The Story of Stuff
August 12th, 2008
A funny — and historically accurate — history of all our stuff. We’ll speak to Annie Leonard, the woman behind the short film The Story of Stuff. We’ll hear from Economic Hit Man John Perkins about how he undermined the financial systems of developing countries on behalf of the US Government. Then we’ll get a grip on this world gone mad with Frances Moore Lappe, the author of ‘Diet for a Small Planet.’ She discusses her latest work, Getting a Grip.
