    Fund Drive Special: Fighting the Fracking of Our Attention
    Mar 3 2026
    It’s been called a new gold rush, but not of our external environment, which continues to be plundered, but of our internal environment — of our psyches. Historian of science D. Graham Burnett, one of the Friends of Attention, lays out what’s at stake — and how they’re organizing a movement to reclaim our attention.

  • Fund Drive Special: Against Austerity

    Fund Drive Special: Against Austerity
    Mar 2 2026
    Capitalism by its nature produces crises and, for the last century, states have responded by imposing austerity measures on the public. Economist Clara Mattei argues that austerity is actually a bludgeon to entrench elite power and repress workers’ aspirations for a more egalitarian society. She discusses its origins—and that of modern economics—during the greatest existential threat to the Western capitalist order. Please donate in support of KPFA and Against the Grain.
