"We are at an epoch shift": Peter Bofinger
09-10-2008 16:34
Free markets became wild markets. The post-socialist blessing became the turbo-capitalist curse. The state allowed the monitoring of banks to be de facto privatized. Politics allowed the markets to run wild. In turbo-capitalism, contracting debts was trendy and saving was Philistine.Picnic at Parliament to end the destitution of Asylum Seekers

I Survived the Georgian War. Here's What I Saw.
09-10-2008 15:13
- In a speech before the United Nations last month, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili implored world leaders to set up an international investigation to find out the truth about the war in South Ossetia.I couldn't agree more. But I think the results of an honest investigation would reveal a very different "truth" than what President Saakashvili claims.
I know this because I was in Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia, on Aug. 7 when Georgian troops marched into the city and killed my friends and neighbors. I huddled with my family in terror for three nights while Saakashvili's tanks and rockets destroyed hundreds of our homes, desecrated cemeteries, gutted schools and hospitals.

Transitions towns

Transition towns support energy reduction, localisation, why therefore the criticism?Tube cleaners solidarity actions
09-10-2008 10:31
It is very important to support the cleaners at this crucial moment: UK racist immigration laws are being used to crush the cleaners' successful struggle. Three cleaners have been deported, and the employers are carrying out checks on many others: hundreds have received letters sayin their National Insurance number may not be correct.Vatican protects Venezuelan rapist!

Community Service - Extract from work in progress-
09-10-2008 05:19
This is what used to be known as community service, then community punishment and, the last I heard community payback, no doubt, a little further down the track, in keeping with current fads and silly thinking it will be called something else.Illegal use of Equity - Average and Normal
09-10-2008 02:47
People have made bad and improper investments with credit and equity.My family and friends (who I would say are "average" and "normal" Americans) have used home equity to buy other homes, invest in the stock market, to buy "stuff", and to pay expenses. This sometimes illegal and improper use of residential property equity is the problem! This equity does not exist yet, and no one knows when - or if it will. --- No one knows how much it may be. ----- And it is all ready "at work" - multiply times over. --?--- I have seen many people live off of credit, and use their money to invest. This "hyper-capitalism" of equity on equity - on credit and debt appreciation, is a flawed and failing economic model; and it is failing - just as it should.
