The problem with this movie is that M. Moore isn’t a thinker, he’s a clown. When he’s throwing pies at easy targets, like Bush or NRA members, his like-”minded” acolytes show up to howl and nod. When he decides he’s qualified to expound on economics, they don’t. And just as well, since his brilliant ideas include “replacing capitalism with democracy.” Does he even know the difference between a financial system and an electoral structure? That’s like suggesting replacing wood screws with donuts, which he’d probably also be in favor of. This is that rare movie that can make stupid people even stupider, just by virtue of watching it (not rare for Moore, of course, all his films do that).

To quote A. Whitney Brown on the fall of the USSR: “Whoever would’ve thought that the fatal flaw of communism is that there just isn’t any money in it?”

Nice try though.
