“As In These Times has documented for the past forty years, the great issue of our time is our nation’s movement toward oligarchy.”
–Bernie Sanders
“To get out of the current political and economic hole, we need to understand how we ended up here. For decades, In These Times has been marshaling some of our finest minds to tackle this vital question, and here are the illuminating results of that investigation.”
–Naomi Klein
“If we can’t address the gross unfairness that’s come to mark our economic life, we probably can’t address our other problems either. These are some of the planet’s sharpest minds, and what they say must be heard.”
–Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
