The Flaw (2011)

In the aftermath of the most devastating financial upheaval since the infamous Wall Street Crash of 1929, people globally grapple with its reverberations. The Flaw navigates through the intricate labyrinth of 20th-century American capitalism, probing its origins and impacts, coated with a dose of biting wit and intellectual rigor. The film presents a gallery of contrasting personas, from the distressed homeowners and the Wall Street banker who feels the sting of loss in his meticulously kept spreadsheets, to Nobel laureates in economics and the New York Times financial correspondent teetering on the edge of foreclosure. The Flaw weaves an argument asserting that the crisis's seeds were sown in the evolving dynamics between America's affluent and the remainder of society. This compelling exploration is designed to leave audiences contemplating the true causes of the crisis, far beyond its apparent aftermath.

The Flaw is a documentary movie featuring Robert Shiller and directed by David Sington.
