I believe I'm right in saying that the recording is based on a lecture that John McMurtry delivered in Toronto, May 2004. The attached MS word document is a greatly expanded and reworked version of the lecture and I heartily commend it to one and all. I first read it about 18 months ago and I recall it making quite an impression on me. It is complemented by a shorter piece along similar lines by Ola Tunander called 'Democratic State or Deep State' which, if memory serves, was posted here by Peter L about 12 months ago.
Both deserve much wider attention and I'm uploading both of them here for the archive and posterity.
