City Lights announces the release of a new book by WBAI host Richard D. Wolff:
Occupy The Economy / Challenging Capitalism
Highlights:
Today's economic crisis is capitalism's worst since the Great Depression
Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, homes and healthcare.
Those in the workforce have seen their pensions, benefits and job security decline.
The federal minimum wage is so low that 1/3 of the U.S. population is in or near poverty.
As more and more Americans are impacted by the crisis, the system continues to make the very wealthy even richer. Can we do better than capitalism?
In eye-opening interviews with prominent economist Richard Wolff, David Barsamian probes the root causes of the current financial crisis, its unjust social consequences and what can and should be done to turn things around.Occupy the Economy not only clarifies the economic crisis but also points toward alternatives to capitalism that would shape a far better future for all.
Praise for Occupy the Economy:
"This is an essential read for everybody concerned with the future of the world, from academics to concerned citizens, it's also a brilliant and thoughtful manual that every activist must own."." —Thom Hartmann author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight.
