Can Keynes Rescue Europe from the Euro Crisis? Keynes' theories and concepts were pushed back with the rise of neoliberalism in the 1980s. A complete change of course occurred when state spending cuts, lower wages and devaluations failed and the recession led to a worldwide economic crisis. The state then spent money to create demand for products and services. Accepting a state deficit and spending money are vital in downturns and reducing state deficits in the upswing. Radical changes in priorities, paradigms and goals are necessary6 t...

What is the Role of Anarchist Media? 
Despite various degrees of agreement between common tendencies in anarchist thought, the tools that we use to engage with our politics in the virtual realm of media may complement, contribute to, provoke, or otherwise engage with the actions or other lived experiences.

Thomas Piketty: Germany has never repaid its debts. It has no right to lecture Greece Conservatives, especially in Germany, are about to destroy Europe and the European idea, all because of their shocking ignorance of history...

However, it has frequently made other nations pay up, such as after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when it demanded massive reparations from France and indeed received them. The Fre...

Patients are not Customers Mainstream economics is always based on the idea of homo oeconomicus, an egoist who maximizes his own advantages. In economics, the extreme form of egoism is treated as rationality. This is problematic. Thought models shape perception and conduct.
