"How we come out of this crisis is almost certainly going to define the nature of the next crisis down the road, unless we decide to say, 'To hell with capitalist crises, to hell with capitalism.' This seems to me to be something we should really be thinking about."From then on in Harvey endeavours to provide information about recent history that seems to have been collectively forgotten, or deliberately ignored, in case anyone might learn anything from the timeless lessons of that which has gone before us.[applause]

This guy has been paying attention. Unfortunately this level of analysis is rare today.
Too rare. And where are the insightful analyses from UK equivalents?
I wonder if there are any lurking in the archives here: Resistance MP3
Resistance MP3 - good site - have it listed on my bloglinks.
I think it might have been on your blog that I stumbled across the link in the first place, now that you mention it. So, thanks for that.
Hoping to have a listen to some of the Paul Foot stuff soon.
