What: We the Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few – A book talk by Robert Ovetz
When: Thursday, February 23rd (2-3:15 pm)
Where: The Anatol Conference Center / Cal State Long Beach
Written by 55 of the richest white men, and signed by only 39 of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth and misinformation – many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. We the Elites examines the constitution for what it is – a rulebook for elites to protect capitalism from democracy. Robert Ovetz’s reading of the constitution shows that the system isn’t broken.
Far from it. It works as it was designed to.
