I’m pleased to announce the release of our latest issue. It features some of our finest essays yet and clocks in at over 70 pages.

With Dissent and Jacobin’s student debt panel coming up this Saturday, I visited the Occupy Student Debt Campaign’s website. The group headlines four “principles”:
1) Tuition-Free Public Higher Education2) Zero-Interest Student Loans3) Private Colleges Must Open Their Books4) Student Debt Written Off In The Spirit of Jubilee
The accompanying text notes that the campaign is “translating the precepts and working ideals of the Occupy movement into an initiative for action.
