Requiem for the American Dream: a review

We've all been reading a mountain of editorials, blogs, books, and articles trying to put the events of the past month or two into some sort of context that makes sense.  I caught the documentary Requiem for the American Dream  on Netflix this weekend.  It's the latest from Noam Chomsky,  providing a conceptual framework explaining how economics and power have shaped American government throughout our history.   I immediately ordered his book of the same name (due out in March). It's worth a look.
