Just yesterday I played Gordon Gekko's 'Greed is Good' speech (below) from the 1987 movie Wall Street in my principles of microeconomics class to illustrate the thinking behind market efficiency.*
Today, this:
Wall Street's all the rage again -- literally. And Oliver Stone and Michael Douglas have decided they have more to say about it.
Stone has just closed a deal with Fox to direct the follow-up to "Wall Street," now tentatively called "Wall Street 2," with Douglas starring. This would provide an unusual amount of continuity since Stone directed and co-wrote, with Stanley Weiser, the original 1987 exploration of the inner workings of the finance sector and its complicated relationship with greed.
*I contrasted that with this clip on the perils of capitalism from the play Marx.
