the economy was booming the euro was seen as a source of strength or
those countries that had adopted the new currency. Now it is
transforming into its opposite, as the crisis in Greece demonstrates.
The Marxists warned about this long ago.

Socialist Appeal opposes privatisation of ACC |
|
By Editorial Board
|
|
Wednesday, 02 December 2009 |
|
The proposed opening up to competition of the ACC work account ( the part paid by employers for workplace accidents) is the first step in the privatisation of the state run accident insurance scheme. The Minister of ACC, Nick Smith, is scaremongering when he says that the ACC scheme is financially unsustainable. Such “smoke and mirror” statements by Nick Smith bears no serious scrutiny as the basic fact that more is collected in levies than is paid out! To qualify this ACC has $11 billion in reserves and last year collected $1 billion more than it spent on claims.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall: 20 Years Later |
|
By Alan Woods
|
|
Wednesday, 02 December 2009 |
|
Twenty
years ago as the Berlin Wall came tumbling down the bourgeoisie in
the west was euphoric, rejoicing at the “fall of communism”.
Twenty years later things look very different as capitalism has
entered its most severe crisis since 1929. Now a majority in former
East Germany votes for the left and harks back to what was positive
about the planned economy. After rejecting Stalinism, they have now
had a taste of capitalism, and the conclusion drawn is that socialism
is better than capitalism.

Internationally,
capitalism is emerging from its worst crisis since the 1930s. There
is palpable relief in the ranks of the ruling class at avoiding a
financial meltdown. However, despite heated talk of green shoots,
there is a universal gloom about the current situation.
