Cornel West: “Market-driven culture” [sic] has destroyed virtue

Source: Raw Story

“The failure of civil rights leaders to address ‘Wall Street criminality’ illustrates how money has corrupted American culture, according to Professor Cornel West. … ‘The fundamental difference between 1963 and 2013 is these days everything and everybody is up for sale,’ he said. ‘It’s a market-driven culture. Just dangle enough money, dangle enough possessions, dangle enough assets, and folks will come running — which means we don’t get too much integrity, honesty, decency, and virtue.'” [editor’s note: By calling this “market-driven culture,” Prof. West only reveals his illiteracy on free-market economics – SAT] (08/28/13)
