A People’s Guide to Capitalism: An Introduction to Marxist Economics
Hadas Thier
Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the “experts.” Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this […]
After the Gig: How the Sharing Economy Got Hijacked and How to Win It Back
Juliet Schor
When the “sharing economy” launched a decade ago, proponents claimed that it would transform the experience of work—giving earners flexibility, autonomy, and a decent income. It was touted as a cure for social isolation and rampant ecological degradation. But this novel form of work soon sprouted a dark side: exploited Uber drivers, neighborhoods ruined by […]
Rethinking America’s Past: Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States in the Classroom and Beyond
Robert Cohen, Sonia Murrow

Men Explain Things To Me
Rebecca Solnit
Rebecca Solnit’s comic, scathing essay, “Men Explain Things to Me,” went viral and inspired the word mansplaining. She took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the […]
Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities
Rebecca Solnit

In it, she makes a […]
Whose Story Is This?: Old Conflicts, New Chapters
Rebecca Solnit
“In these times of political turbulence and an increasingly rabid and scrofulous commentariat, the sanity, wisdom and clarity of Rebecca Solnit’s writing is a forceful corrective. Whose Story Is This? is a scorchingly intelligent collection about the struggle to control narratives in the internet age.” —Alex Preston, The Guardian New feminist essays for the #MeToo era from the […]
