>When the Boom goes Bust - Thoughts on the demise of the Celtic Tiger:
Its not just dyed in the wool Marxists who are eyeing up the Celtic Tiger to check for signs of fatal illness. Even the poster boy of popular capitalism, the economist/journalist David Mac Williams, has taken to making dire warnings of about the consequence of the bubble bursting.
>Hugo Chávez & South America:
As Evo Morales moves to nationalize his country’s hydrocarbon reserves, attention has again been drawn to the man identified as the root of Latin America’s creeping radicalization – Hugo Chavez. It’s typical of short-sighted establishment pundits to hold one man responsible for a process that involves millions of people and vast social movements. But there’s no denying that Chavez is the dominant political personality in Latin America, much to the discomfort of right-wing forces.
