ENCIRCLEMENT – NEO-LIBERALISM ENSNARES DEMOCRACY (L’ENCERCLEMENT – LA DÉMOCRATIE DANS LES RETS DU NÉOLIBÉRALISME) - 2008 - Canada - Doc
director: Richard Brouillette
- Sinopse
- Drawing upon the thinking and analyses of renowned intellectuals, this documentary sketches a portrait of neo-liberal ideology and examines its various mechanisms, like deregulation, reducing the role of the State, privatization, limiting inflation rather than unemployment etc. The doctrine begins with the founding in 1947 of the Mont Pèlerin Society, neo-liberal think tanks financed by multinational companies. Since the end of the Cold War, the rate of neo-liberal reforms has increased. In its interviews, the film seeks answer for the question: behind the ideological smokescreen and the interests in a free market, beyond the "invisible hand," what is really going on?
