FEATURES       REGULARS 9 Suffer the little children – under New Labour Despite the promises, child poverty is still widespread under Labour. 11 World Poverty Why it will never be eliminated from the capitalist system. 13 Tourism: can it be green? Commercial ecotourism doesn’t spare the environment either. 15 Too little, too late That’s the most that will ever be done under capitalism about the problems that global warming may bring. 16 Capitalism versus nature Capitalism is bound to come into conflict with nature. It cannot go green because it cannot change its spots. 18 Capitalism: no deal Under capitalism most people must be losers SUBSCRIPTION ORDERS should be sent to The Socialist Party, 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7UN.
