A classic audio collage by Virtual Renderings. An intriguing and sometimes rocking blend of satire, music, and also analysis by several voices (among them Richard Wolff's). It explores the economic problems of our time--falling wages, consumer debt, overwork, unemployment, decline of manufacturing, corrupt politicians, crooked banks and bankers, soaring corporate profits, and stratospheric executive salaries ... among others.
I have slightly condensed the original audio collage--mostly by shortening some of the musical selections. The original (titled "Capital Games") is available on radio4all.net.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "sheltering sky") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
