Alternatives to austerity, the machinations of ALEC, new work and new economy, and new neighborhoods

Many thanks to all you listeners who contributed to KBOO during the Spring Membership Drive! 

Clayton Morgareidge hosts this edition of the Old Mole which deals with austerity policies in Greece and around the world, how the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) writes the right-wing agenda into law, how the underground economy is becoming the model for a "new" economy, and how City Repair and the Village Building Convergence are changing lives and neighborhoods in Portland.
