In the last 250 years, free-market ideology has played a central role in the development of the logic and rhetoric that have influenced the daily life of populations throughout the world. It was cornered for a few decades during the twentieth century in favor of a social economy for the public interest, and then returned to the limelight in the last thirty years of the century to dominate the logics that drive world economies, doing the favor of the elites at the expense of 99%. Through the testimony of six people informed about the facts, Laissez-faire offers a historical and ideological perspective through which to identify the fundamental problems of the economic mechanism on which societies are based.

Himself
Este documental presenta el lado oculto de uno de los mayores escándalos financieros de la historia, en el que varios altos ejecutivos de la séptima empresa más importante de los Estados Unidos se embolsaron más de mil millones de dólares mientras sus accionistas y empleados lo perdían todo. Basada en el best-seller 'The Smartest Guys in the Room' (algo así como 'Los tipos más listos del lugar') de los periodistas de la revista Fortune Bethany McLean y Peter Elkind, la cinta utiliza declaraciones personales y cintas de audio y vídeo de la empresa para mostrar los increíbles excesos cometidos por la cúpula directiva de Enron y el profundo vacío moral que ocultaba la supuesta filosofía corporativa.
