If that is the case, what will happen next? The extreme Challenge of Capitalism, filmed in the United States, Brazil, China, Germany and the United Kingdom, interviews some economic growth advocates to discuss the concept of endless growth. These include Brazilian soybean tycoons, automated calculus traders, financial journalists and multinational executives. Through the shooting mode of one mirror to the end, the interviewees exposed inconsistent or inconsistent arguments. ("the extreme Challenge of Capitalism" also gives a brief interview with financial expert Anthony Scaramucci (Anthony Scaramucci), a former Trump White House communications director; he calls himself a "capitalist artist" and makes incredible arguments about the limits of growth. ) The film is divided into several chapters on topics such as the immorality of GDP, harmful agriculture, financialization, the decoupling of finance from the real world economy, and automation. Each chapter begins with references to Karl Karl Marx and covers the eloquent insights of Tim Jackson, an ecological economist and advocate of sustainable development.
