After Croke Park - Winning the Fight - Organising Together
Date: Fri, 2013-04-26 15:11
The massive vote by union members to reject the 'Croke Park Extension' proposals was a clear and unambiguous rejection of government attempts to impose yet another 1billion of austerity cuts on public service workers. It was also a clear statement of opposition to the trade union leadership's decision to enter talks on the basis of these cuts in the first place.

Time for a New Economics - Lost in a Maze of Economic Gibberish
Date: Wed, 2013-04-24 21:10
Ever wondered why the lexicon of global finance seems so complicated? Why so much of what passes for economic debate seems impenetrable? Do your eyes glaze over as commentators wander into discursive mazes comprised of derivatives, subprime lenders, credit default swaps, and toxic assets? Does talk of liquidity, quantitative easing, or collaterised debt obligations send you reaching for the remote control or the off-switch? Is it possible we are just too economically illiterate to understand anything about the world of global finance?
Capital’s Shadow - the left's analysis of debt
Date: Wed, 2013-04-24 15:06
Over all the forms of oppression and exploitation we face today, debt is cast like a shadow. In “Capital’s Shadow”, Paul Bowman analyses left wing theorisations of debt and concludes that there is a lack in their understanding of “the real nature of money” and poses the need for a “new research project that analyses not only value, but value at risk over time, and through that the role of credit, risk and the world market in the current global regime of accumulation.”
