Paul Street: U.S. Empire and Inequality

In this lecture, author and professor Paul Street explores the conflict in society between militarism and social spending. Street uses the framework of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s triple evils: economic exploitation, racism, and militarism to talk at length about U.S. empire and inequality. He discusses the relationship between race and poverty and spends some time commenting on Hurricane Katrina that forced the corporate media--however briefly--to look at the intersection of these issues.
