New World Notes - Are We Broke? and What Can We Do?
This week on New World Notes: radio program #205, February 7, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst examines alternative views on the economic situation.
The more our country crumbles, the more the government says it can't afford to help us. Three voices offer three different solutions.
Annie Leonard says there's plenty of money: just force Congress to close corporate loopholes . . . and to support new "green" industries instead of "the dinosaur economy." Kevin Cameron says Big Government will always serve the powerful, so let's all develop an alternative economy. Chris Hedges says that civil disobedience is our only option.
Includes the entirety of Annie Leonard's new video, The Story of Broke . . . plus some reflections by Ken Dowst. The Story of Broke is available on YouTube.
Thanks to Robin Upton and "Unwelcome Guests" for Chris Hedges' recent talk at Hofstra University. Audio of the full speech is at http://www.unwelcomeguests.net/584.
Kevin Cameron's essay--which I slightly condensed and edited for radio--is from CounterPunch, November 28, 2011: http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/11/28/two-cheers-for-the-story-of-stuff/.
