Monika Bauerlein,
CEO

Dear Reader,

In "The 'Animal Spirits of Capitalism' Are Devouring Us," I write about our biggest investigation in quite some time: A "stunning exposé," nearly six months in the making, that digs deep into the hidden world of private equity. It's quintessential Mother Jones journalism. And as we stare down a big $200,000-plus fundraising gap to close by June 30, next week, I hope you'll read about this huge project and, if you can, that you'll help make our work possible with an urgently needed donation today.

And with $200,000-plus still to raise by June 30, we hope you'll read about this huge project and, if you can, that you'll help make our work possible with an urgently needed donation.
