    "Understanding Socialism," my latest book with , tackles the taboos and unveils the often hidden histories of socialism, but most importantly it offers a way forward: a socialism built on democracy in the workplace. It's available here:

  2. Public subsidizes private car industry: their profits depend on our (1) buying the car, & (2) paying taxes used to subsidize private car transport system. Mass transit would be far cheaper, cause less death/injury, pollute less, & burn less fossil fuel.

  3. Yet another way capitalism corrupts democracy. Rich pro-Trump donors get tax deductions for money given away in African-American communities for votes. Do they wrap the money in the American flag?

  4. For the world's poor (the majority of the population), a top priority is economic growth to escape poverty. Throughout last 25 years, China's economic growth rate is 2-3 times faster than US. Hence its global importance. Immense global changes flow from this growth difference.

  6. Chipotle got caught selling food that sickened many; that hurt profits. Now fined for violating child labor laws. Was the firm trying to offset losses from abusing customers by profiting from the abuse of its workers? Is that how capitalism works?

  7. Harvard says "hard work" wont get you treated fairly at work. Finds that "life is unfair." Offers tips to get an "edge." Nothing about capitalism as a systemic problem. By advocating an individual solution for a social problem Harvard serves the system.

  8. Still more evidence of BAD condition of US economy. Yelp Economic Avg, measuring local economies across US, shows 1.3% economic decline in 2019 + more decline coming. Parroting false Trump/GOP claims of a "great" economy only serves his re-election effort.

  10. The real costs of capitalism's profit-drive show up (today yet again) in the example of Wells Fargo bank's systematic & gross abuse of its workers & customers for yrs. Other big banks acted similarly, but so far only this bank's guilty bosses got fined.

  12. My latest piece on is about politicians who facilitate tax reductions for banks, big corporations, and the wealthiest individuals likewise then facilitate government borrowing money from them.

  13. Mainstream US leaders' task: manage capitalism's worsening inequality, instability, ecology, injustice. They deflect anger away from system, blame immigrants, foreigners, the poor, women, non-whites, etc. Trump/GOP do it harshly; most Dems do it too, but less harshly.

  14. Capitalism is "great" vs no it isn't. On the pro side, Trump/GOP + most mass media + traditional Dems. On the con side, a huge mass of the world's people.

  15. Capitalists usually split: profiteers from free trade vs profiteers from protection (tariffs, etc.). Each side "donates" to politicians for policy it wants & tells public that policy is "better for everyone." But whoever wins their fight will keep ripping off employees.

  16. Imposing work requirements on SNAP (food stamp) recipients cuts government spending on the neediest & does nothing to boost employment. It is a cruel &ineffective policy, but it may be an ideological shout-out to the Trump/GOP base aimed at re-election.

  17. Momentary honesty of Trump ex-henchmen: former chief economic advisor admits Trump's tariffs (1) "totally hurt" US, & (2) did not change outcome of US relationship w/ China. Cohn is not running for re-election & so does not need the fake theatrics.

  18. In US, new parents w/ insurance pay $4,500 per birth. In Finland's health insurance system, it's $60. Those out-of-pocket expenses nearly doubled in the US over the last decade. More reasons why the young in the US reject claims of a "great" economy.

  19. "With the new focus on workplace democratization, socialists are in a good position to contest the 21st century’s struggle among economic systems." Read an excerpt of my latest book with , "Understanding Socialism," in

  20. As capitalism's history shows, when one major economy shifts from relative free-trade to more protectionism, others often follow. Trump/GOP shift pushed China & now EU to more protectionism too. Conflict, global economic slowdown, & war often follow.

  21. Charles Dicken's conditions of early capitalist horrors underpin Brexit-obsessed UK. Realities of British capitalism are momentarily exposed. But political theater w/ media complicity pretends that Europe, not capitalism, is what the UK should leave.
