  1. Ok but first (minute 05:17) we are told that capitalism is a system that works "without anyone needing to have an overview" and this is why it is "pure genius", then we are offered multiple demonstrations that extensive overview and supervision by governments, including drastic economic intervention (such as imposing a price on carbon), is absolutely required to make it work. Is this not a contradiction? Perhaps we would better accept from the start that invisible hands are not to be trusted for the achievement and maintenance of the common good.
