** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly offers a range of stories that examine the role of institutions in advancing economic justice. We begin with an article on Striketober that demonstrates why having strong internal democratic structures makes an enormous difference in how well unions as institutions support the rank-and-file. A second feature looks at how nonprofit universities have taken on de facto government authority, with anti-democratic results. We also include an article on the decades-long effort to build an ecosystem of institutions that can help Appalachia transition to a just economy. Lastly, a Tiny Spark podcast interview with author Eyal Press discusses how the institution of the workplace is structured to keep unpleasant jobs out of public view.
