1 Our global civilization now exhibits many of the symptoms of earlier civilizations in their death throes. While we are far better equipped than our ancestors to prevent the collapse of our civilization, this will require a major reconfiguration of our political and economic institutions.

2 In respect of basic needs and aspirations, people everywhere are the same, regardless of cultural differences. Everybody wishes for security and fulfilment in life, but these aspirations can only be achieved universally in a world in which the economy is configured specifically to encourage this outcome.

3 The greatest obstacle to creating a just, inclusive and sustainable society is the manipulation of the economy in the interests of elite power and privilege. This must be overcome if democracy is to deliver structures and institutions that promote majority interests.

1. 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men...

FOUR HORSEMEN is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.

As we will never return to 'business as usual' 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.

FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.

"It's Inside Job with bells on, and a frequently compelling thesis thanks to Ashcroft's crack team of talking heads -- economists, whistleblowers and Noam Chomsky, all talking with candour and clarity." - Total Film

"Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear."
- Harold Crooks, The Corporation (Co-Director) Surviving Progress (Co-Director/Co-Writer)

4. I wish they would stress the difference between free enterprise and capitalism.

However, this is a good stepping stone for those not acquainted with any of this economics.
