Barbara Ehrenreich was an unparalleled talent, one of the best leftist authors and essayists and popularizers of socialist ideas this country has ever produced. And she did it all through some very lean years for the Left. Barbara will be greatly missed

And I saw her on Colbert!

Barbara Ehrenreich Was an Unabashed Utopian Socialist

The writer Barbara Ehrenreich, who died earlier this month, believed in a humanistic Marxism. Nowhere was this conviction more on display than in her writings on the sexism and cruelty of America’s for-profit health care system.
