US historical propaganda (circa 1950-something) 

"As long as we keep the foundation of our business system strong, we shall be able to maintain and improve the way of life our forefathers conceived and established. A way of life which gave everyone who came to this country the chance to progress according to his ability and enterprise"

This video is so White, capitalist, and simplified it was really hard to not punch my monitor in frustration. I wonder if there are any videos like this being made in 2019 that present a much more nuanced and complete picture of the realities of our global economic situation.
