Retargeting Iran
David Barsamian, Ervand Abrahamian, Noam Chomsky, Nader Hashemi, Azadeh Moaveni, Trita Parsi
“ReTargeting Iran is not a travelogue about Iran but a facts-only objective account of where America has gone wrong, stupidly wrong—yet again—in its foreign policy, dominated by a mythical belief that Iran has an active nuclear weapons program. All one needs to know about the threat is this: as of mid-2020, the United States had […]

Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance
Noam Chomsky
Covid-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands. How does politics shape our world, our lives and our perceptions? How much of ‘common sense’ is actually driven by the ruling […]
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
No introductory work of American history has had more influence over the past forty years than Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States, which since its publication in 1980 has sold more than three million copies. Zinn’s iconoclastic critique of American militarism, racism, and capitalism has drawn bitter criticism from the Right, most recently […]

The Indispensable Zinn: The Essential Writings of the “People’s Historian”
Howard Zinn
When the historian Howard Zinn died in early 2010, millions mourned the loss of one of our foremost intellectual and political guides: a historian, activist, and truth-teller who, in the words of Bob Herbert, “peel[ed] back the rosy veneer of much of American history.” Designed to highlight Zinn’s most important writings, The Indispensable Zinn includes excerpts from […]

You Can’t be Neutral on a Moving Train
Howard Zinn
