Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback
The top five stories worth reading from this past week in worth-reading stories:
Something political this week. John McCain's healthcare plan: don't get sick.
This week in economic news, The Nation reports on how the rising gap between rich and poor threatens our common interest, and says this land is their land. The American Prospect says our modern economy NEEDS an expanded role for government, and the Financial Times of London wonders: can we reduce risk in our financial systems? Alternet looks into why oil prices are so high and details how American workers face diminishing returns.
We should ask: empire or republic? conservatism or authoritarianism?
In food and water news, water supplies will lead to real food shortages, and a small town overthrows a giant corporation to take back its water supply. Bickering will never feed the world, and everyone needs to check out National Geographic's eight-part series on the global food crisis.
Finally this week, marine dead zones are growing.
