spacer Think Again…

Poverty is not an accident.

1492 marks the birth of modern times when the conquistadors violently extracted gold and other natural resources.

Since then, our economic system has been financed by the poor by forcing them to give up their land and access to natural resources, then through unfair trade, debt repayment and unjust taxes on labor and consumption.

This system was carefully built and maintained by the free market policies, resource monopolies and structural adjustment programs by the World Bank and the IMF.

:: AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL
Who's Afraid of Economic Rights?
Is an adequate living a human right? It is, and many in the U.S. are stepping up to claim it.

Path to a New Economy
Any economic rescue program must result in systemic change that doesn’t replicate the current mistakes. These YES! articles point the way to the kind of economy that will truly serve people and communities.

Responsible Wealth
People with wealth who are worried about the division of the nation along class lines and the scapegoating of the poor are calling for some new, fairer ground rules.
