A significant constituency on the left has materialized in recent years,
propelled by "anti-" (alter-) globalization actions, mobilizations
against the Iraq war, etc.  This demographic has been discovered by the
entertainment industry, which is ready to sell to them.  To say this is
not to denigrate the work of Moore et al., but to explain why it is
being promoted in the mainstream.  Still recommended after all these
years: "The Consciousness Industry" by Hans Magnus Enzensberger.
