The US Economy Runs on Billionaire Pocket Change

2 weeks ago | jacobin.com | David Moscrop

While millions of Americans are struggling with a growing consumer debt crisis and surviving paycheck to paycheck, the wealthy are living their best lives — and increasingly so. This stark economic divide is no accident; it is the product of a rentier economy built on asset inflation. It’s also a house of cards.

When Canada’s federal election came to a close this spring, the Conservative Party — which had been up 25 points in the polls as late as January — finished second to the Liberal Party.

2 weeks ago | jacobin.com | David Moscrop

Forgive the personal aside at the outset, but it’s relevant to the point at hand. I remember buying my first smartphone. It was 2010 and I’d just moved back to Canada from South Korea, where I hadn’t been able to purchase an iPhone.

Here Lies Hudson’s Bay Company, Murdered by Private Equity

3 weeks ago | jacobin.com | David Moscrop

Canada’s oldest company is dead. Hudson’s Bay, an iconic department store chain whose first location opened in 1881, has closed its retail shops and laid off its remaining employees — over 8,300 of them. The closures bring an end to a story that stretches back to the seventeenth century and the early days of the colonial project of British North America, the fur trade, and what would later become the country of Canada.

Maybe We Need a New Word for “Inequality” Published May 28, 2025 It’s something beyond tragedy, beyond farce.

The total cost of the bill’s revenue-slashing provisions is expected to come in at $3.8 trillion over ten years. The rich will be the beneficiaries. Republicans argue the tax cuts will create wealth. It’s simple, misleading, debunked trickle-down nonsense.
