Bill Gates, the world's richest man, is now betting against the dollar. "I'm short the dollar," says Gates. "The ol' dollar, it's gonna go down." Will the dollar be one day the target of attacks by hedge funds? Recently the dollar rallied a bit, but short-term fluctuations aside, the dollar has nowhere to go but down. Gradually or suddenly and precipitously? It may be possible to engineer gradual devaluation of the dollar and stimulate US export, shrinking the US trade deficit, but it turns out that "the US does not have adequate manufacturing capacity to eliminate the external deficit," according to David Hale. That means that the US power elite will demand that the US working class reduce consumption to haul the multinational ruling class out of the abyss of the US current-account deficit, at the same time as forcing the US working class to make greater and greater sacrifices as IED fodders, sinking further into the quagmire in Iraq. Can American workers fight back? read full story / add a comment

Today President Lula addressed thousands of activists in social movements in Brazil, and through them millions more across the globe. And he got jeered by the impatient. You'll get that. We live in the time of soundbytes. & translators. & interpreters. & thinktanks. & billionaire philanthropist pacifists with major stock in arms corps and undeclared interests in narcotic routes and the fine post-graduates who work for them spinning tissues of deceit and benovelance. read full story / add a comment

Socialist Forum The Politics of Privatisation Speaker: KIERAN ALLEN (Author: The Celtic Tiger: The Myth of Social Partnership) Red Parrot, Dorset St Monday 31st January 8pm The government has suggested privatizing the ESB even though the experience in California has shown that privatization leads to black outs and dearer prices. A present it is trying to impose bin charges Dublin. Once they get through it will lead to privatisation – and the removal of the waiver system. Everywhere the same arguments are used to justify privatization. It is supposed to lead to more efficiency. It is supposed to be better for the customer. At this meeting, Kieran Allen looks at the experience of privatization internationally and argues that the opposite is the case. Privatization leads to a worse service, under-investment in vital resources, corruption and super-profits. read full story / add a comment |
