The public radio show On Point is having an interesting discussion right now (11:00 am) on the suffocating influence of corporations on society. As the show's website describes it:
Social critic Douglas Rushkoff is ready to think big in response to the economic crisis still rocking the U.S. and the world. Really big.
Rushkoff thinks we got off track as a society a ways back. About 400years back.
He’s not against capitalism. But the form we fell into –corporate capitalism – is killing us, he says. Killing values and communities. Turning us into the “brand that is me.” Turning homes into investments and 401k balances into cold barometers of success or failure.
It doesn’t have to be this way, he says.
The show is being aired locally on North Country Public Radio (a national broadcast list is here) and will eventually be available on demand the On Point website and iTunes.
