Thomas Piketty, Harvard University Press: Modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have made it possible to avoid the Marxist apocalypse but have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality, says Piketty in this excerpt from his blockbuster book "Capital in the Twenty-First Century".

Colleges Are Buying Stuff They Can't Afford and Making Students Pay for It
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23980-colleges-are-buying-stuff-they-cant-afford-and-making-students-pay-for-it
Michelle Chen, The Nation: A new study on debt across the higher education system reveals that the massive debts borne by both students and their institutions has climbed to about $45 billion per year. A key factor in the rising cost of college is driven by expenditures largely unrelated to either the quality of the education, teaching or maintenance of campus facilities.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23984-new-york-times-new-editor-buries-important-story-on-private-equity-fee-shenanigans-on-holiday-weekend
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: Anyone in the political or public relations game knows that the best way to make a disclosure but minimize its impact is to do so on the day before the long holiday weekend.

Global Food Security Needs States to Ally With Family Farmers
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23987-global-food-security-needs-states-to-ally-with-family-farmers
Sylvia Kay, TripleCrisis: Desmond Tutu once said, "If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." When it comes to agriculture and food, the elephant is agribusiness.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23988-class-war-thailands-military-coup

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/23981-nearly-half-of-americans-dont-care-whos-going-to-congress-and-thats-a-bad-thing
Robin Marty, Care2: Midterms can make or break a country, as we saw during the 2010 GOP sweep. But voter apathy is at a high, according to a new poll. Thirty-one percent of voters said they don't care which party controls Congress.
A Bailout Botched by Centrists
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/23985-a-bailout-botched-by-centrists
Nicole Collins Bronzan, ProPublica: The appointment of Timothy Geithner was the worst political mistake Obama made, according to author Jesse Eisinger. They "misread the moment" and missed a chance at instituting a series of regulations like in the wake of the Great Depression.
Paul Krugman | Free Markets Are Not Always the Best Medicine
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/23979-free-markets-are-not-always-the-best-medicine
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: One thing people surely shouldn't do is cling to the idealized free-market model when it makes lousy predictions. Maybe you could still justify treating health as a normal market if free markets in health care seemed, in practice, to work well. But they don't.
