Just watched this impressive conversation between Lawrence Lessig and Chris Hedges on the situation in the United States re: the “Winner Take All Politics” (to borrow a title from a book whose authors Bill MOyers had on his opening week of his new show recently).

I had downloaded a sample chapter of Lessig’s latest book Republic Lost,  and now I am compelled to go and rerad that entire sample and likely be convinced to download the complete Kindle version.  Between Moyer’s show this month,  finsihing Suskind’s Confidence Men,  and the inspiration I have been finding in the Occupy movement,  what I heard from Professor Lessig makes this book a likely candidate for my “stack” of must reads.

The video I just watched is below
