Partita No.2 in C Minor, BWV 826: Andante - Martha Argerich

“I love Bach…pieces such as the C minor Partita. Yes, it’s very relaxing. I always feel as if I am improvising.” 
- Martha Argerich

just finished this book. regardless of nationality if you live in the ‘western’ world this is a very very important book and it should be in wider circulation.

It is especially relevant today with the current recession, banking crisis, occupy protests.

if you read anything read this: chapter 23: ‘the coming revolt of the guards’

“One percent of the nation owns a third of the wealth. The rest of the wealth is distributed in such a way as to turn those in the 99 percent against one another: small property owners against the propertyless, black against white, native-born against foreign-born, intellectuals and professionals against the uneducated and unskilled. These groups have resented one another and warred against one another with such vehemence and violence as to obscure their common position as sharers of leftovers in a very wealthy country.

Against the reality of that desperate, bitter battle for resources made scarce by elite control, I am taking the liberty of uniting those 99 percent as “the people.” I have been writing a history that attempts to represent their submerged, deflected, common interest. To emphasize the commonality of the 99 percent, to declare deep enmity of interest with the 1 percent, is to do exactly what the governments of the United States, and the wealthy elite allied to them-from the Founding Fathers to now-have tried their best to prevent. Madison feared a “majority faction” and hoped the new Constitution would control it. He and his colleagues began the Preamble to the Constitution with the words “We the people …,” pretending that the new government stood for everyone, and hoping that this myth, accepted as fact, would ensure “domestic tranquility.”

Yesyesyesyesyes. This book should be standard in all US History classes.
