Richard Wolff interview of Stanley Aronowitz
Labor unions and the Democratic Party have not provided (and will not provide) effective resistance to the forces from the right. Stanley Aronowitz explains why this is so and what needs to be be done about it.
Wolff and Aronowitz talk about the state of labor, unions and the left (from the May 31, 2013 edition of Wolff's "Economic Update" radio program)

If anyone's looking for an excellent biography or critical evaluation of the work of #sociologist C. Wright Mills (author of The #PowerElite, Causes of World War 3, etc.), I highly recommend #StanleyAronowitz's Taking It Big: C. Wright Mills & the Making of Political #Intellectuals.

It assesses Mills's major works & how he continuously worked to make public interventions, during a repressive political era in the US (1940s & 1950s), at odds w/ the Stalinist left & liberal apologists. #reading
