  • After Occupy

    Economic Democracy for the 21st Century

    by Tom Malleson ...
    These days, it is easy to be cynical about democracy. Even though there are more democratic societies now (119 and counting) than ever before, skeptics can point to low turnouts in national elections, the degree to which money corrupts the process, and the difficulties of mass participation in complex systems as just a few reasons why the system is flawed. The Occupy movement in 2011 proved that ... Read more

    Reeducation, Resistance, and the People

    by Aminda M. Smith ...

    Between the Great War and Pearl Harbor, conservative labor leaders declared themselves America’s “first line of defense” against Communism.

  • The Philosopher and His Poor

    by Jacques Rancière ...

    What has philosophy to do with the poor? If, as has often been supposed, the poor have no time for philosophy, then why have philosophers always made time for them? Why is the history of philosophy—from Plato to Karl Marx to Jean-Paul Sartre to Pierre Bourdieu—the history of so many figures of the poor: plebes, men of iron, the demos, artisans, common people, proletarians, the masses? Why have ... Read more
