by Esther Vivas | May 20, 2013

The current food and agricultural system, which is criticized for being "generator of hunger in a world of abundance" because of the monopolies, speculation, globalization and privatization policies of the past decades.

Bullet #825: Socialism for the 21st Century

by Michael A. Lebowitz | May 20, 2013

Firstly, we need to recognize that not all Marxists accept that capitalism as a whole is in crisis -- as opposed to particular capitals in particular localities. Secondly, if capital is in crisis -- in general or in particular, then what was its source? I begin from Marx's stress on overaccumulation. Capital has a tendency to accumulate and expand without regard for the antagonistic conditions in which it must function.

Books: Beyond the Fragments

review by Cynthia Cockburn | May 18, 2013

Beyond the Fragments, first published in 1979, was an iconic book that took a feminist approach to the problem of how to resolve the tensions fracturing the left, and prod its diverse parties, tendencies, groups and non-joiners towards productive dialogue and greater unity. The refreshed BTF was launched on 3 May at a packed-out gathering where we heard the three justly-respected authors, Sheila Rowbotham, Lynne Segal and Hilary Wainwright, tell us why their feminist formula for bringing together a divided left is still relevant in 2013.
