One lecture series attendee put it this way: "No one has ever explained these basic (economic) principles to me before. I was operating inside a cage and didn't even know it."
This program was adapted and edited for radio from a lecture given by Mel Leiman (without props or notes, btw) before a live audience at Winslow Co-housing, Bainbridge Island WA, 24 Feb 2006.
