![Nelson Reeny speaking on Global Economics](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
This recording is from an informal lecture/discussion by Nelson Reeny on the future of global production and capitalism. He talks about the changes that have occurred and what he sees as inevitably coming as a result of globalization and the expansion of capitalism. He talks about the contradiction between wealth and poverty and how this will lead to a state of disaster and finally revolution. Reeny also speaks on the problems with international investing and how we can no longer look at the world from the framework of imperialism because capitalism knows no boundaries and foreign investment takes away the national identity of a product.

![Select B roll from American Revolution 2 & J. Edgar Hoover](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
A gritty but essential documentary charting social turbulences in late 1960's Chicago. American Revolution 2 includes footage of the 1968 Democratic Convention protest and riot, a critique of the events by working class African-Americans in Chicago, and attempts by the Black Panther Party to organize poor, southern white youths on the city's north side. Using direct sound, a handheld camera, no script, black-and-white film stock, and natural lighting, the directors' no-frills approach appropriately reflects the raw energy of this upheaval.
This scathing documentary chronicles the career of J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI for more than 40 years. His lifelong obsession with communists that began with the “Red Scare” of the early 1920s and manifested itself into a mission hell-bent on eradicating anyone suspected of engaging in anti-American activities, be they actors, politicians or protest groups.
A masterful propagandist, Hoover took every opportunity given him to create a public atmosphere of outsider paranoia – and his fears ran deep. By the time of his death in 1972, Hoover’s FBI had compiled thousands of individual secret files and completed countless illegal operations.
