Challenging Consumer Capitalism and Assumptions of Social Structures

by Robert Wilkinson

Via the ever-great TruthOut, an amazing (if somewhat dense) article assessing what must be done if we are to build a more enlightened society and educated population out of the wreckage of our current failed economic and social "free market" experiment. Written at a PhD level of comprehensibility, it may take a while to chew on some of its pithier assertions, but it does open the door to profound thought and ways to move out of the economic and social assumptions creating the global mess we're in, regardless of what continent we live on.
