A meeting of some of the most salient minds in left-leaning political thought today, the DEMOCRACY UNIVERSITY series continues to offer fascinating and very important insights into the contemporary state of the world and its political climate. In this volume we hear from Noam Chomsky in his first LA appearance in over 10 years, as well as former chief weapons inspector to Iraq Scott Ritter. Also taking the podium are Greg Palast, the muckraking journalist who broke the story of the voter fraud scandal in Florida; physicist Vandana Shiva, who sheds light on the consequences of uranium depletion and war on Earth; and Howard Zinn, author of A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, who addresses the subject of wars not covered in school.
