Summary:

From Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan, Moore will once again go into uncharted territory. With both humor and outrage this explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Years ago, that love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream is looking more like a nightmare as families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Visit the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; go looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal - not to mention the 14,000 jobs being lost every day. A look into what a more hopeful future could look like.
