All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind. -- Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, Chapter 4
Three short, impromptu talks by Noam Chomsky on the state of America today. Chomsky brilliantly discusses
- the 1%'s attack on public education--and why they are doing it
- financial crimes that get people arrested--and the more serious ones that don't
- whether the people can change the system
Our title refers to a favorite quotation of Chomsky's--reprinted at the top of this page.
Chomsky's remarks are taken from a Q&A session following a talk he gave in Syracuse, NY, on November 11, 2011. From the video recording by Wilton Vought (othervoicesotherchoices.blogspot.com). Many thanks.
