Behind today's headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did.

Important and frightening
Revisado: 08-05-17
Excellent examination of how economic idealogues funded by extremist billionaires who see mass democracy as antithetical to their personal political views have weaponized economic and legal theory and institutions in an effort to fundamentally and radically restructure public discourse and institutions. Their utopian vision is frightening in its mass disenfranchisement and lack of basic compassion and in how successful they have been in promoting policies and debate in favor of it. This is a powerful argument for political engagement and the danger to democracy of unlimited concentrated capital.
Excellent research and writting, well delivered.

Jazz is a uniquely American art form, one of America's great contributions to not only musical culture, but world culture, with each generation of musicians applying new levels of creativity that take the music in unexpected directions that defy definition, category, and stagnation. Now you can learn the basics and history of this intoxicating genre in an eight-lecture series that is as free-flowing and original as the art form itself.

A Disappointingly Distorted, Myopic View Of Jazz
- De Parallax View en 08-18-13
Great, but video is probably greater.
Revisado: 12-04-15
A very nice survey of jazz history by an accomplished and very capable performer. Unfortunately, references to visuals, and too little time spent on modern jazz detract from the lecture series. It would have benefited from being longer and being in video form.
