And this time, the EU is more isolated. The Committee is discussing copyright laws that would aid libraries and archives in fulfilling their missions in a global, digital environment.

The level of American corruption is breath-taking.

Koch, Exxon And Other Big Oil Spend $141 Million Lobbying Washington For More War

Phi Beta Iota: $141M is chump change. Beyond that are the tens of billions paid in fines for violating laws — e.g. $5B for manipulating the multi-trillion foreign exchange markets with tens of billions in illicit profit that also bankrupts the unwitting. What we have are politicians guilty of treason who sell out for chump change, while continuously legalizing high crimes against the public interest.

Worth A Look: From Slavery to Cooperative Commonwealth

03 Economy, 11 Society

This book reconstructs how a group of nineteenth-century labor reformers appropriated and radicalized the republican tradition. These ‘labor republicans' derived their definition of freedom from a long tradition of political theory dating back to the classical republics. In this tradition, to be free is to be independent of anyone else's will – to be dependent is to be a slave. Borrowing these ideas, labor republicans argued that wage laborers were unfree because of their abject dependence on their employers. Workers in a cooperative, on the other hand, were considered free because they equally and collectively controlled their work. Although these labor republicans are relatively unknown, this book details their unique, contemporary, and valuable perspective on both American history and the organization of the economy.
