I'm sure the money behind the recent attacks on...

There are holes all over our country where our money and our jobs are flowing straight through the earth down to China. Call it the China Syndrome, but they weren't caused by reactor meltdowns. We dug them ourselves, and they are all over the place. There's a hole...

In the run up to the Republican Convention, we've heard everything and nothing. We've heard Newt, Mitt and Ron go on about issues that have little if any impact on jobs and national security, but not a single word about the real reason we have massive and permanent unemployment. We've...

Current TV is reporting that Nike secretly bought or secured rights to a Tokyo park that many homeless Japanese have turned into a sanctuary. According to the story, Nike is evicting the homeless people to build a branded park designed to promote their image and products. Many Westerners...

I'm flying back from Nairobi. I had the privilege of making a presentation to a group of African sustainable business leaders. There was a passion in this small, but engaged meeting, a passion that makes one think of a positive future, rather than obsessing about AIDS, poverty, war and corruption,...

Business may not be so great these days, but the growing awareness of environmental and social issues is creating opportunities for ecopreneurs and their new products and services. In many cases, new green brands are entering and competing in markets that have been dominated by large multi-nationals for decades. This...
