Note the backgrounds of many of the interviewees. Disproportionately from SF Bay Area or MIT. Takes a Right-wing / conservative view. Several from the Hoover Institute. Several from Stanford, noted for its conservative politics. One from Alphabet, parent of Google--noted for favoring Trump. One from Texas A & M, which has a strong military orientation. Notice that the disparaging of social welfare programs done by EMPLOYED white people. Did you notice any reps. from agencies serving those with various disabilities or needing English-language support? BIASED--by those who HAVE.

This film is all doomsday and government Intervention but says nothing about the failed education of new generations on how to save money and how to live within their means. It is a very leftist view.of society.

Was hopeful when I started watching. I love documentaries but this is far more biased than a documentary should be. What the one reviewer sees as socialist was a section on social safety net and some ideas being forwarded in the present. As the program continues the positions of the conservative Hoover Institute ( Stanford University institution out of step with the University itself are presented as factual when they are often the discredited positions of the past. What is cited as ideal seems focused on the old clap trap of merit pay for teachers, only states that have bought into their view of a good program. ( Stanford has an incredibly highly rated education department. Interestingly none of those Stanford profs are interviewed nor were their views presented. )

Typical of the Hoover Institute this documentary presents a rosy historically inaccurate presentation of equality at the time of the founding fathers, and of a very corrupt patent office. It was quite sad to be honest with you. I'm proud of American Inventiveness but our history is filled with the little guy needing to fight for their inventions...Ford vs ALAM, Tesla v Morgan, etc. This documentary fails on so many fronts.
