What a pleasure and respite it is to hear such inclusive and coherent engagement with the great political issues without ostentatious fanfare or fear of intimidation.
Especially at this time, when we are at such risk of being subsumed by internet sophistry & a surfeit of faux or facile intellectualism..
So, what a great conversation ~ high intellect, peerless integrity, genuine candour.
Thanks to you Lo, to Real News, to one and all…& kudos to “reverend” Chris (as that is his choice) but much respect to Professor Wolin.
Thanks David. So glad you enjoyed this conversation with Prof. Wolin, too. It is voices like his that need to be heard by many. I also thank the Real News and Rev. Hedges for doing these interviews.
