Based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw
This three-disc, six-hour documentary does an astonishingly thorough job of dissecting and explaining macroeconomics and their current political and social importance without ever causing a loss of consciousness for the viewer. Big ideas are made extremely accessible to the average viewer (without condescension). Commanding Heights dramatically captures the issues that have defined the wealth and fate of nations and shows how the battle over the world economy will shape our lives in the twenty-first century.

The history and impact of the new global economy are made clear–and compelling–in Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy. This groundbreaking series explores our changing world—the great debate over globalization and the future of our society.

Part 1, The Battle of Ideas, chronicles the history of economic thought from the start of the 20th century and its socialist reforms right through the deregulation of the 1980s.

Part 2, The Agony of Reform, explores the upheavals that such deregulation caused, focusing primarily on economic growth and gains and touching briefly on the wrenching consequences for the poor.

Part 3, The New Rules of the Game, explores the consequences of globalization, including terrorism and the contagion of market collapse. The series makes good use of both large- and small-scale examples, and features interviews with several major world leaders.

Filmed on five continents, the powerful narrative combines stunning film footage with dramatic stories and extraordinary interviews with world leaders and thinkers from twenty different countries, including:
- Bill Clinton,
- Dick Cheney,
- former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev,
- Mexican President Vicente Fox,
- Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer,
- Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew,
- former Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin,
- Rep. Richard Gephardt, and
- President George W. Bush’s Economic Advisor Lawrence Lindsey.
