The Brown
ascendancy
Tony Blair’s days as prime minister are numbered.
Almost certainly, Gordon Brown will replace him. Despite their intense
personal rivalry, they have been the key architects of New Labour’s
neo-liberal policies. So, how different would a Brown government be?

Capitalism Unleashed
Since the early 1980s, world capitalism has followed
a trajectory based on globalisation and neo-liberal policies. In his new
book, Capitalism Unleashed, Andrew Glyn analyses this turn to
fundamentalist, free-market policies and examines its impact on economic
growth and stability, and on the distribution of wealth between the
super-rich and the working class. Reviewed by LYNN WALSH.
