Wall Street
Doug Henwood
Wall Street is the financial center of the U.S. and perhaps the world. What goes on in a few square blocks of lower Manhattan may determine the fate not just of individuals but of entire nations. The stock market has been booming, yet, as Doug Henwood points out, the gains are not widely shared. Stock […]
Economy Up, People Down
Doug Henwood
It’s a strange phenomenon. Corporate profits are soaring while the average worker is putting in more and more hours and earning less and less. Productivity has increased while wages have been stagnant or declining for the last twenty years. The percentage of corporate income devoted to payrolls is hovering near a record low. CEO salaries […]
Guatemala: Bridge of Courage
Jennifer Harbury
Guatemala is the largest and most populous of the Central American republics. It was the center of the great Mayan civilization. The country was conquered by Spain in 1524 and remained a colony for more than three centuries. A pivotal event in its modern history was the 1954 CIA- sponsored coup which overthrew its democratically […]
Revolutionary Ecology: The Legacy of Judy Bari
Noelle Hanrahan
Labor and Earth First! activist Judi Bari organized non-violent mass actions to stop Louisiana Pacific, Georgia Pacific and Pacific Lumber from liquidating Northern California’s redwood forest.

The human cost of these sanctions has been staggering. Millions of Iraqis are without food, clean water and medicine. At least […]
Iraq: The Impact of Sanctions and U.S. Policy
Denis Halliday, Phyllis Bennis
When it comes to Iraq and sanctions, “moving the goal posts is the name of the game,” says Middle East expert Phyllis Bennis. Sanctions have resulted in hundreds of thousands deaths due to lack of proper nutrition, medicine and clean water. Bennis and Halliday discuss a range of topics, including the history of U.S.-Iraq relations, […]
Beyond Seattle: What Is To Be Done
Robin Hahnel
The World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle not only drew trade officials from 135 countries but also tens of thousands of protesters representing non-governmental organizations, labor unions, environmental groups, farmers and citizen activists. The demonstrators shook the streets and rocked the corporate suites. The WTO ministers couldn’t decide on anything, and the talks collapsed. Was […]
GATT: The Hidden Agenda
Herbert Gunther
The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is the Geneva-based organization that sets international tariff and trade rules. It has been called “the economic teeth of the new world order.” Scant information is available and little attention is paid to the workings of GATT, yet its impact, particularly in agriculture, labor and the environment, […]
Educational Opportunity & Democracy
Lani Guinier
In feudal societies, education is the special preserve of the privileged. In democracies, it is considered a universal right and a ticket to success. What happens to democratic ideals when some students are dealt winning hands based not on the cards, but on other factors, like race, class and gender? Discussions of these issues are […]
