Asking the Economy's Most Basic Question The benefits of the booms of recent decades never "trickled down" to the middle and lower classes because they were not designed to. The growing gap between the very rich and everyone else was a signal that a different kind of economy was now in place, but the big picture was ignored by self-serving Wall Street interests and a complicit news "industry." Nowhere was the most fundamental question asked: "What is an economy for?"

Birds of Market Deregulation Home to Roost? Today, some 30 years into a regime of market deregulation advocated by Milton Friedman and like-minded economists at the University of Chicago, speculators are once again at play in a fool's paradise. Much of what passes for business on Wall Street today is the exact opposite of productive contribution to the economy.

The Incredible Lightness of the Compact Flourescent Bulb? Replacing a wasteful light bulb with one with a smaller environmental "footprint" is a small step which when repeated millions of times will have a positive impact. But will such a campaign move us closer to the necessary revelation of scale, or serve as a distraction from the real level of action required to provide our civilization a soft landing?

Bush Prefers Masters' Voice to Iraq Study Group As a member of the privately funded American Enterprise Institute, Frederick Kagan enjoys much more influence with this president than the congressionally funded United States Institute for Peace, which facilitated the Iraq Study Group's investigations. More than two dozen of its alumni have served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions.

Family Holiday Letter Encourages Fresh Thinking Unfortunately the saying "we vote with our dollars" - which means millionaires, and especially billionaires, rule - is true today. That doesn't mean that this holiday season, we can't begin to free ourselves from the clutches of non-sustainability and debt even while we help bring into being the kind of world in which we'd like to live.

Is Impeachment Really Off the Table, Nancy? While it would be a crucial mistake for Pelosi's party to fail in their legal obligation to uphold the Constitution, a greater tragedy would be if We the People sell ourselves, and democracy, short.

American Elections Stand in the Way of Democracy While the pundits speculate over exactly what the voters said in the elections of 2006, let's take a moment to consider what our elections should, but don't, uphold and refresh: democracy itself.

FCC Revelations Have Deep Implications for Democracy A scandal worth our attention. The Rebublican-controlled Federal Communications Commission is under new leadership but the song's the same: relax restrictions that keep giant media corporations from tightening their grip on democracy's information sources.
