Fwd: Two excellent articles

---- Forwarded message ---------
From: John H

It's no secret that the Trump administration has brought fascism in its American guise out from under the covers over the past two years, but how many really understand just how serious this is in the general scheme of things.  Here, in the first attachment, Paul Street reviews material from the newly released book by Jason Stanley, How Fascism Works:  The Politics of Us and Them.  Frankly, not to be concerned about this turn in American politics is not to be aware of the reality around one. 

 

The second attachment is a review of Michael Hudson's new book And Forgive Them Their Debts: Lending, Foreclosure, and Redemption from Bronze Age Finance to the Jubilee Year.  If you have ever read any of Hudson's exceptional work you will certainly want to obtain this new addition to his collection of important discussion of how money works and how nations should manage its use in society.  I strongly recommend any of his writings as he is probably the world's foremost expert on money and debt as well as the political manipulation thereof.
