LearnOutLoud.com Review
Lawrence Lessig made a name for himself advocating the reduction of legal restrictions on copyright and trademark in our new digital age, and he laid out his ideas in his manifesto Free Culture (made free as an audio book under the Creative Commons license). Since then he has turned his efforts to political activism, examining the corrosive effects of money in government. In 2013 he gave a TED talk with over a million views called We the People, and the Republic We Must Reclaim. After this popular TED talk he wrote a 100-page TED Book further exploring the ideas he expressed in his talk. He has graciously recorded the audio book version himself and released it as a podcast through iTunes (under the Creative Commons license). Listen to this free 2 Hr. 30 Min. audio book in which Lessig outlines his ideas about the monetary influence of 44,000 individuals, or 0.05 percent, and how they are controlling the governance of the 311 million people of the United States.
