The optimists claim that an economic recovery is near at hand, based on a recent stock market bounce and some less-bad-than-usual economic statistics.
Most sober-minded economists say otherwise. They point to the suffocating effect of the financial crisis on the underlying real economy, which has slowed consumer spending, squeezed world trade and threatened corporate bankruptcies well beyond finance and real estate.
Join the ISO for a discussion on the economic crisis -- how did it start, how can Marxism inform our analysis, how do things look from here on out, and how can we best organize to defend ourselves and our fellow workers against forced austerity measures.
