Shared Economic Growth: Links of interest from across the political spectrum

I have retained a number of old items because I think it is useful to note that we at SharedEconomicGrowth.org were predicting in 2005 that American policies undermining our competitiveness would crash our economy by undermining middle class buying power, which at that time was clearly already artificially propped up by unsustainable borrowing. The fundamental trends have not changed since, but they have grown worse.
