Chapter 11: Politics, Money, and Knowledge in the New Order:

What the bleep is going on around here? Manufacturing jobs are disappearing. Several millions of people are being displaced. The pyramiding of wealth is proceeding unchecked. Earned pensions are being yanked away. The very rich have been relieved of most tax responsibilities. Most major cities are engaging in ethnic cleansing and calling it gentrification. The Patriot Act seems to be overtaking the Bill of Rights. Long established corporations like K-Mart, United Airlines, and Montgomery Wards are filing for bankruptcy. Our remilitarizing imperial government is illegally overthrowing foreign governments and creating chaos throughout the world. Eminent domain now means Wal-Mart can take your house. Last, but not least, corporate privatization is eroding the concept of public schooling.
