KunstlerCast #117: Berlin
History, The Prankster
Released: June 24, 2010.
James Howard Kunstler reports on his recent trip to Berlin, Germany...where everybody knows his name. Thirteen years ago, JHK traveled to Berlin to research a chapter for his third nonfiction book, The City in Mind. On his recent trip, he discovered that the place has healed remarkably over the past decade. Of course he had to go check in on the Führerbunker which is now the site of one of city's few surface parking lots. History is a great prankster and therefore it's no surprise to Kunstler that while the U.S. won the war against Germany, its cities looked bombed out. While Germany lost the war and its cities are beautiful, civilized places. Listeners end the show with their reactions to the BP oil spill.
