Mike Daisey - The Last Cargo Cult
Loading...
Uploaded by mdaisey on Mar 10, 2010
Excerpts from Mike Daisey's monologue "The Last Cargo Cult" Off-Broadway at the Public Theater, directed by Jean-Michele Gregory. Groundbreaking monologist Mike Daisey returns with the story of his journey to a remote South Pacific island whose people worship America and its cargo. This narrative is woven against a searing examination of the international financial crisis that gripped the globe at the same moment. Confronting the financial system that dominates our world, Daisey wrestles with the largest questions of what the collapse means, and what it can tell us about our deepest values. Part adventure story and part memoir, he explores each culture to unearth a human truth between the seemingly primitive and achingly modern.

"Perfectly balances humor and genuine angeran incredibly ballsy and humble indictment of the banking system, American materialism and the audience."

3rd and last segments are excellent rejoinder to Jaime Galbraith's put down of question from old lady who asked "didn't Adam Smith and Karl Marx agree "money is just a measuring spoon, a weight on a tray made to measure fair trade"... of human labor time.
