Publisher Description
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] WHEN MAINE governor Paul LePage ordered the removal of a mural depicting the states labor history from the Department of Labor headquarters because it was "not in keeping with the department's pro-business goals" he perfectly (if unknowingly) captured our economic system's loss of purpose. There's a reason it's the department of labor, not the department of business. The point of capitalism used to be to create prosperous lives for the American people--most of whom labor. But today it has no point beyond the health of corporations-the means have become the end.
