Review: After the New Economy
Review of an excellent book on the 1990s “New Economy” hype.
Divided by time, united by hope
Review of two books on social struggle, one on the 1930s and one on the anti-globalisation movement.
Authoritarians, vanguards and “anti-capitalist” movements
A critique of an SWP attack on libertarian anti-capitalist protestors. Exposes the hypocrisy of Leninists attacking others as undemocratic as well as the impractical nature of their alternative.
A reply to “Capitalist Praise For Anarcho-Syndicalism”
A critique of an “anarcho”-capitalist attempt to steal the term syndicalism (like anarchism and libertarian by redefining it away from what it historically means). Ironically, the attempt shows why “anarcho”-capitalism is just not anarchist.
Capitalism in crisis, again!
Some comments on the continuing crisis in the stock markets, discussing how economic ideology contributed to it and how capitalism has always been based on socialising costs and risk while privatising profits.
