	3/23 7:16pm dvdsweeney: re: Harper's article is on scribd http://www.scribd.com/doc/13429468/Infinite-Debt
	3/23 7:19pm David: Welcome all. A little later, we'll try to get some of your questions on the air. Richard Metzger of Disinfo up next!
	3/23 7:20pm anon.: you're interviewing yourself, buddy.
	3/23 7:23pm David: Yup. the idea was for Miriam to interview Doug about his ideas on money on the air.
	3/23 7:40pm Evangeline: •m – All of this is said with a big, enthusiastic grin, but... C’mon Doug! You edited the GenX Reader! You know as well as anyone that grunge was an ideological movement – A revulsion – Being sickened by the corporate excess of those who had created, but later abandoned, punk. Punk was a far more selfish movement than grunge in that it was about doing and being what you wanted and f*#@ society. Grunge had a more communal ethos and you my friend are the poster boy! Grunge was that coming of age on the back of that era of success – A generation emerging into an adulthood that they had no control over because the damage was done. Punk should not be celebrated – It is no coincidence that punk has re-emerged as the voice of Gen Y – A generation that is criticised for being materialistic and shallow. Man - There's no way I can get this idea out in a short post here... What I'm trying to say is that a punk ithos n and of itself is not a solution - It's too self-oriented.
	3/23 8:03pm Sean Daily: Good show, Doug.
	3/29 2:00pm johnc: The angle here is a bit too libertarian for my tastes. The passion for and faith in marketplace economics fails to address the social complexities of the global human situation. The marketplace has little interest in society beyond self interest.

The Media Squat with Douglas Rushkoff: Playlist from March 23, 2009

The Media Squat is freeform, bottom-up, open source radio looking towards similarly open source, bottom-up solutions to some of the problems engendered by our relentlessly top-down society.

Each show will initiate a series of discussions, which will themselves comprise part of an expanding wiki of resources, support material, and community-generated content.

This isn't pure '60s or Whole Earth radicalism and self-sufficiency (though it's certainly related) but a 21st Century, cyberpunk reclamation of all technologies and social contracts as essentially open source, up for discussion, and open to modification. It's an application of the hacker ethic and net collectivism to everything, done in the spirit of fun and adventure.

Ongoing forums with host, guests, and listeners take place at http://www.mediasquat.net.
