Read by President John F. Kennedy, it was probably the driving force behind the "war on poverty." The Boston Globe editorialized that Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps and expanded social security benefits were traceable to Harrington's ideas. Harrington became the pre-eminent spokesman for socialism in America.This film captures the essence of Harrington's ideas through the use of archival footage and interviews with people who knew and worked with him, as well as those who were in total disagreement. Over thirty interviews are filmed with people as diverse as John Kenneth Galbraith, Gloria Steinem, William F. Buckley and Charles Murray. We also hear from ordinary people who struggle to make a living, or are dependent on social services. These are the victims of what Harringon called "the new American poverty," which unfortunately still exists despite a booming economy. The documentary includes a brief history of socialism in America, and raises questions concerning the merits and relevance of unions today, and the problems of migrant workers, farmers, inner cities and our health care system. 001356035 521__ $$aFor High School; Adult audiences. 001356035 530__ $$aPreviously released as DVD. 001356035 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001356035 60010 $$aHarrington, Michael,$$d1928-1989. 001356035 650_0 $$aPoverty$$zUnited States. 001356035 650_0 $$aSocialism$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 001356035 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic conditions$$y1945- 001356035 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1945- 001356035 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001356035 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747797966 001356035 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?CURV;1646899 001356035 901__ $$aASP1646899/curv$$bVaAlASP$$c7999$$tbiblio 001356035 905__ $$uadmin 001356035 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1356035$$pGLOBAL_SET 001356035 944__ $$a1784981 001356035 945__ $$aThe Whole World$$cChina 001356035 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001356035 980__ $$aBIB 001356035 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001356035 983__ $$aOnline
