This week’s Economic Democracy newsletter sheds light on how the wealth of a few affects the many. First, a piece on the “asset manager economy” looks at the three investment firms that run the world. Next, a piece in our series with Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) shows us how Black activists are organizing against the housing crisis caused by private equity firms and exploitative landlords. We also have a piece on why work requirements for public benefit programs are bad for people and the economy. Finally, our “We Stood Up” column features a caregiver on how he and his coworkers fought back against stolen wages.
