John Perkins, author of "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", and subesquent writings, or in videos anyway, is surely a good reference to mention. And former USMC Major General Smedley Butler's revelations are also fitting.
It'd be great for all of the public to be able to view this documentary film, but capitalism again prevents spread and sharing of important knowledge. Well, the rest of us just have to hope to have sufficient common sense that we don't really need this and similar films.
With that said, about capitalist "America", it's funny to hear the guy who I guess is a member of Congress or the Senate saying that some bank robbers in his constituency or district say the same thing as the Wall Street "boys", and then the guy who asks for the discussion or Q&A to not be filmed or recorded, "Could we turn this off for a second?". Why would the latter guy make such a request, if there was nothing incriminating to try to hide? No valid reason comes to mind.
And if the rich elites could commit this "inside job", then people should be able to realize that another important event that occurred nine years ago could very well have also been an inside job, very much anyway; and anyone who cares to [carefully] study that question will learn that there are strong reasons for either suspecting or else believing that an "inside job" for a "New Pearl Harbor" is what likely happened; on 9/11, 2001. It's not absolutely proven, but it nevertheless is strongly proven that that was indeed an inside job; very much, anyway. There's a lot more evidence for that than there is for a merely naive and stupid govt having been responsible for criminally negligently having allowed the attacks to happen, anyway.
An inside job does not happen without [conspiracy], so it's clear that ADS is acknowledgding, implicitly, that conspiracies do happen. Anyone believing that conspiracies don't happen has far less knowledge of history than I do and is either a liar, or awfully naive. And I have little historical knowledge, but know that conspiracies happen. I grew up a victim of real bullying for years and there definitely was conspiracy in this, f.e. It's an elementary example, but is a real experience nonetheless. Anyone who has less historical knowledge than I do is definitely "hurting"; but Stephen Lendman and some other people have helped me, and Robert Fisk has been, at times anyway, helpful regarding Islam, which he has considerably defended or described in very humane light.
Wall Street is racket industry, big banks have LONG been about racket, and rackets don't happen without conspiracy. The chiefs of the big banks are the people who manipulated the federal government into putting the Federal Reserve in their private control and that more than smacks of racket!
And that brings the documentary film, "The Money Masters", to mind. It's available at Google, or certainly was last year, and is very interesting.
Questioning a Wall Street elite or lobbyist, who arrogantly says, "I don't have to discuss this with you", burn baby, burn! He should discuss this with the interviewer and thereby the rest of us, because if he doesn't, then he clearly tells us that he's complicit in this robbery against the whole country; not just a bank, but the whole country.

The above trailer is interesting enough that I did a little Web searching to try to find out more about it and the following brief video-recorded interview came up. It's few minutes long. The rest of the video is about some Chinese movie.
"Oscar-nominated director Charles Ferguson‘s 'Inside Job' , a documentary on the financial crisis", May 20, 2010
The financial crisis is at the heart of the Cannes Film Festival this year. After Oliver Stone’s "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps", Oscar-nominated documentary director Charles Ferguson brings us an insider's look at what, and who, caused the world’s financial crisis.
He definitely sounds much better than a Michael Moore to me.
