In a special interview, Truthout contributor Henry Giroux takes us back to the basics of what can be seen as an ongoing and accelerating war between the rich and everyone else, an event that has resulted in a mass inability “to translate private troubles into larger structural public considerations.”

“We have no way of understanding that link anymore,” Giroux says, “because what we’ve done is we’ve defined freedom in a way that suggests it’s the freedom to do anything you want and screw everybody else.”
