In 1900 Americans on average lived for only 49 years and most working people died still on the job.
William Greider
If we have wealth, it will be protected from inflation and possibly even enhanced in value.
William Greider
Americans cannot teach democracy to the world until they restore their own.
William Greider
If US per capita income continues to grow at a rate of 1.5 percent a year, the country will have plenty of money to finance comfortable retirements and high-quality healthcare for all citizens, including those at the bottom of the wage ladder.
William Greider
A profound political question is suddenly on the table: Must the country continue to give precedence to private financial gain and market determinism over human lives and broad public values?
William Greider
Leaks and whispers are a daily routine of news-gathering in Washington.
William Greider
People know elections, like television commercials, are not real.
William Greider
Everyone cares for disabled people, right? What they don't care for are genuine civil rights for disabled people. MARY JOHNSON tells the tortuous, enraging story of how Congress enacted a law that instead of protecting against discrimination has turned 'the disabled' into a political punching bag.
William Greider
Folks in the bottom half of the economy are already squeezed hard. They will be bloodied and bankrupt if economic policy inadvertently induces a recession.
