The official story is that the origins of the current crisis lie in the collapse of the US subprime mortgage market - i.e. poor people not paying their mortgages. Although this may have been the trigger event, it is not the real cause. The real cause lies in pyramids not houses. Specifically the enormous debt pyramid built up by the Western countries, particularly those following the Anglo-saxon economic model - which, unfortunately for us, includes Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Big Business doesn’t like what’s happening in South America. The election of reforming governments in Peru and Ecuador might have been a bearable irritant but that Chavez guy in Venezuela has really got up their noses. In Bolivia sections of the local ruling class got so riled up that they tried to overthrow President Morales in September. The US ruling class, in collusion with local bosses, is trying to destabilise political and economic reforms. As they see it, too much is going to workers and peasants, and not enough into their own coffers. read full story / add a comment

Political Quiz: You were the Fianna Fáil Minister for Finance during the last few years. There is a massive economic crash landing happening because of your policies, which focused economic activity on selling houses to each other rather than building up things like education, culture, home grown industry etc. What do you do now? 1.Make the poor pay- strip funding from pensioners, students, schoolkids and the under-priviliged. 2.Blame the international situation. 3.Blame the people who voted against Lisbon. 4. Put your hands up, admit your mistakes, and invest in basic services which will make the recession a bit more bearable for everyone. (hint- this is Fianna Fáil remember...) Anyway, at least he's not Enda Kenny. read full story / add a comment
