Noam Chomsky, filmed over four years, lays out what he calls the ten principles of wealth concentration, tracing how economic and political power in the United States has consolidated in fewer hands since the 1970s. The film moves through Reagan-era deregulation, the assault on organized labor, the deliberate use of debt to keep workers compliant, and the way money in politics rewrites the rules of elections to favor those who already have capital. Archival news footage and simple graphics illustrate points about tax policy, financial deregulation, and the shrinking of the public sphere, while Chomsky connects each mechanism to the next, building an argument rather than a highlight reel. He returns repeatedly to a warning from the country's founders about concentrated power undermining democracy, framing the present moment as the outcome of policy choices rather than inevitability. The interviews are plainly shot, mostly Chomsky in conversation, letting his own words and examples, from Citicorp's lobbying to the 2008 crash, carry the case.
