Holly Sklar
Holly Sklar is a widely published op-ed columnist and author. Her
op-eds for the Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service have appeared in
hundreds of newspapers and online outlets. Sklar is coauthor of "Raise
The Floor: Wages and Policies That Work For All Of Us," which Barbara
Ehrenreich calls, "A commanding work and powerful tool for the living
wage movement" (www.raisethefloor.org). Sklar's other books include
"Chaos or Community? Seeking Solutions, Not Scapegoats for Bad
Economics," hailed as "a tour-de-force of accessible economics and
social analysis," and "Streets of Hope: The Fall and Rise of an Urban
Neighborhood," the widely taught story of how the Dudley Street
Neighborhood Initiative is rebuilding a long impoverished Boston
community as a dynamic urban village. Sklar's first book, "Trilateralism:
The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management,"
foretold the global corporate economy before "globalization" was a
buzzword. She is coauthor of United for a Fair Economy publications such
