Economic Democracy! Not Austerity or Keynesian ''Growth''

Richard D. Wolff, Truthout: ''Recent defeats of Dutch, Greek and French governing parties show rising opposition to their austerity policies. Across Europe and North America, similar oppositions mount. Bailing out large financial and other corporations with borrowed money has been the almost universal government plan for coping with global capitalist crisis.... As opposition mounts, will it seek Keynesian 'growth' or go beyond capitalism to economic democracy?''

Quebec s Student Strike Turning Into a Citizens' Revolt

Elizabeth Leier, Truthout: ''The province of Quebec is no stranger to large and powerful social movements (the 1949 Asbestos Strike comes to mind, as does the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, in 2001). However, the ongoing conflict between the provincial government and striking students and their supporters will go down in history as one of the province s, indeed the country s, biggest mass protests. On its 102nd day, the student movement is growing, as is the awareness of an ever more oppressive and corrupt government.''
