The Foundation for Social Economics, dedicated to the promotion of economic education, empowerment and ethics among working people, students and the unemployed, offers a rare opportunity to unravel the mysteries of Karl Marx’s notorious classic, Das Kapital. Long cloaked in misunderstandings, fear and confusion, this workshop will provide an interactive, visual tour through the complexities of this historically vital and still extremely relevant work. Detailed and accurate, this workshop is suitable for beginners but will also bring clarity for those already familiar with the material.

Not Rex: Stupopia

There is a place where true capitalist freedom exists. In this place there are no taxes, no socialists, and no unions. This place is so successful that the average citizen no longer needs to work at the age of 48! American Think Tanks praise this country as the model for progress. Where is this place ? This week on Not Rex, Humberto DaSilva asks: what would the world look like if the right-wing had its way?

The Real Irish Debt Problem

With Ireland's government's recent announcement of its programme of spending cuts we should note that almost a quarter of all Irish households were in arrears on at least one bill or loan last year and 60 per cent said they had difficulty making ends meet.

Child Poverty in Canada

One in 10 Canadian children is living in poverty, according to a report on the status of child and family poverty.

Capitalism: Fix it or Lose it

As more and more of the so called experts begin to say what I’ve been saying for the past 2 years, “The Recession is NOT over, it is merely taking a rest while it builds itself for an even worse comeback” it is clearly evident that we need to rethink the nature of Capitalism itself.

Capitalism as we know it can not and will not survive. Tinkering with various aspects of the system such as bail outs for some companies while others are allowed to perish is no solution. Juggling the money supply only creates conflict as each country strives to gain the upper hand. Reducing interest rates to encourage consumers to buy, buy, buy, has failed to achieve the desired results.
