Changing America / Sabina Virgo.
Talk by Sabina Virgo on the need to transform current economic policies which are directly responsible for the growth of the American underclass. She begins with a critique of American acquisitive values which dominate both corporate and individual behavior. She uses changes in the Soviet Union-Russia as an example of potential change. Current United States economic policies have done nothing to reduce suffering and homelessness. We call for change everywhere in the world except our own country, where military spending continues to cripple any hope for recovery. The resulting hopelessness in our society is, in large part, responsible for increased crime and violence. The process must change, she concludes.|CHANGING AMERICA / Sabina Virgo. - Talk by Sabina Virgo on the need to transform current economic policies which are directly responsible for the growth of the American underclass.
