An exploration of supply side economics and the trickle down myth as exemplified by Pittsburgh's declining steel industry.
THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA... is the first film to probe one of our most treasured economic assumptions: that private corporations can be trusted to make the investments upon which all Americans depend.
The film contrasts two Pittsburgh steelworkers conventional faith in private enterprise with the actual strategies and priorities of a giant corporation, U.S. Steel. It traces their growing realization that despite "supply side" business claims, increased profits don't necessarily "trickle down" to working Americans. (Originally aired in 1984).
