Robert Kuttner, author of Obama’s Challenge: America’s Economic Crisis and the Power of a Transformative Presidency, is one of the commentators interviewed in The Heist, a new documentary examining the causes of the financial crisis.

Weak government oversight caused by an unshakeable faith in the free market to correct itself, along with greed and outright deception, caused this crash. Is there a way out?

This 15-minute trailer gets into some of the reasons for the economic crisis, drawing eerie parallels between the economic climate today and that of the Great Depression.
