I know quite a bit about how the financial system works, yet certain things are highlighted from a slightly different perspective that I had not immediately viewed. It is certainly worth the effort and this documentary takes you through different periods of high inequality. French Revolution, the world wars and the stagflation of the 1970s. The danger of inflation is now also increasing inequality and polarizing people instead of taxing the multinationals. It's all an and, and, and story in the end. There are many things that can be improved, but it is clear that we are facing major challenges.

Piketty's story in rapid succession. All the important points are mentioned, but I think the amount of information and talking heads, combined with an overload of images, is a bit too much.
It could have been better spread over a few episodes, but on the other hand that will be less attractive for some viewers.
