  • To Save the Earth, Work Less! The Crucial Environmental Issue No One Is Talking About

    by Charles Siegel
    Americans believe we need rapid economic growth to create jobs and avoid unemployment—but that is because we do not have the choice of working shorter hours. The Dutch have a better model. By law, they can choose to work part time, which means they avoid unemployment by creating the amount of work people actually want rather than by creating more and more full-time jobs. In the course of this century, most nations of the world could emerge from poverty and have a comfortable middle-class standar... more

  • Anti-Black Prejudice in America

    by Anders Eklof

    Anti-Black Prejudice in America traces the deep historical roots of colonial/racial attitudes of Europeans as they discovered, conquered, and settled the Americas, importing and exploiting enslaved Africans as their labor force.

    by Carol M. Swain, PhD and Mike Towle
    When the US Supreme Court announced its landmark 6-3 decision to take race out of the equation for college and university admissions, it did more than just bring Affirmative Action in higher education to a screeching halt.
