The Labor Union Movement: History & Prospects
David Montgomery
For years, unions and working people were in the forefront of social change. The eight-hour day, health coverage, paid vacations and pensions were victories won by organized labor after much struggle. Today, unions are under legal and political attack. Membership, once as high as 35% of the work force, is now at 15% and declining. […]

Beyond the War Economy
Seymour Melman
TWA and Macy’s are but two of U.S. corporations to file for bankruptcy. There are daily announcements of new layoffs. Key industrial centers are turning into rust belts. Serious problems plague the economy. Instead of rational planning, we have Asia-bashing. The military sector absorbs a huge amount of money, resources, and talent. Until and unless […]
Conversion from a War Economy
Seymour Melman
Seymour Melman argues that “the decline of the U.S. as an economic industrial system is now well underway. This is a consequence of the permanent war economy.” He traces how and why this country’s ability to be competitive in the world’s marketplace is eroded and corroded by the relentlessly predatory effects of the military economy.

Native America
Russell Means
Our very first program with the dynamic Russell Means is a moving and eloquent presentation on Native America. He recounts how consciousness has changed among indigenous people but among the white European settler descendants, the old enmity and prejudices remain. For example, he says, “The Pope is going to canonize Father Serra an Indian murderer […]
Iraq: A Failure of Intelligence
Ray McGovern
When is a lie a lie? What if the Bush Administration deliberately lied about the reasons to attack Iraq? What if intelligence was “cooked”? We know for certain that documents were forged and that outdated information was plagiarized off the Internet and then presented as evidence. Remember Colin Powell’s address to the UN before the […]
Consumerism & Global Climate Change
Bill McKibben
Summer is coming earlier every year, as global temperatures continue to rise. Ocean levels are rising, too, as polar ice caps melt away. Meanwhile, the U.S economic model, with its enormous dependance on fossil fuels, proliferates around the globe. Bill McKibben’s groundbreaking book, The End of Nature, brought global warming to public attention in 1988. […]
Livable Cities: Creating a Sustainable Urban Environment
Bill McKibben
Few cities in the U.S. are immune from the impact of urban sprawl. That quiet house with a yard, that piece of the country close to the city, comes with a high price as roads, subdivisions and shopping malls gobble up farmland and open space. Then there’s the commute. It’s not uncommon for people to […]
