An interesting and informative opinion piece provided by Dr David Batstone, co-founder and president of Not For Sale, and professor at the School of Management at the University of San Francisco, detailing how the very real forms of bondage contradicts our “sense of modern history and moral progress”.

The American capitalist system is simply incapable of abiding any sustained protest to the authority of the 1% who rule this country.
