A moral economy for our own time would certainly take on the unbridled accumulation of wealth at the expense of the majority (and the planet).

Finding Freedom in Handcuffs

By Chris Hedges

I placed myself at the feet of these commodity traders to call for justice because the dead, and those who are dying in slums and refugee camps across the planet, could not make this journey.

The Pressure Is On: Thousands Encircle White House, Tell Obama to Reject Keystone Pipeline

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Activists of all ages descended on the White House, including more than 1,000 young people. After surrounding the White House, a youth-led breakout march snaked through downtown Washington, DC, carrying the momentum of the Occupy movement along with an inflatable black pipeline replica as long as a city block.'

The One Percent Turns Class War Into Generational War

Dean Baker, Truthout: 'There is a commonly repeated view in Washington policy circles, based on no evidence whatsoever, that there will be a disaster if the supercommittee comes up empty handed. This means that members of the committee are feeling great pressure from the 1 percent to produce a package with big cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.'

Poland Steps Into Arab Spring

Robert Stefanicki, Inter Press Service: 'Since mid-year, when Poland took over EU presidency, Polish initiatives aimed at North Africa have gathered speed. Many Polish VIPs now take the flights to Tunis, Cairo, Tripoli. And the representatives of the Arab revolutionaries are being invited to Warsaw.'

Beyond the Limits of Neoliberal Higher Education

Henry A. Giroux, Campaign for the Public University: 'The global reach and destructiveness of neoliberal values and disciplinary controls are not only evident in the widespread hardships and human suffering caused by the economic recession of 2008, they are also visible in the ongoing and ruthless assault on the social state, workers, unions, higher education, students, and any vestige of the social at odds with neoliberal values.'

The GOP War on Plaintiff Rights

Brad Friedman, Truthout: 'Yeah, I know, the GOP is at War against citizens rights to do just about everything that isn t US Chamber of Commerce approved these days. That s just one of the reasons citizens are finally taking to the streets to fight back. One of the ongoing Republican Wars getting very little attention is their War on the right of citizens to sue huge corporations for negligence, malfeasance, and other wrongdoing.'

Time for the Supercommittee to Fail

Robert Borosage, Campaign For America s Future: 'I have great respect for each of you individually, but collectively I am worried you are going to fail - fail the country,' former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles, a co-chairman of President Obama s fiscal commission, sternly told the congressional supercommittee last week. Elite pressure is building on the committee to reach for a 'grand bargain' to cut trillions out of the budget deficits over the next 10 years. Last week 100 House members, including 40 Republicans, dispatched a letter urging 'a big, grand bargain' with 'all options' - code for tax hikes - 'on the table.'
