PREVIEW SCREENING

 

“I think it’s pretty brilliant…anyone who has ever taken an Econ class should see it.”
-L. Randall Wray, author Modern Money Theory

“A well organized and devastating indictment (of orthodox economics).”
-Richard McIntyre, author Are Workers’ Rights Human Rights?

“Mary Filippo problematizes the concepts of efficiency, profits, and capital in crystal clear ways to her audience….The movie is a must for those exploring neoclassical fundamentals and especially for those that don’t want their economic concerns dismissed by models of economic fantasy.”
-David M. Brennan, Professor, Franklin and Marshall College

(If you’ve taken an economics course) you should watch this movie. And if you teach economics, you should share this film with your students.
-Tim Koechlin, Economist, International Studies and Urban Studies at Vassar College

This is a must-see, eye-opener film if you plan to study Economics or any related discipline. Mary Filippo did a fantastic job in exposing toy models that simply do not capture reality and are still taught in universities all over the world.
Bernardo Pagnoncelli, Professor of Operations Research and Data Science
SKEMA Business School, Lille France

The absolute intellectual bankruptcy of mainstream economics is so clearly exposed that it should make its practitioners feel embarrassed of promoting such nonsense in the name of science.
Alan Cibils, economist and chair of the Political Economy Department
at the Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento in Buenos Aires
 
I use the film in a First Year Writing course assignment focused on ‘Narratives in and about Education.’ The film is an example of a specific narrative in education that helps students think critically about university departments and disciplines….my students are engaging with and responding to the film even more than I expected.
Brandon Benevento, English Department, University of Connecticut, Storrs
