Essays on economic crisis, decoding dominant ideologies and creating a better world. It’s Not Over. High-tech exploitation is still exploitation. In the so-called sharing economy, it isn’t the profits that are being shared. What is being shared are ways of putting old models of weakening labor protections in new high tech wrapping. It’s now exciting and, oh yes, disruptive! That sharing economy enterprises are focal points of a new technology-stock bubble is another reason to question the hype surroundin...

Essays on economic crisis, decoding dominant ideologies and creating a better world. It’s Not Over. The high cost of private profit in health care. If that total astounds you, you are not alone.
