The Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galleano uis on Leonard Lopate's
show write now (WNYC, 820 on the AM dial here in NYC). The
entire interview should be available to hear tomorrow (and for the
next two weeks) at wnyc.org

He has some good points about capitalism--like how economists love
to talk about "value added" ( as in "value added tax) by capitalists, but
nobody talks about "pain added." We pay the "pain-added tax," he says,
without thinking about it. He also calls globalization "McDonaldization"
and talks about the world economy as large-scale organized crime.

His new book iscalled "Upside-Down: A primer for the Looking Glass
World."
