reprivatize the economy and then you go to the other extreme that are diskin heads and you have national bolsheviks but it's just kind of embarrassing to talk about them and it's everyone's put under the same rubric of oh they're white ribbon nice people they drive s.u.v.s. the mayor is so right in in what he says i have lived in russia for the last fifteen years and i've been basically following it for twenty and the quality of the opposition has been systematically poor and it's now popular to blame putin for that but it was equally bad during the yeltsin years. and we take some of the people who've been lionized by the western press we have can spare of who's matter than i had or we have. no value who is clearly paid by the americans we have. there it's really very difficult to find process of who. can't really been taken terribly seriously. russia is not really ready for a bruce scully and i struggle to find a you know where she does need an opposition and we need political change and certainly i mean i take a counterpoint to the western press the sort of the image is ation of putin but he's no

another direction for inspiration and friendship and that was to the new revolution in russia, the bolshevik revolution, the communist revolution in hurussia, so i thk you can argue that the communist party has its origins in the paris peace conference of 1919. >> on the cover of your book about paris 1919, we just talking about it, david lloyd george who is over here on this side would be britain, in the middle clemenseaux france and next to him, woodrow wilson. if you put the current people that run those three countries in that spot and you relate that to what happened in our relationships between france, great britain, and the united states over the iraq war, help me out here. any relationship to what happened, brits creating iraq, france, were they against it or for it? >> the americans didn't want to see france and britain behaving in the middle east like colonial powers. woodrow wilson said we didn't fight this war to hand over people to be colonies of part of one power or another. and his idea was the league of nations which was very much, of course, his greatest hope for the world a

some people might have in their mind the totalitarian revolution, say, of the bolsheviks or the mouse or whatever, or the arenas. others might have friends in their mind. and how you going to find revolution, which part, has selected the you'll be in your history. and certainly you can be doing that in the arab history. so my approach to this, and that's what i think, and, that's i think, that's what i wanted to write because i wanted to say that there aren't commonalities in the arab region, as much as there are specifics. but, of course, i say much more, and for that i turn you to oliver stones get go. have you seen wall street? he says i have three words for you. read my book. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, marwan. this was great. does a very engaging talk, answered transport me onto the set of empire. i am about to open this up for questions but i will note that i'm one of the available -- but marwan will be unveiled outside for a book signing session. i will ask you to identify yourself as you ask the question. go ahead. >> i am from jordan national movement. there is very,

some people might have in their mind the totalitarian revolution of the bolsheviks or whatever or the iranians. define a revolution in how selective you are going to be. you can't be doing that in the arab system. so my approach, that is what i wanted to write. i wanted to say there are commonalities in the arab revolution as much as there are specifics. of course i say much more and i turn you to oliver stone's google. have you seen wall street ii? i have a three word for you. read my book. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, everyone. this was a very engaging stock that transported me off of the empire. i forgot to open this up for questions but went on note that marwan will be outside for a book signing. i will ask you to identify yourself as you ask the question. go ahead. >> her am from board -- jordan. we have too much what makes a revolution. al-jazeera they being included, only al-jazeera bloggers ville only al-jazeera because the new media in country, besides the government, only al-jazeera -- the second things make a difference between poverty and hungry. why? we have a bach

historians, but with the sense that these studies of the soviet-american relationship after the bolshevik revolution and the origins of 81 would be a cautionary guide to policy makers. but of course, how many policy makers are going to wade through 500 page books? that was part of the problem, so they are great to read, and they have won prizes, as you say, but they didn't have the policy impact which they hoped that the what. >> your account of his riding of the telegram i think is good for that reason. it tells you something very essential about washington and how policy is made. it's not just being analytically correct. it's not just even being in the right place at the right time. it's understanding as general petraeus joost talk during the iraq war the clock in baghdad but washington is almost set differently than the clock in whatever capital you are in and i can get you a great example of that. >> it's three things. the moment has to be right, as you say. the message has to be clear and of course sometimes george's cables are too long and the feet to be clear and the presentation h

depression was not a period of the enormous instability in this country of the kind you saw in the bolshevik revolution and the revolution of 1848 and other kinds of things. there was a general view of americans that there were a few rich people but by and large lot of people were suffering together and for a large portion of 1950s, 60s and 70s people who work for them and did well. productivity went up. wages went up. when you got a gap between productivity going up and wages not going up, some people doing very well been knitting from the increase in productivity but a lot of workers not feeling they were benefiting and feeling the system was stacked against them. that tends to create this notion of and fairness and you see this today in the attitudes of people. by most polls there's a feeling that somehow the system is not working for the average person. globalization is part of it. there's a view that globalization has caused this imbalance but it is much more the result of technology with big improvements in productivity and large numbers of people not sharing those benefits. if you loo
