So, why did we choose tha benjamins as a theme for our dp number three? It seemed so obvious at first. While nothing gets our eyes widening like the prospect of making some cash, the chase for green can be suffocating. with anxieties and emotions swirling up around us every day. We started thinking: Just how much is tangible wealth linked to our psychological well-being? Will money solve everything? The more we talked about it, the less clear our answers became. Chasing paper = chasing our tails. Other questions emerged: How is having cash different from having wealth? Or owning property? How does class intersect with other aspects of daily life? Answers started coming in our contributors' words. Check out "the Real Rules of Attraction" to find out how class works its way into the bedroom. Or sit with Junot Díaz's wonderful quote about how hating on capitalism is like hating on a flat tire. In this issue, we also turn the spotlight onto those who've got the wealth (Sony, American Apparel, Louis Vuitton) and also onto those who don't ("The Politics of Other People Washing Your Clothes"). The more change we tried to find jingling around in the bottoms of our bags and pockets, the more we got inspired by artists like Yunsook Park who saved cashed-in lotto tickets from her first job in New York to make beautiful art, and musicians like Kudu and Boots Riley who are trying to move the revolution through our boomboxes. And there's so much more in these forty-eight pages. Please shout out (in sounds and pictures) to info AT dirtypop.org to let us know what you think: It's all about the benjamins, or is it?
