UNCOMMON
SENSE Series:
A continuing series of short papers distributed widely by the
Coalition. Written by economists, sociologists, historians, lawyers
and others active in social change movements, Uncommon Sense seeks
to debunk, in language available to the average person, the myths
and assumptions that politicians and their economic
advisors use to keep us from adopting policies that would increase
employment and wages. These papers can be used as handouts at
conferences, for college and high school classes, as articles
in local newsletters, as the basis for "Letters to the Editor," radio
and T.V. interviews or talks with your elected representatives,
and as inserts in newsletters of your religious, labor, community
or other organization. Single copies are available from the Coalition
office at $1 each or a complete packet for $15.
