International Socialism Journal nr. 128, okt 10 – side 3

This is despite all the signs that the world economy faces, at best, a weak and unsteady recovery. The financial markets spent the summer agonising over the probability of a double-dip recession. But Robert Reich, labour secretary under Bill Clinton, summed up the view of many economists of different political and intellectual allegiances who believe the data actually point to a grimmer reality.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 301, sep 10 – side 2
Note: Over hele Europa er vi i øjeblikket vidne til den største offensiv i mange år mod arbejderklassens levestandard.

International Socialism Journal nr. 124, okt 09 – side 7
Note: The derisory message of a four-page piece by journalist Andy Beckett in the Guardian’s G2 supplement in mid-August was that the far left had missed “the political opportunity presented by the financial crisis”. And there are a good number on the far left who think the Guardian was right.
