Correction

In the item Sunshine in the October Socialist Standard we may have inadvertently given the impression that if only politicians and “experts” could predict the course of capitalism’s economy, slumps and booms could be eliminated. In fact both are impossible; capitalism is anarchic and can be neither predicted nor controlled.
