DESCRIPTION:There is a strong inclination in U.S. social thought to regard the past as 
 a golden age, and to view systemic corruption as a more recent phenomenon. 
 But tendencies toward corruption have been present since this nation's 
 inception. Over the centuries those tendencies have waxed and waned, but 
 they have never been absent, and at this moment they are regrouping and 
 amassing with particular vehemence. Lichtman addresses the historical 
 forces at play, the current conjuncture, and possibilities for meaningful 
 resistance.\n\nRichard Lichtman is a philosopher, a social critic, and 
 professor emeritus of psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley. His 
 books include The Production of Desire, Dying in America and  Essays in 
 Critical Social Theory. Lichtman's work focuses on locating the political 
 and personal within the larger social and cultural frameworks of human 
 activity. \n\n"I have never met a more profound critical thinker or an 
 intellect that runs deeper and wider. Talk to Richard Lichtman, read his 
 work... and you'll be the beneficiary of an eloquent critical exposition 
 supported by his sweeping knowledge." -Lillian Rubin, author, sociologist, 
 psychotherapist\n\n"Richard Lichtman is the leading critic of the 
 subjective malaise inherent in our capitalist society. Responsive to the 
 disciplines of Marxism, philosophy and sociology, deeply acquainted with 
 literature, and above all capable of refracting these through the everyday 
 lives of people, he has created a body of work that is both unique and of 
 lasting value." - Joel Kovel, author of The Enemy of Nature: The End of 
 Capitalism or the End of the World?\n\nHosted by C.S. Soong, a host and 
 producer of KPFA's highly regarded political affairs program Against the 
 Grain since its inception in March, 2003.\n \n$12 advance tickets,
