The crisis in Spain So hard to bend Rigidities in the labour market make recovery even harder

EVERY member of the eurozone has weaknesses that limit its potential. Spain seems to contain a continent’s-worth of frailties in just one country. Like Ireland, its consumers are weighed down by huge mortgage debts. Spain has a rigid system for setting wages, also a source of inefficiency in Greece and Portugal. The attempt to free up Spain’s jobs market by allowing temporary work contracts has reduced incentives to train workers, holding back productivity. That is true also of Italy. And, like… Continue

Iraq Orders Former Blackwater Security Guards Out

BAGHDAD (AP) – Iraq has ordered hundreds of private security guards linked to Blackwater Worldwide to leave the country within seven days or face possible arrest on visa violations, the interior minister said yesterday.

Descent Into Barbarism: The US and NATO Wage War on the World

The argument is won: capitalism as an effective system to organise society and provide for human needs has expired. The evidence is conclusive. Trillions of dollars to kickstart the economy in the US and Europe may have given an ephemeral lease of life to the financial class to spin the casino wheel once again, but it is more apparent by the day that the tentative “recovery” has spluttered to a standstill. Gridlocked by unprecedented levels of personal and national debts, the engine of… Continue

Disinformation Tactics: The Methods Used To Keep You In The Dark

There was a time, not too long ago (relatively speaking), that governments and the groups of elites that controlled them did not find it necessary to conscript themselves into wars of disinformation. Propaganda was relatively straightforward. The lies were much simpler. The control of information flow was easily directed. In fact, during the early Middle-Ages in… Continue

More empires have fallen because of reckless finances than invasion... If Obama really were serious about restoring America’s economic health, he would demand military spending be slashed, quickly end the Iraq and Afghan wars and break up…

Gaza in Plain Language

By: Joe Mowrey

In articles acknowledging the one year anniversary of the assault on Gaza, blunt and unsparing language about what really happened is often avoided. Despite sympathy for and support of the Palestinian people in their struggle against dispossession and oppression, the description of what took place in January 2009 is sometimes buffered by a misguided sense of political correctness. Yes, it’s terrible. Yes, it is unjust. But we don’t want to be inflammatory or risk… Continue
