Lawrence Lessig on Charlie Rose's program (4.00 / 2)

Very interesting, as usual, with an interesting story about Obama, whom Lessig has known personnally for a while:

A 'centrist' is someone who's neither on the left, nor on the left.

Re: Lawrence Lessig on Charlie Rose's program (none / 1)

He makes an important metaphor work: that the US is a cancer patient headed to the hospital for the beginning of chemo, and has a wicked auto accident on the way. Obama needs to put in place a trauma team, as well as begin the transformative prescription of a way to health.

V. interesting interview. Expecting a short clip, I sat there for an hour! Rose caught him out a bit on the 'greater good' v internet funding bit, but generally a very informative exchange.
