By Barry Bluestone | September/October 2013 This July, the city of Detroit—half a century ago the jewel of U.S. industry and technology, and the unofficial capital of the U.S. labor movement—declared bankruptcy.

WORKER-OWNERS AND UNIONS In the abstract, worker-owned enterprises and labor unions would appear to have much in common. Both share the goal of improving pay and working conditions. Both aim to give workers a say in the workplace. And both belong on any progressive's short list of strategies for building a more just economic system. WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT BUYING LONG-TERM BONDS? Basically, the government is purchasing long-term bonds in order to push down long-term interest rates. (While the Federal Reserve is buying both government and private bonds, here we will focus just on purchases of government bonds.) The reduction in long-term interest rates, in turn, is meant to stimulate investment and other forms ofspending.

AUSTERITY AS THE HAMMER OF NEOLIBERALISM Earlier this year, in the midst of the country’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, Bolivia’s Central Bank made an unprecedented move: Instead of continuing to be saddled with a loan of over $350 million from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), they decided to return the loan, with interest, to the IMF. FIGHTING THE WEALTH HOARDERS WITH TRANSPARENCY AND TAXES We’ve moved! Dollars & Sense 95 Berkeley St, 3rd floor Boston, MA 02116 USA T:(617)447-2177 F:(617)447-2179 NEOLIBERALISM AS NEOCOLONIALISM This article is from our series on the history of neoliberalism, solicited as part of our celebration of the 45th anniversary of Dollars & Sense.Find other contributions to the series here and here.The author wrote her contribution in November and updated it in April in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic. CLASS ANALYSIS AND ECONOMICS Class analysis predates economics. Long before modern economics emerged, ancient Greek thinkers, for example, analyzed their society by classifying people into groups by wealth. They viewed understanding the relationships between classes as crucial to improving their society and debated whether wealth should be distributed equally. A GREAT FALL: THE ORIGINS AND CRISIS OF NEOLIBERALISM Neoliberal Capitalism and the Crisis of 2008. Growing inequality, the speculative financial sector, and the series of large asset bubbles all contributed to the long economic expansions in the U.S. economy during the neoliberal era—1982–1990, 1991–2000, and 2001–2007. These trends, however, were IS SHORT-SELLING BAD FOR THE ECONOMY? So the short seller buys 100 shares for $5,000 and returns the shares to the lender. The profit is $2,500 (minus the interest or fees). If, contrary to the short seller’s expectation, the price of the stock rises, she/he suffers a loss instead of a gain. While the profits in the above example are limited to $7,500, because the price cannot THE RISE OF THE GIG ECONOMY There Are Many Types of Contingent Workers: Contingent workers are employed throughout the economy, in all industries and in virtually all occupations. Using the BLS definition, which includes independent contractors, temporary workers, on-call workers, and workers provided by contract firms, contingent workers made up over 11% of the laborforce in 2005.
WORKER-OWNERS AND UNIONS In the abstract, worker-owned enterprises and labor unions would appear to have much in common. Both share the goal of improving pay and working conditions. Both aim to give workers a say in the workplace. And both belong on any progressive's short list of strategies for building a more just economic system. INSIDE THE WORLD OF CHECK-CASHING OUTLETS According to the Department of Banking and Insurance, New Jersey CCOs took in roughly $94 million in check cashing fees in 2013. With 214 licensees statewide (at 347 locations), this revenue amounts to about $439,000 per company. The traditional check business has been declining with the increase in electronic checks and payments. A PRIMER ON HENRY GEORGE'S "SINGLE TAX" At the turn of the last century, Henry George and the "Single Tax" movement he inspired were household names. George's 1879 book Progress and Poverty captured the imagination of millions in the United States and elsewhere, who found in his ideas a blueprint for an economic system that would retain capitalism's productive dynamism and distribute its fruits more fairly.×
