Capital
2015 · TV series · 60 min episodes · 1 season
Set on a single street in South London, Capital is a portrait of a road transformed by soaring property prices: what was once the home of modest lower-middle class families, Pepys Road has been continuously gentrified into a street of multimillion pound houses. On one day, the people of this South London street all receive an anonymous postcard with the simple message 'we want what you have'. Its unsettling ripples affect every corner of the community.

Coincidentally just watched Capital on NetFlix. It’s not a great watch, but a decent way to absorb an abridged version of the book. Pairs well with The Social Dilemma for a documentary night. Mark Blyth is an economist with plenty of content on YouTube that touches on similar topics.
For adjacent book recommendations I highly recommend Goliath by Matt Stoller on the subject of capital and monopoly power in the US over history.
