Summary
In his book Zombie Politics and Culture in the Age of Casino Capitalism, author and scholar Henry Giroux threads together ideas and experiences to prove his theory that our current system is informed by a "machinery of social and civil death" that chills "any vestige of a robust democracy." In this edition of Moyers & Company, Giroux explains that such a machine has turned people into zombies-and that the system that has created this vacuum is "casino capitalism." Also included are a preview of Birth of the Living Dead, a mesmerizing documentary that examines the singular time in which the classic 1968 film Night of the Living Dead was shot, and remembrances of Bill's 2003 interview with Nobel prize-winning novelist Doris Lessing, who passed away at the age of 94.
