The film's title is never explained. What does Moore mean? Maybe it's that capitalism means never having to say you're sorry.

Impassioned, informative and entertaining, if sometimes repetitive.
At its best, Capitalism: A Love Story is a searing outcry against the excesses of a cutthroat time. At its worst, it's dorm-room Marxism.
Moore's scattershot is a lot more interesting than some filmmakers' focus, and many of those individual parts are classic.
Like most of his movies, Capitalism is a tragedy disguised as a comedy; it's also an entertainment.
This is a typical Moore oeuvre: funny, often over the top and of dubious documentation, but with strongly made points that leave viewers much to ponder and debate after they walk out of the theater.
Whether Capitalism matches "Fahrenheit 9/11" or underperforms like "Sicko" will depend on how much workers of the world are ready to unite behind the message.
