The U.S. Economy: Hijacked by Debt Bubbles and Money in Politics
Why haven't we bounced back from the Great Recession? Why do we still struggle with declining real wages and high unemployment? Why are there so many people with underwater mortgages and exploding student debt?
Why does Congress discuss slashing Social Security & Medicare as solutions for economic recovery?
Randy, a member of the Seattle's Getting Money Out of Politics group, presents a framework for understanding why the recent economic crisis and current global depression are manifestations of the parasitic process of Financialization.He explains how, by turning assets like our homes and educations into tradable commodities, the financialized economy transfers wealth to those at the top of the economic pyramid, widening inequality in America and plunging more and more people into poverty. What's the endgame of this process? How can we organize to fight back? Join the discussion and explore together what we can do to stand against austerity and budget cuts, to help our families and our neighborhoods, and to recover democracy.
