3 - How would you describe the interaction of self-interest and mutual-interest?
4 - How would you describe the concept of money?

Wonderful talk. With the music I keep anticipating some sort of documentary/archival footage to come up, with Chomsky narrating over top of it haha.

Amazing and simple as usual. I find it incredible that his message resonates with all working classes, still he hardly gets any airtime in US. I think the answer to my question is in the question itself :)

Where did you learn this?

Just now, before watching this video, I was asking myself how it is possible that AFP, AP, and all international media acquire the information about how many people have died in Honduras in the hands of police and military, who are the ones who rape women and beat them, they rob them.. Do you know how? They ask those robbers, rappers, and assassins: The police and military and trust their word on how many people have died.Internationally 2 have been reported, hospitals and human rights 300
