Today‚Äôs economic institutions, from the Fed to the IMF, wield immense power over monetary policy yet are shielded from democratic scrutiny. Why should we accept a system that delegates crucial decisions that impact our lives to institutions in which we have no say?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e All the major problems today‚Äîfrom a healthcare system that prioritizes profits over well-being to the rise of ultranationalism‚Äîare rooted in an economic system that fails to serve the common good.
