David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
Over at TPMCafe, I make the point that when it comes to economic policy in general - and trade policy in specific - it is important for progressives to remember where we should be coming at these issues FROM. Too often, we focus on macroeconomic indicators instead of real-life consequences - and in doing that, we play right into the hands of the economic powers that be.
I am the co-chairperson of the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a position I took after finishing a stint as a fellow at the Center for American Progress. I am also a Senior Editor at the In These Times magazine, and a writer for Working Assets, and a twice-a-week guest on the Al Franken Show. I have just completed a book for Random House's Crown Publishers entitled "Hostile Takeover" - it will be released Spring 2006. I also write a bi-weekly section for the Nation Magazine called Permanent Minority vs. Towards the Majority about Democrats failures and successes. For more on what I do, see this Washington Post story about my blog, this Molly Ivins column about my work, or this Newsweek profile about me.
