  • Schiff is spot on here, capitalism can't be viewed as an evil social structure if it is based on the freedom to associate and trade with whoever one wishes; the collusion between corporations and the state is what people so desperately need to acknowledge as the real problem. Socialism has been debunked on a moral and practical level, we need to move past it

  • You notice at 2:12 how after they announce/promote Schiffs book, Anderson just knows West has written so many books he can't list even one! Fucking says it all if you ask me...

  • CORNEL WEST does not understand that the Government gives a deposit insurance the depositor does not have to pay for or worry about. Then the bank knows the depositor would not have to worry about being speculative. It is the regulations of the Federal Government/State Government on the banking industry. The individual depositor needs to pay a little, not a lot for his/her insurance on their account in the bank.

  • Labor Unions are bad for everyone. THe workers of a company/factory need to be organized, but the Union is a thing of the past and needs to fade into history.

  • Labor Unions are good. Free market capitalism is good. One must check and balance the other.

  • Corrupt politicians are the problem not 'the government'.... The gov should be the voice of the people....Banks are being blocked from total domination, thats Sciffs real complaint.

  • If you just say governent enough, eventually it will stick. One kept saying government, the other one was talking about everyday people.

  • he could have mentioned atleast one book of Mr Cornell out of respect..the man needs to make a living too you know..

  • It is a solid as hell argument, however there is a logical path to achieve the aims of both of these very very smart, and outspoken men. So far the "free marketeers (for lack of a better buzzword)" include the Ron Paul camp, the Tea Party Camp, and indirectly the OWS and even Anonymous camps of the Greater "American Resistance Movement" Each has their own vision of freedom, which overlap in great and small ways , forming this larger bubble of unrest. Our New Political parties?

    Ayn Rand used her philosophy as an excuse to cheat on her husband.
