Comic book explains why the Transpacific Partnership serves no one but the ultra-rich

In 2012 I reviewed Economix, a terrific cartoon history of economics by Michael Goodwin and illustrated by Dan E. Burr. (After reading it, I bought a few copies of the book to give as gifts.)

Today, Michael emailed to let me know that he and Dan have posted an excellent and free 27-page online comic called The Transpacific Partnership and “Free Trade,” which describes how the negotiated-in-secret treaty is a “global coup that’s disabling our democracies and replacing them with multinationals and Wall Street,” and is making the US “police state more extensive, more restrictive, and global.”
