• Solving Our Unemployment Crisis presentation, April 19, 2016 — Bill Mitchell
• Jeremy Corbyn's speech to Annual Conference 2016 — Labour Party
• Wendy Brown on Education — Institute for New Economic Thinking: One thing [neoliberalism has] done of course is make education increasingly contoured toward the question of return on investment. That is, very few students of working class, let along poor, or even middle class means, can look at a college edution — as we did in my time, your time — as something that has to do with expanding your capacities as a human being, and your capacities as a citizen. Instead, the question is how much money do you put in for how much you will get out as a potentially higher earner at the other end.
• How Stupid Laws and Benevolent Dictators can Ruin the Decentralized Web, too — Cory Doctorow at the Decentralized Web Summit, 8th June 2016: We must never, ever, give corporations or the state the legal power to silence people who know true things about the systems we entrust our lives, safety, and privacy to. These are the foundational principles: computers obey their owners; true facts about risks to users are always legal to talk about. And I charge you to be hardliners on these principles, to be called fanatics. If they're not calling you puritan for these principles, you're not pushing hard enough.
