Nothing but a classic
The master himself, on top form and in one of perhaps the top twenty of films that have been ever made.

Never mind the fact that modern capitalism (thirties style) does not get a fair chance to state its case, Charlie Chaplin is a sufficient antidote to the power of advertising and consumerism, showing the down side of the American Dream.
