Capitalism: A love story

By Salaam Abdul Khaliq, IFN Columnist

Michael Moore’s new film, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” has one the best openings of any documentary in recent history. To draw a parallel between past and present, scenes from the Roman Empire are brilliantly juxtaposed with scenes from present day America.
Images of profligate and corrupt Roman senators are juxtaposed with images of corrupt American politicians. Images of the poor living in the slums are contrasted with images of the rich gorging themselves on food and indulging their senses.
