The film raises a question that is rarely ever asked, and yet is vitally important to our entire species. What IS the economy for? Is is to help the smallest number of people amass the largest amount of wealth? Is it for the greater good? Is it to create total balance and equity for all? Mr. Batker gets the viewers attention by sharing some very startling facts, such as the fact that the United States of America is the ONLY Western country that does not have a law guaranteeing paid vacation time.
