"It's amusing to watch a government lose it's mind in front of the world," says Taylor, in reference to the massive student movement in Quebec. Phil Taylor and Yves Engler explore the desperation of the establishment, confronted by a real, popular social movement, the largest current movement in Canada.
They also discuss Noam Chomsky's analysis of student debt as a deliberate means of social control: indebted students are less likely to challenge authority, and are more likely to seek "marketable" educations.
With the massive protest in Chicago, Stephen Gowans rounds out the program with a discussion of the legitimacy of NATO, and the lesser-known history of its formation.
