Then our unions disappeared. Since then, the markets and states have worked in tandem to secure power and wealth, stripping everyday people from their communities, a sense of purpose, and their source of power: collectivism. Part of how they’ve done this, argues political economist Grace Blakeley, is create the illusion of markets and stat...2025-03-1345 minNovara LiveDonald Trump Declares International Trade War w/ Grace BlakeleyDonald Trump has declared an international trade war.

The one per cent – who control nearly half of the world’s wealth – understand this better than anyone. In capitalist democracies, corporations spend billions on political donations and lobbying to influence economic policies in line with their own interests.

De klassieke tegenstelling tussen arbeid en kapitaal is volgens haar sp...2021-10-071h 22
