A regular contributor to The A-Info Radio Project archive of broadcast quality audio. All files are provided free of charge to non-commercial radio stations around the world, a vast resource that deserves your support.

Tonight's program #572, the latest to date at air time for RFK "Money & Monopoly" subtitled: "the contradictions of capitalism" presents the voices of the following: Milton Friedman, Howie Hawkins, Edward Griffin and Ellen Brown.

From the written program summary provided :

"If competition is such a good thing, why is it not tolerated in areas of government or law? Or in the money system, which functions as a highly profitable private business? And what about cartel agreements which align the interests of multi-national corporations firmly against the interests of consumers? Are corporations really competing to bring better products to market more cheaply, or are they competing for control of government to grant them privileges?"

To spice up the mix and bring this discussion to the immediate objective conditions at hand today I urge listeners to read the popular economist Paul Krugman's recent Ed/Op in the New York Times, "Panic of the Plutocrats."

Unwelcome Guests #572 runs the full two-hour length of RFK, no callers please.
