Classic Chomsky on the state of America today, recorded in 2011. In three short, impromptu talks, NOAM CHOMSKY brilliantly discusses * the 1%'s attack on public education--and why they are doing it * financial crimes that get people arrested--and the more serious ones that don't * whether the people can change the system
The surprising answer to the third question is, Yes--they've done it before.
Chomskys remarks are taken from a Q&A session following a talk he gave in Syracuse, NY, on November 11, 2011. From the video recording by Wilton Vought (othervoicesotherchoices.blogspot.com -- also available as a YouTube channel). Many thanks.
