: The Living New Deal is documenting and mapping the living legacy of FDR’s New Deal, which put millions of Americans back to work in the depths of the Great Depression. The New Deal left a vast legacy of public works—libraries, courthouses, bridges, roads, trails, murals and much more—that are still serving America today.

: The global economy is facing a ‘triple crunch’. It is a combination of a credit-fuelled financial crisis, accelerating climate change and the looming peak in oil production. These three overlapping events threaten to develop into a perfect storm, the like of which has not been seen since the Great Depression. To help prevent this from happening, and to lay the foundations of the economic systems of the future, we need a Green New Deal.

* [https://theintercept.com/2018/04/01/federal-job-guaranteed-jobs-program/ A GUARANTEED JOBS-FOR-ALL PROGRAM IS GAINING TRACTION AMONG 2020 DEMOCRATIC HOPEFULS] | Kate Aronoff | The Intercept | April 1 2018, 5:00 a.m.
: A federal job guarantee is exactly what it sounds like. “The private sector does not absorb stigmatized workers — those that are formerly incarcerated, black, disabled — at the same rate that it does nonstigmatized workers. A job guarantee would enable workers, particularly at the lower end of the labor market, but throughout the labor market too. It would remove the threat of unemployment and of being destitute,” [explained Darrick Hamilton, The New School]. By making living-wage work available to anyone who wants it, the program would also establish a de facto wage floor, forcing private sector employers to match the kinds of wages, working conditions, and benefits available to workers through the public sector. “It gets rid of involuntary unemployment altogether,” Hamilton said.
