U.S., French, & UK Imperialist Hands off Niger!

Trillions down the drain The truth will make some of us free. Savvy businessmen with their financial products and financial innovations brought the world economy to the brink of collapse. Closing tax havens and shadow banking, redistribution from top to bottom and food security would help revive trust and the social contract. Crisis is a chance to abandon the myths of private vices becoming public virtues, corporations as beneficent, nature as a free good, external or sink and the poor as a problem to be made invisi...

In a three-page editorial, entitled The Truth about the Deficit, The New York ...

Nobody thought this paradox was worth explaining; instead, the media’s attitude was “more good news” about the economy.
But there was other evidence of an obliterated job market hiding behind the cheerful headlines. After revising the employment numbers in 2009, The...

It is a story that, at bottom, speaks to the battle of workers to find an independent, powerful presence on the job — and to push this clout into the community to help shape the broader public realm.
Unions came into existence organically wherever capitalism developed. As soon as workers were brought together by a small number of employers and compelled to make profits for them, the em...
