Europe faces a protracted period of
austerity, with major
contractions in output, consumption and employment. The crisis has
started with the smaller, more vulnerable economies like Greece,
Portugal and Ireland. But the others will follow, starting with Britain.

A New Stage in the Crisis of Capitalism - Part One |
|
By Alan Woods

Monday, 31 May 2010 |
After talk of the so called "credit crunch" gave way to optimistic
comments about the "green shoots" in the economy, events in Greece
caught the bourgeois commentators unaware. Now the world economy has
once again been plunged into chaos and uncertainty as the governments of
Europe try to contain the fall-out from the near-default of Greece and
it is the workers who will be presented with the bill.
“To the toiling masses of Europe it is becoming ever clearer that the
bourgeoisie is incapable of solving the basic problems of restoring
Europe’s economic life.” (Trotsky, On the United states of Europe,
1923)

Technically it can be argued that the recession is over in New Zealand. However, for the vast majority of workers this simply isn't the case. Unemployment is still rocketing up with another 13% claiming the dole in December2009. Youth unemployment is very high indeed. The government's lack lustre response is to allow a whole generation to rot as they do nothing.

CTU Alternative Economic Strategy - Socialism is the Answer |
|
By Phil Sharpe
|
|
Friday, 16 April 2010 |
|
“… However
there is an underlying reason why an alternative economic strategy is
required: the economy simply does not work for everyone. It results
in massive inequalities, misery on the one hand and huge excess on
the other … The economic system which creates and perpetuates such
disparate outcomes for people is unworkable”. (Alternative
Economic Strategy [AES] p2)
