The Non Sense of Austerity

WatsonMedia presents Mark Blyth on Austerity from The Global Conversation on Vimeo.


Mark Blyth is a professor of International Political Economy at Brown University and is writing Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea, forthcoming with Oxford University Press in 2011. He explains the whole "Non Sense" of the current mode for Austerity very well and mentions something which has been taboo for a long time but needs to be heard again loud and clear - "Class Politics". In the meantime if you have not yet signed up for the Coalition of Resistance Conference on November 27th, try and do so asap. With all the hot air and empty rhetoric coming out of the Tory conference this week about how to hammer the poor and unemployed more effectively we need to resist and soon!
