Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly centers on the conflict between wealth and democracy. We begin with an article on the growth of billionaire wealth and its consequences. Next, our series with Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) concludes with a vision for liberatory economic policy. Then, a story from José Garcia of the Ford Foundation on how unions restrain plutocracy and advance democracy. Finally, we feature an interview with journalist Hamilton Nolan on power, inequality, and the labor movement—the latest in our ongoing series of “Truth to Power” conversations.
