... if you believe that unrestrained capitalism is it's own worst enemy, then this show will really click with you, too. He describes how the sociopath MBA's are destroying democracy. Something some of us have observed since the advent of Reaganism.

and I'm very happy so many have seen this video. Almost every sentence is a quotable pearl, right?

This needs to be kicked back up to DUs front page You kept your promise, Iwillnevergiveup! I sat here and hollered "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" and even added words of my own. Well, there's three more to add to my bibliography list. For anyone who doesn't have time to watch the video clip, here are the books by Henry Giroux:

#1) Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism

#2) America's Education Deficit and the War on Youth, and

#3) The Violence of Organized Forgetting (to be published spring 2014)
