While history is generally conceived of as a roster of monarchs and military figures, this provocative film presents an alternate narrative, one that is distinctly American. Some Call It Greed tells the story of America as an industrial capitalist state, focusing on the deeds of the "robber barons" and their descendants -- men who have had a greater influence on who and where Americans are today than any politicians or statesmen who followed in their trail. Part litany of unbridled exploitation, part litany of social examination, Some Call It Greed is a colorful and poignant look at an era when the pursuit of wealth went unchecked and unchallenged.
