Henry Giroux, Authoritarianism and The Failure of the Left
Professor Henry Giroux appeared on "Democracy Now" to discuss his book "America at War with Itself," arguing that the U.S. is sliding into authoritarianism. Giroux claims celebrity culture and "thoughtlessness" have eliminated civic literacy, allowing money to corrupt politics entirely. He also criticizes the progressive left for failing to take education and "changing consciousness" seriously.
