new world reader

'The Revolt of the Salaried Bourgeoisie' from the London Review of Books.

Our old friend E. F. Schumacher excerpted from Small Is Beautiful. Also available as a pdf in all of these lovely languages: danish, dutch, french, german, greek, hebrew, hindi, hungarian, italian, japanese, korean, norwegian, polish, portuguese, russian, serbian and swedish!

A bit more from David Harvey, this time at the Penn Humanities Forum. If you're really getting into this marxist-ish analysis thing you could even check out the whole thirteen lecture series here: www.youtube.com/user/readingcapital. Or just amble over to www.davidharvey.com

Six neatly outlined steps to a jolly old progressive future sandwiched between some climate-change-deniers-are-dumb type paragraphs. www.naomiklein.com

Sociologist David Harvey gives us all a nice overview of what's fucked up with capitalism at the moment: credit crunching, bank bailouts and generally sweeping our economic problems under the carpet. Oh! And there's drawing too.
