10  Crisis and Inflation: Back to the Future?
Gordon Brown claimed that he had ended the boom and bust cycle. The current economic crisis demonstrates that normal service has been resumed. 

12 The end of “neoliberalism”?
What the critics of “neoliberalism” want is a “regulated capitalism”, but they are not the only ones.

13 Good Cap, Bad Cap
The credit crisis has tarnished the image of capitalism but its defenders may help it live on by pinning all of the blame on financiers.

15 The Russian Revolution recalled
Even 90 years after the Russian revolution there are still some who claim that the event shines as a beacon for socialism. We were able to say at the time that whatever was happening in Russia it was not a socialist revolution.

17 Socialists and the First World War
This month marks the 90th anniversary of the end of WWI. We recall the socialist opposition to it.
