Chomsky offered a powerful analysis of the economic crisis and its roots; US foreign policy under Barack Obama; and the class interests driving U.S. domestic and foreign policy. He also speaks here at length about the tradition of worker self-management as an alternative to the business as usual approach of corporations and government during the economic crisis.
