ANDREW ROSS is the author of many books including Celebration and Nice Work if You Can Get it: Life and Labor in Precarious Times. He is interested in the new Student Debt Moratorium Proposal. "Debt renders impossible many of our political aspirations. In this country, debt historically has been promoted as a way of supressing the radical potential of an active citizenry. Historically, home ownership and all the debtorship tht it entails, was promoted in the 1920s and 1930s as a way of staving off socialism. More recently, student debt has served a similar purpose."
