Mark Brenner, Labor Notes: "Today's Great Recession should have been the curtain call for an economic model that has left most workers with less buying power than they had in the mid-1970s, swelled the ranks of the uninsured to 46 million, created income inequality not seen since the Great Depression, and left most of us drowning in debt. But apparently no one in Washington got the memo. The government's top economists have been preoccupied with nursing Wall Street back to health so that the speculators can continue on their merry way unchanged."

The CEO Pay Debate: Why Reform is Going Nowhere

Chuck Collins and Sam Pizzigati, The Institute For Policy Studies: "Would you let shareholders regulate their CEOs' reckless behavior? Your friendly local Fortune 500 company is dumping toxic chemicals into the river that runs through your town. You want the problem fixed. Who do you expect to do the fixing? The company's shareholders? Of course not. That same Fortune 500 company, you've just learned, is paying a woman who lives next door to you less than a man who does the same work? Who do you expect to end that discrimination? The company's shareholders? That thought would never enter your mind. No sensible American would expect shareholders, and shareholders alone, to fix problems like these. So why do we expect shareholders to fix executive pay?"

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "Soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have tough truths to tell, and it has been well demonstrated that the establishment media does not want to broadcast these. Given the lack of an outlet for anti-war voices in the corporate media, many contemporary veterans and active-duty soldiers have embraced the arts as a tool for resistance, communication and healing. They have made use of a wide range of visual and performing arts - through theater, poetry, painting, writing, and other creative expression - to affirm their own opposition to the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq."

Even if UK capitalism avoids a full-scale depression, the danger is that the no/low-growth economy becomes the New Normal...

The U.S. military is the single largest consumer of energy in the world. The American GI is the most energy-consuming soldier ever seen on the field of war. In 2005, The U.S. Navy was the largest diesel fuel user in the world.

Ninth Circuit Rules: "Ashcroft Is Not Above The Law"

By Mike Whitney

In a critical case which could determine the future of "preventive detention" in the U.S., the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that ex-Attorney General John Ashcroft can be sued for arresting Muslims as material witnesses as a pretext for investigating their possible links to terrorism.

Anatomy of American Ignorance

By Bill Noxid

In the brief six month or so since his election, this president hasn't missed a single opportunity to sacrifice the desires of the electorate on the altar of the Corporation, and certainly this embarrassing healthcare reform debacle is yet another prime example.

After Obama

By David Michael Green

Human beings, by and large, like to be led. They like their leaders to inspire their confidence - even when doing so takes the form of the most fantastically shallow dress-up kind of blowhard buffonery, à la George W. Bush - so that they don't have to think too much about how little personal confidence they themselves actually possess.

Schützen ist preiswerter als zerstören

In dieser Woche wurde bekannt, dass der Klimawandel für die Menschheit viel teurer werden wird als bisher angenommen. Bislang hatte die UNO jährliche Kosten zwischen 50 und 170 Milliarden Dollar errechnet. Nun aber haben gleich drei international renommierte wissenschaftliche Institute errechnet, dass die Kosten mehr als das zehnfache betragen werden. Die Horror-Rechnung kommt rechtzeitig vor der Klima-Konferenz im Dezember in Kopenhagen. Ein Weckruf!

Umwälzung der Erde: Konflikte um Ressourcen

„Seal a Deal“ – schließt einen Pakt zur Rettung der Welt! Der Generalsekretär der Vereinten Nationen meinte es ernst: Die Weltwirtschaft müsse sauberer, grüner und nachhaltiger werden; sie sei zu schmutzig, zu schwarz und nicht zukunftsfähig. Er suchte Unterstützung für seine Vertragsidee dort, wo er starke Verbündete vermutet – in der Wirtschaft. Vorwort von Professor Udo E. Simonis zu "Umwälzung der Erde - Konflikte um Ressourcen" - Jahrbuch Ökologie 2010.
