With new technologies replacing jobs at an ever increasing rate and big money playing a bigger and bigger part in our politics are we facing a future of mass unemployment and an all but disenfranchised populace?

Robert McChesney is Research Professor in the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
