UG#565 - The World Crisis and the Wholeness of Life (Deschooling Society 5)

Robin Upton | 31-08-2011 19:02 | Analysis | Culture | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week we look at the effect on the direction of Western society of the concerted efforts made to turn as many people as possible into non-thinking automata. In our first hour, a wide ranging and entertaining lecture from a quarter century ago, E. F. Schumacher speaks on "The World Crisis and the Wholeness of Life" in the year before his death. Then the ensuing Q & A, followed by chapter 5 from Illich's Deschooling Society. We conclude with a little from John Taylor Gatto and a retired Brigadier General on one aspect of waste by the US military.

UG#562 - Our Biggest Enemy is Ourselves (Deschooling Society 1)

Robin Upton | 07-08-2011 18:20 | Analysis | Culture | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio
This week we look at the need to deschool ourselves both as individuals and collectively, by relying more on our own wits and those of our personal contacts and less on the dying impersonal centralised institutions which dominated 20th century developed life. The title is a quote from an extended interview with John Taylor Gatto, which we follow by reading the first chapter of Ivan Illich's Deschooling Society.

UG#554 - Homo Miserabilis (From Primitive Affluence to Developed Poverty)

Robin Upton | 25-06-2011 08:57 | Analysis | Culture | Social Struggles | Sheffield

Audio
The show this week looks at 'human needs' - a concept so deep as to go largely unquestioned by ideologues of economics and economic 'development'. We start with a reading from an anthropology professor which challenges ideas of 'primitive' people's poverty, before some of an essay by Illich on "Needs". In our second hour, some easier listening - a radio adaptation of a film on consumerism, Shop Til You Drop.

Dear Noam

I am writing to you and a number of other friends mostly in the US to alert you to the extraordinary banning of my film on war and media, 'The War You Don't See', and the abrupt cancellation of a major event at the Lannan Foundation in Santa Fe in which David Barsamian and I were to discuss free speech, US foreign policy and censorship in the media.
