 FEATURES
  6  Forever blowing bubbles
Those attracted by the ‘buy-to-let’ bonanza, turning themselves into mini-rentiers in a bid to escape wage slavery forever, are likely to get their fingers burnt.

  9  William Wilberforce was no saint
Wilberforce was opposed to slavery, but what were his views on wage slavery?
  10  The anti-war right
The US anarcho-capitalist Libertarians are wrong to think that capitalism could exist without a state or that its competitive struggle for profits does not lead to
wars.


  12   It’s a bloody crime – or is it?
“The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business” (Clarence Darrow).


 14   The Military are not that intelligent
Military planners can’t afford to be stupid - as a recent MOD publication shows. 
15 China: primitive accumulation of capital
During the last quarter of a century millions of Chinese peasants have migrated to the cities. But has life improved for them?
