Resource of the Month: Resources for a New Economy

As the Occupy Wall Street/Occupy Together movement and other forces challenge the notion that our current economic and social order is working in the public interest, and raise the demand that it be substantially overhauled or replaced, it will be helpful for movement participants to be well grounded in the work already done by the nation's leading progressive economists and social thinkers. These highly educated experts have demonstrated by their life's work that they have very valuable insights as to what is wrong with the existing order and what kinds of economic and social changes would best serve the public interest. Below, listed all in one place, are some of the best of our nation's economic thinkers, social critics and social architects. They rarely receive their due in the corporate media - but that in itself is another symptom about what is wrong! We also include a few organizational websites devoted to economic and social progress.
