“The Fed cannot reduce inequality on its own; far from it. This requires a concerted effort by the government, broadly speaking, to support a variety of efforts. These include things like raising the federal minimum wage, eliminating unfair restrictions on union organizing, increased fiscal spending on needed infrastructure with a condition that these jobs will be decent paying jobs. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and far from the question of the role of the Federal Reserve.” GovernmentJobsCoursesEffortRolesSupportConditionsNeededUnionsSpendingInequalityVarietyDecentFedsReservesUnfairMinimumInfrastructureRestrictionMinimum WageEliminatingFederal ReserveIcebergTip Of The Iceberg Author:Gerald Epstein

Print newspapers may not exist in twenty years. But good thinking and good writing about issues that need to be reported and investigated will always be needed; but where this happens, what it is called, and who pays for it may be quite different than could have been envisioned by the great journalists of the past.” PeopleThinkingNeedsWritingYearsMayHas BeensDifferentHappensWantedSchoolJobsPastPayIssuesNeededTwentiesLeavingNewspapersJournalistTitlesPrintCould Have BeenGood WritingGood ThinkingJob TitlesLeaving School Author:Howard Gardner
