I just stumbled upon the following talk by Cornel West on Google Video.  Because West is such a gifted speaker,I was thrilled to find his talk on-line.  One of the more poignant things he says is that "without non-market values–love, trust, fidelity, justice–no democracy can survive."  Given that so many politicians these days are entirely blind to the importance of non-market values (think Iraq and Katrina), we are in dire need of West’s vision and hope.
