Friends,

As income and wealth concentrate at the top, everyone else is finding themselves struggling. More than 60 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which means they’re only one medical emergency or lost job away from poverty.

So what does the oligarchy β€” the billionaires, Wall Street mavens, and tech bros β€” do? They keep us separated and afraid of one another. They want us to blame the β€œother” for our problems.

Their greatest fear is we’ll discover our commonality and join together, and get to work busting up monopolies, raising taxes on the super-wealthy, and strengthening labor unions, cooperatives, and employee-owned businesses.

I explore this, this coming week in my Wealth and Poverty course. Please join me. Week 4 is available here on this substack, Monday.
