What We Are Reading (Patreon)

Hope everyone is well. A few interesting pieces this week and a lecture. The first piece highlights the danger of a return to pre-crisis economics, something the working-class cannot afford. The second piece is an important analysis about the retreat of finance in the US and out of the third world, leaving many countries with little options to finance critical activities in the crisis. 

Lastly, I've found an interesting lecture on Gramsci. The way he has been embraced in the American higher-education system in the US would make you think that he wasn't a communist revolutionary. We shouldn't let this watering-down occur with a thinker who has much to teach our movements today.
