How did you get involved with the movement. I bet you were if you were then to say I'm in university and he was like a likeable fellow that would get me into the fray and when they bomb his house and it is fair to say I'm up fifty eight and I won at their. Christmas moment a newborn that Christmas Eve night. Other than my own little run. They didn't do that moment at midnight. But in a way. It is. This leg below my house could have been my tv stand up talk straight. It looked real would retaliate. They'd encounter love. But in a way. I want to live more So first it next day for two good three day there. We're talking about what happened. In Moore St. John's and you know if you're working and nobody knew.
What you have. And it's huge. And I said. Would you please if. You got a lot influence with me and I have in the unions and union meeting nights asked them to volunteer and we got a watchman group. And in the day. You couldn't a got by color no Weisman group or security group. So we had Alabama Christer movement going. They just wrote for The Christian movement. But ordinary was so cute man.

That's when he lives here with Glen Ellyn a mattress and. Being who we're. Just one in a family that one little scratch on a cheek nobody else knows. One of my really top motivations was for it show where he can explain the idea of freedom so where it would just take away the fear from you. And the companies that he had in the logo and he could really explain it. And he did one his thing or if it was an airplane without a parachute and God told me to jump

Description
Description
Activist Raj Patel discusses his new book, The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy, with radio's On Point producer, John Wihbey.In The Value of Nothing, Raj Patel, a long-time visionary in issues of global development, points to the inadequecy of price as a measure of value, and urges us to look at the larger environmental, political, and social cost of the goods we consume. The book reveals that our current crisis is not simply the result of too much of the wrong kind of economics. While we need to rethink our economic model, Patel argues that the larger failure beneath the food, climate, and economic crises is a political one. If economics is about choices, Patel writes, it isn't often said who gets to make them. The Value of Nothing offers an accessible way to think about economics and the choices we will all need to make in order to create a sustainable economy and society.
