Oliver Stone and the politics of film-making | Film | The Observer: "What would your father have made of the Wall Street of the last few years? I ask. 'Look, he was pissed off when we left the gold standard in '73, although'73 is actually very interesting. It's a really crucial year, because the income of the average working man flattened out in '73 and never went up in spending ability. But meanwhile the productivity of America went up like this. Where did that money go? It went to CEOs and stock holders. It went to the banks.'"
