SYNOPSIS

When most people are asked what "Activist Investing" is, they think it has to do with the environment, or being socially conscious in investing. It's where a "corporate raider" buys 10-20% of the shares of a publicly traded company, forces their way onto the board, and takes over by implementing their programme of change (read: mass layoffs, cutting costs). In 6-12 months the share price has doubled or tripled, they sell out, bank their profits and move onto their next corporate target.

​

This is the architecture of the story of Capital. Within it, is a father-son story that has played out for centuries. Usurpation, betrayal, and the ultimate discovery of what is truly important in life.
