Eric Schurenberg: Economic Recovery? History Says No Way. Not Yet.

Both the boom and its panicky finale fit neatly into a long, human tradition of greed, self-deception and financial folly. We're human. We can't help it. Sigh.

Sen. Arlen Specter: The Government Needs to Take the Reins In Job Creation

Recent signs of recovery and those who say the recession is over are cold comfort for the millions who are still searching for work or have stopped looking. Their world is bound by paying the bills and raising families.

Scott Paul: Building the New Economy

Some of us warned this day would come. We knew an economic strategy predicated on replacing wage growth with debt and credit to maintain a certain standard of living was doomed to fail.

Another Causecast-linked group, Operation USA www.opusa.orgg) is one of "America's Best 100 Charities" (Worth Magazine, 2006) and the number one rated "Exclusively Privately Funded Charity" (Charity Navigator, Oct. 2008). Operation USA splits its efforts evenly between helping America's community clinics deliver care to 47 million medically uninsured Americans and perhaps even more underinsured; and, delivering aid to international disasters and "smart aid" development projects like micro-finance for poor rural women in many countries. Well worth reading through the group's site and getting in touch.

I think it's disappointing that concepts of new-media is out of the ordinary for nonprofits: the stereotype of revenue and action coming from mail-in checks and streetcorner-petition signing are so much less effective than thinking through the problem and connecting with the people who can help.
