Activist Raj Patel discusses his new book, "The Value of Nothing: How to Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy," with radio's "On Point" producer, John Wihbey. Raj Patel, a long-time visionary in issues of global development, points to the inadequacy of price as a measure of value, and urges us to look at the larger environmental, political, and social cost of the goods we consume.
