We will examine several of the critical issues facing the United States. Increasing poverty, rising inequality, a diminishing middle class, the decline of unionization, a public education system under attack, the decline of the commons, unlimited money pouring into the electoral system and the disenfranchisement of large numbers of voters are all manifestations of a society in crisis. Course materials will be supplied. Instructors: Larry Berlin and John Rowntree. This class for adults over 50 meets Wednesdays through November 16th. No class on October 12.
