Neoliberal myths must be unmasked and the economy restrained from environmental destruction, expo... Posted: Tue May 21, 2013 5:53AM
Creative Destruction - by Rudolf HickelThe exodus from the casino capitalism producing ever faster and ever deeper crises cannot succeed without a broad and powerful democratic base. Parliamentary democracy is urged to finally take up the struggle around the primacy of politics against the financial markets. Financial markets have nothing to do with the idylle of market competition. Dethroning the financial markets means reducing the speculation businesses. Speculation shopping represents 80% of the world economy while their busin... Posted: Mon May 20, 2013 4:26AM

Financial Mafia - How Banks and Bandits Endanger our Democracy - by Wolfgang Hetzer and Wolfgang LiebPolitical failure follows market failure. Participation in system criminality is without risk of prosecution. The financial crisis is not only a system failure.

The State Should Rescue the Market Economy - by Markus MugglinA balance recession is more than a temporary slump of the economy. During a balance recession, private economic actors try to reduce their debts. Debts are minimized instead of businesses taking credits to finance production and maximize profits. The cheap money seeps out on the financial markets. The labor market does not function like other markets. Falling wages did not lead to more employment - as claimed for decades.

Who Owns the World? - by Wolfgang SchleyerMost states are so indebted today that their politics are determined more by creditors than citizens. Why can't democracies deal with money? Can we be waiting for the world to join our worldview although adapting our worldview to the world would be more visionary. A minority can routinely enforce its will against the rules of the market economy. Elites are those whose sociology no one dares write, Hans-Jurgen Krysmanski explains.
