Lyn Gerry reads the second half of Richard K. Moore's classic essay, "Escaping the Matrix."
Moore's essay is a fine discussion of the gap between the Establishment's propaganda and the truth about how The System actually works. It's also a concise history of the changing interplay among the forces of imperialism, capitalism, economic policy, and the state.
KD begins with words on "The Matrix" movie, some connections to today, and a brief summary of Part 1 of the essay (heard last week).
