I won´t discuss Chomsky's abbility to explain and teorize, adding examples and references and 'historicizing' at the same time. It's a pitty, directors don't pause to resume or contrast. They just count 10 principles.

REQUIEM FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM is the definitive discourse with Noam Chomsky, on the defining characteristic of our time - the deliberate concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select few. Through interviews filmed over four years, Chomsky unpacks the principles that have brought us to the crossroads of historically unprecedented inequality - tracing a half century of policies designed to favor the most wealthy at the expense of the majority.
