Conversations with Great Minds with Chris Hedges, Pt 1

[Cabronosidad]

Who the hell is talking in the background? Does RT not employ floor managers to tell them to stfu?

[mistacramer]

I'm confused. "Public Opinion" by Walt Lippmann came out a few years after Teddy Roosevelt died.

Chris Hedges is a voice for people who cannot put his/our rage into words. A prophet, in short.

The US still is a protectionist state, but only for the rich.

"The Conservative Nanny-State" by Dean Baker

[WilhelmDrake]

People need an economic platform to rally around and the economic theory to explain it. The Economics profession has been trivialized to the point of absurdity and most should be chucked into the mathematics department.

Modern Monetary Thoery, Michael Hudson and the work of others is a good place to start.

Chris Hedges is easily the single most important op-ed columnist working in the American press today.

[ExposeAustinTexas]

Thom Hartmann and Chris Hedges both have sagacious books that everyone should read soon.

[DaHonestAbe]

Hedges and Hartmann, fuck yeah! 

[SuperTrancend]

funny how RT and aljezeera english are the only broadcasters that aren't sucking satans cock.

[ram321z]

@SuperTrancend

Funny you should say that, I have learnt more about the world and the shit we are in from these two channels, especially the guests they interview

[southsydney]

i love Hedge's bluntness

[whereismybailouttv]

Why is it so surprising that Germany and other countries practice protectionism? Hartmann's making it sound like it's some new trend.

If you're the govt. of another country, would you willing let yourself be dragged down by what Obama's doing?

[WeNeedA3rdParty]

Chris Hedges is a brave man ... we need more like him

[bcn533]

@WeNeedA3rdParty I agree. And I associate myself with most of what he says. But he's really wrong about "atheism" and also wrong about the Christian right.

Key words: there is no loyalty to the nation-states.
