* French socialists’ Latin revolt against Germany
(«A moeda comum está mais tarde ou mais cedo condenada a uma explosão incontrolável», escreveram os 12 economistas numa carta recente ao Le Monde, clamando por um retorno ordeiro às moedas nacionais. «A determinação obstinada dos governos de nos conduzirem à força para um impasse cada vez mais profundo com o euro só pode conduzir ao agravamento generalizado da situação económica na Europa,» [...] É uma revolta contra as políticas de 1930 que impõem todo o fardo sobre as costas dos estados endividados e falha ao não reconhecer que os desequilibrios entre o norte e o sul têm de ser reduzido dos dois lados, e como resultado condena toda a UE a uma recessão ruinosa.)

* Why economic inequality leads to collapse
(Durante os últimos 30 anos, uma crescente fatia da tarte económica foi indo parar às pessoas mais ricas do mundo. No Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos, dobrou a parcela de rendimentos que foi parar ao 1% no topo, deixando a restante mão-de-obra fora do progresso económico. Hoje, os maiores 1.200 multimilionários detêm o poder económico equivalente a 1/3 do tamanho da economia americana. É esta concentração de riqueza - em níveis não vistos desde 1920 - que é a real causa da crise actual.)
