This week we address the question of economic system change. Our lead story, an Economy Remix article, looks at Joe Biden’s infrastructure and family support bills and examines whether, and to what degree, the president’s $4 trillion bet might alter the nation’s “social contract” with Americans. We also feature two linked items—a podcast interview of Chuck Collins and an excerpt from his new book, The Wealth Hoarders, which lays bare how an industry of “wealth defense” professionals has created a moat to protect the ultra-rich from those who challenge their privileges. Lastly, we highlight a webinar with three solidarity economy activist-leaders, who discuss both the obstacles and opportunities for system-changing economic justice work.
