Naomi Klein's "Disaster Capitalism", the system Occupy Boston is looking to reform
"Disaster Capitalism", the system of economy and imperial government the elites have set up over our heads,
is subject of Naomi Klein's very important work. This is not a theoretical book, but an analysis of the reality we have been experiencing for many years...and which has come clearly into focus through Klein's work.
The 27 minute show cannot do justice to the very readable and vivid power of her book, it is just to try to give the general idea of the inhumanity, inherent anti-democratic nature, and danger of such a system.
Please read the book and discuss it with others.
Enjoy the show.

Critical Theory as a tool to interpret political promisses
Ruling elites fabricate a picture of reality which they hope we will blindly accept. Ideology is the appropriate name for this misleading picture. During the 1930's a group of social experts, scientists and literary avant-garde challenged the growing horror of Hitler fascism with a method of political criticism which came to be know as Critical Theory. The method is set in materialistic rather than idealistic philosophical tradition, thus using an economic model to interpret decision making in cultural and political arena. That business is "in it for profit", should be no surprise. It should be clear as well that business seeks to project a favorable image of all its activities, quasi, in the interest of public progress. This is the "ideology" which critical theory seeks to clarify. Enjoy the show.
