittsburgh's steel industry as a case study, this bold documentary explores supply side economics and the trickle down myth, challenging the assumption that private corporations can be trusted to make the investments upon which all Americans depend. Called "impressive" by John Kenneth Galbraith, the film contrasts two Pittsburgh steelworkers' conventional faith in private enterprise with the actual strategies and priorities of U.S. Steel. Interviews with U.S. Steel chairman David Roderick and travels to Wall Street and Harvard Business School round out the program.
