Have you noticed how ancient religious texts like the Bible often heavily focus on financial themes, especially debt and inequality? This was long before capitalism existed. The existence of markets (capitalist or not) tends to lead to inequality. In fact, modern capitalist societies were the first to have the ability (though not necessarily the will…) to adequately address this issue using progressive taxation, as opposed to the older methods like the Jubilee, bans on usury, and later feudalism (all of which have severe drawbacks).

Most likely a contemporary film that neither features history, nor science, nor technology. Hollywood rom-coms are good candidates since they tend to be quite shallow.

Because empirical evidence is lacking.

Not at all. Yes, there are a few such as Penrose and Josephson who have dabbled in this nonsense, but very few in the community take it seriously.
