Capital in the 21st century (Netflix)

So another Netflix recommendation hat ended up pissing me off again.  Capital shows you some of the origins of the wealth gaps and the those who have power and inherits power and wealth.  Also sadly.  How the majority of people will never achieve this level of wealth.  Here's the summary.

Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty (which sold over three million copies worldwide and landed Piketty on Time's list of most influential people), this captivating documentary is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power, a film that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress, and shines a new light on today's growing inequalities.

So I sat down and decided to grin and bear this crazy so called king of the tigers.  Boy was I blown away.  It actually was so huge I wanted more.  Here's my take on this Netflix documentary of Joe Exotic, the Tiger King.
