Time for a New Economics - Lost in a Maze of Economic Gibberish
Date: Wed, 2013-04-24 21:10
Ever wondered why the lexicon of global finance seems so complicated? Why so much of what passes for economic debate seems impenetrable? Do your eyes glaze over as commentators wander into discursive mazes comprised of derivatives, subprime lenders, credit default swaps, and toxic assets? Does talk of liquidity, quantitative easing, or collaterised debt obligations send you reaching for the remote control or the off-switch? Is it possible we are just too economically illiterate to understand anything about the world of global finance?

Date: Wed, 2013-04-24 15:06
Over all the forms of oppression and exploitation we face today, debt is cast like a shadow. In “Capital’s Shadow”, Paul Bowman analyses left wing theorisations of debt and concludes that there is a lack in their understanding of “the real nature of money” and poses the need for a “new research project that analyses not only value, but value at risk over time, and through that the role of credit, risk and the world market in the current global regime of accumulation.”

10% of female suicides used to be of pregnant women until UK abortion became accessible
Date: Tue, 2013-04-23 10:53
The anti-choice movements have been repeating over and over the message in recent months that 'abortion is never a treatment for suicidality' This is frequently coupled with citing the realtively low current rate of suicide among pregnant women. But like other myths of the anti-choice movement it has emerged that until abortion became accessible to Irish women, through travelling to the UK, 10% of suicides of women in Ireland were of pregnant women, a figure far in excess of the general population.
