It was weird when i read about Adam Smiths philosophy, seeing as its cited as a foundation of capitalism, how idealistic it sounded (albeit at the rather superficial level i was reading it) and how the way things are now seem rather at odds with it.

I agree with both statements. This film was pretty good about it in my opinion. Although it did start off bad, and I thought I was getting into 2 1/2 hours of "Big buisness BAD, hippies GOOD!" But they did end up backing their statements pretty well.
And the original ideas of corporations were good. They were very effective in getting things done that needed to be done when you didn't have the big bucks to do it. I feel it was around the time that corporations began being recognized as a person that things went on a downward spiral.
