An excellent interview about a lot of things

The following is an interview on CBC's WRITERS & COMPANY with spy novelist and real-world spy

John le Carré. He has some extremely timely and intelligent things to say regarding the Cold War, Communism, Democracy and the delegation of the citizen elected government power to corporations. He also touches on economics, Neoliberalism, Banking, and the Financial Crisis, the longing for empire by elites, spy-craft, writing and much more. He has said that this will be the final interview that he will give.
