So what’s the big picture to today’s events? Yes, there’s enormous wealth inequality. Yes, the economy still isn’t producing wealth for the vast majority of us. Yes, there’s Wall Street still making huge profits off screwing over customers. Yes, students are saddled with a trillion dollars in loans. But WHY is all of this happening? Absent of the political will to do this – how will it get done? Through mass rallies like we’re seeing today? OR do things have to get really badHere with some answers is Prof. Richard Wolff – professor at New School University and author of numerous books including, “Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It”
An urgent fundraising appeal: 6 Days to raise $36,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (6 days left).
