An evening about inequality, power, and the question of fairer economic paths
The Kinemathek Karlsruhe will be the venue for an intense film and discussion evening on September 11, 2026. The documentary Capital in the 21st Century by Justin Pemberton will be screened, which is based on Thomas Piketty's international bestseller and makes visible the major lines of wealth distribution, democracy, and social cohesion.
A film that brings economic history to life
The evening covers a topic that could not be more current: Why is wealth increasingly concentrating, and what are the consequences for society and the future? The film combines historical perspectives with voices from economic and finance experts, as well as historians. This creates an event experience that does not argue dryly but strikes at the heart of the debate with images, facts, and dynamics.
Discussion with an open view on the common good and future
Afterwards, there will be space for exchange and context. The event by the Common Good Economy Regional Group Karlsruhe and the Kinemathek Karlsruhe in the framework of the Fair Weeks Karlsruhe invites participants to think about economic questions not abstractly but concretely. What answers can the Common Good Economy provide to growing inequality? This is where the discussion picks up – close to the present and close to the audience.
A strong place for a strong topic
The Kinemathek Karlsruhe offers the suitable ambiance: centrally located, culturally shaped, and oriented towards conversation culture. The combination of cinema hall, film discussion, and thematic cooperation ensures a concentrated audience atmosphere, where analytical thinking and emotional impact have space side by side. This makes the evening more than just a screening – it becomes a shared perspective on the economic questions of our time.
Conclusion
For those interested in documentary film, societal debates, fair trade, and the future of our economic order, this evening promises substance. Capital in the 21st Century promises contextualization, conversation, and new perspectives. Experience it live in Karlsruhe and contribute to the discussion yourself.
