John Ralston Saul: The Cult of Neoliberalism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXUJEWNHweE

In this episode of teleSUR’s Days of Revolt, Chris Hedges and author John Ralston Saul discuss neoliberalism as an ideology, the breakdown of that ideology, and what comes next. The two draw parallels between historic systems of power and the current corporatism that exists in the West today, and unveil the tactics used by both to control language and collective memory.
