Episode2. HOW THE 1980s KILLED THE AMERICAN DREAM

1980 hit hard with the worst job losses since the Depression. But unlike the depression this crisis had been planned at the top and it had Milton Friedman's fingerprints all over it. In this episode we look at the great economic counter revolution that turned the 1980s into the "decade of greed" and broke the back of the American working class. We have been picking up the pieces ever since.

But this episode tells the story of a manufacturing plant in Oshawa that stood up to shock doctrine. Resistance by Canadian workers in the 80s  represents a powerful dangerous memory.
