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.Unusual SourcesThu, 24 May 2012 13:37:43 +0000
