  • Interview with KGNU: Ghosts of Tom Joad

    July 20, 2014

    Tags: interview, piketty, Radio
    Posted in: #99Percent, Economy, Minimum Wage




    I recently spoke with KGNU‘s Claudia Cragg about my personal work experience at a store I call “Bullseye,” in the minimum wage Big Box economy and how this led to Ghosts of Tom Joad: A Story of the #99Percent.


    Ghosts looks up close at the drastic effects of social and economic changes in America between WWII and the decline of the blue collar middle class in the 1980’s right up to today.

    Have a listen to the full interview.

      BEFORE they became ghosts. They just might have done something about it in 1931..like revolt. W

      On the other hand, given ‘murkan exceptunalism like this..well..it’s highly unlikely..
