The whole Capitalist system looks to be under pressure
Stagflation - Low growth and high inflation is back
Stock Markets - Have fallen more than 10% in the last couple of months. Surely a crash is now on the way as corporate profits plummet.
Financial Institutions - Are in melt down. Northern Rock, rights issues for distressed banks, some of America's best known finance houses in ruins.
The Unions - Have found a new confidence for the first time in the post-Thatcher era
House Prices - Greedy speculators are in serious trouble and face their own homes being repossessed.
Commodity Prices - Through the roof.
Energy Supply - Can it be long before we have power cuts in the uk once more.
Could all this be an opportunity for the forces that desire a more equitable and sustainable society?
