Mark Kermode reviews The Emperor's New Clothes
Mark Kermode reviews The Emperor’s New Clothes. A polemical documentary about the financial crisis and gross inequality we currently face. Starting with the genesis of today's economic policies, with the arrival of Milton Friedman's school of thought in Reagan's leadership and Thatcher's UK, the film explores how these policies have come to dominate the western world. The rich have got richer; where a CEO of a major British company used to earn 10 times the average wage of his workers, now they earn 200 times. According to Oxfam, the richest 80 people in the world own as much as the poorest 3.5 billion. It would now take 300 years for the average cleaner, cleaning the offices of his senior boss, to earn the same salary taken home by the same boss last year.
