A better economy may start with the relationships that are forged within communities. It is these kinds of links that can lead to wider policy changes that are also necessary to create a new kind of economy that lifts up the well being of more people.

Before every election, Americans are exposed to thousands of political messages. Information about who is paying for all that speech is vital to our ability to assess it and make decisions about which candidates we want to support.

By the time I had finished reading her email, I wished I had a job to give the lovely young woman, but I didn't, and I wrote her as much. She wrote me back. In her email she told me that she was actually already working for Twitter. Huh?!

A friend wrote me to say how troubled she was by this stunner from her 19-year-old: The freshman at a private liberal-arts college told her mom that cheating on exams was standard procedure at school, and that she fully expected that cheating would be an everyday thing once she got into the workplace, too.
