Can the dominance of corporate ideology in our lives and in our thinking be reversed? On the next Your Call we'll speak with Douglas Rushkoff, author of Life Inc: How The World Became A Corporation And How To Take It Back. Rushkoff, a novelist and professor of Media Studies at NYU, traces how the logic of markets came to dominate our sense of ourselves and lays out a plan to rehabilitate community power. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 am. How are you nurturing community? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
