Robert Hockett As a retired, Federal Employee and Federal Union Leader, his appointees to the NLRA and FLRA enabled the Unions to organize and become a voice at the table at the worksite and politically. Extremely difficult to please everyone all the time even the macro economically literate.

I highly recommend both David Graeber book, Debt the first 5,000 years and the works Michael Hudson on the debt, which David's are based on. They are mind shifting books.
Fantastic book, reframes my conception of how our economy works. Paradigm shift that can rejuvenate our political debates for the better. It also only shifts our problems, but its a start. We should worry about inflation & productivity rather than deficits. Stephanie Kelton 9/10
