		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted on Jspot.org. In the United States during the 1930s, revolution was in the air. With the stock market crash and the ensuing Great Depression, the broken economy was failing most Americans. This gave rise to a spectrum of responses, providing communists and socialists on the left and fascists on the right with a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently talking with some friends who work at the Chicago Board of Trade. Hearing the opinions voiced by Occupy Wall Street protesters, the traders agreed that they’d seen disturbing changes within their industry. While they might have written off criticisms 15 years ago, they’ve since watched the financial sector become more and more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last five years have been grim and isolating ones for immigrants and working people, right? Overall, this may be the case, but if you talk with organizers at Fuerza Laboral, an independent workers&#8217; center in Rhode Island founded in 2006, you might get a different impression. Despite difficult times, the group has taken on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article was originally published on Truthout.org for Amy&#8217;s Walking the Walk series.  No force did more to build the American middle class than organized labor. In recent decades, however, unions have been decimated. Despite concerted efforts to turn the tide, the movement now represents only 7 percent of workers in the private sector.
