Watch Noam Chomsky (2014) Video "How to Ruin an Economy; Some Simple Ways"
Filmed and edited by Leigha Cohen http://www.leighacohenvideo.com/
Noam
Chomsky spoke at Third Boston Symposium on Economics on February 10th
2014, sponsored by the Northeastern University Economics Society http://www.northeastern.edu/econsocie... in Boston, MA.
Chomsky
argued that certain factors, among them cutting federal funding for
research and development and the growing gap between the richest 1
percent and everybody else, have led to the country's current economic
climate.
"The system is so dysfunctional that it cannot put eager
hands to needed work using the resources that would be available if the
economy were designed for human needs," Chomsky said. "These things
didn't just happen like a tornado, they are the results of deliberate
policies over roughly the past generation."
Chomsky focuses on
what economic actions that government, the super rich and corporations
are doing that insures the US and other economies fail for the
overwhelming majority of people. We're a nation whose leaders are
pursuing policies that amount to economic suicide.
This video also includes an extended 14 minute question and answer period with Dr. Chomsky..
