"Show Me The Money is a long-time favorite 'round the Microcosm HQ. Issue 33 begins, “The most efficient way to enslave a people is through its monetary system. Any system based on scarcity of money is suspect.” And the 47 densely-packed pages that follow reinforce the theme. This time around we get the features, “Supreme Curt Nazis, redux,” “21 Reasons Why People Hate the State,” “Time Dollars,” “Capitalism is Sociopathology,” “Are the Elites Really Trying to Kill Us?”, “Giaia Futures,” “Environmental Corner,” “Plundering the Middle Class” and tons more (“tons” being the operative word here.) After 33 issues in the biz, SMTM knows how to deliver the goods in a highly informative, highly entertaining way without recycling a buncha rehashed stuff we've all read ad nauseum. This stat and fact-filled zine will keep you laughing, shuddering, and rethinking your place in the legitimately horrifying world of capitalism for hours. Highly, highly recommended."

""SMT$ is a highly under-appreciated gem in the zine world. It's a zine dedicated to increased awareness to the mechanics of economics, and the way they relate authoritarianism, and individual rights! If that sounds complicated, it's really not--it really just means an honest look at how money influences the world around us. That's refreshing since most of the information available is created by CEOs, dictators, and politicians - reflecting their needs, not ours!" -- taken from the Microcosm Publishing website

In this issue:

Getting Prepared for the Great Depression; The Environment Corner; Low-Life Thieving Corporations; 25 Crooks at the Heart of the Meltdown; The Lay-off Scoreboard; Fun Facts; Poetry; More!"

"Hands down: We need more zines like Show Me The Money. The media spins lies, disinformation, deception and distraction every day regarding the economy and its impact upon our social well-being. We are taught through media to emulate and venerate the wealthiest of Americans and their corporate / capitalist ways. It’s what we are not shown, the stories that are not reported, that we need to pay attention to. Show Me The Money #36 includes articles on evil stockbrokers, Crisis in the West part three, the Environmental Corner, the enduring layoff scoreboard, and a wealth of facts. There’s also a “publications received” page. This may sound cliché, but this is the type of zine that the government and economists probably don’t won’t you to read. Which is precisely why you need to read this."

"This is "the only radical economic zine in existence"! Covers issues like globalization, third world debt, IMF/World Bank, Free Trade, the "new" global economy, US national debt, the nature of money, and much much more! This zine is great information and entertaining to boot. Tony even maintains a great sense of humor in it's writing so it doesn't read like a dry textbook. This issue covers such riveting topics local currencies, the importance of buying locally, New Aftrikan entreprenuership, the brainwashing effects of TV, public and private debts and the American economy, the M-3 money supply, and Ken Lay. Also includes an update of the corporate layoff scoreboard! And Labor Jesus!"

This issue focuses on the coming financial catastrophe and assessing the illusion of recovery. But it includes a lot more such as a list of the ten most corrupt capitalists, defining inverted totalitarianism, the layoff scoreboard, and some fun facts."

This issue focuses on economics and the wizard of Oz, fascism without fascism?, oil shortages certain after 2007, eating fossil fuels, and pentagon's climate change threat assessment."

"Despite the thousands that show up to anti-globalization protests or argue against capitalism with each other, very few radicals take the time to research and write about economics. Tony Hunnicut is one of the few that does it intelligently and with comedy. There is a lot of useful info here from a piece on Wal-Mart to an "Open Money Manifesto" to an interesting article on how the Matrix relates to the United States government. Interspersed throughout are quotes, speeches by past radicals like Eugene Debs and Black Hawk, and little parables that make issues like the relationship of crime to poverty easier to understand. There are blurbs like "That Silly Alan Greenspan" to an original chart called the "Layoff Scoreboard." The real gem is a list of all Bush Administration officials and their assets. Who knew war hawk Donald Rumsfeld was worth up to $242.5 million? Maybe that's why he's not leading the charge in Iraq! My only regret is much of the 39 pages are filled with reprinted articles from newspapers like the New York Times. Also, the letters section is wasted space."
