They are all pitched at an easy level (but still very serious).
I particularly like the Ann Pettifor one (number 7), but there is masses of good shit in here.
Bravo to the Brits for starting this `ground-up` discussion~!!

So what prompted this post? I’ll get to that unsavoury subject in a minute.
Austerity, we need AUSTERITY.
Or so we have been told. Otherwise the “bond vigilantes” will come down hard and send up interest rates. Or not, if Merv continues to sponge up the excess bits debt debt that Osborne can’t flog off into the “Market”.
So is the UK carefully pruning budgets and staff? Clearly not, as the latest “Initiative” launched by the man at the top, the Cameron himself. So what’s he been spending his valuable time doing when not fending off the vigilantes? Yes, it’s true! He’s building up the Nanny State. But now he has taken it to the absolute limit, and is removing that last piece of responsibility your real Nanny had left.
Nappy Changing.

Its a very sad situation where the once-proud Brits now need government instructions on how to change nappies. And that the government feels it has to provide them. And the Prime Minister himself launches the “Initiative on Nappy Changing”.
Surely this is one area where the so-called but non-existent Austerity Measure could have been applied to the fullest. But no, the government feels that the tax payers must pay more taxes to be told how to change nappies.
The “Sensible State”, jeeze, just give me a break.
It’s now the FULL ON NANNY STATE, with the Brits subject to initiatives, directives, rules, laws from before your first crap right up to the last dump.
Pathetic.
There has been a great deal of focus on the Occupy Wallstreet movement but another big protest is ongoing in the province of Quebec, here in Canada. The principle being defended is protecting the near free cost of a post secondary education in Quebec. I think they have a point but you can bet that most people reading this NY Times article this week think otherwise.
Some might believe it better that students pay higher tuition fees and then banks can provide students access to all the cheap loans they want. Of course that is being in the debt slave business, as opposed to the education business, and clearly there is money to be made in it.
Get your mind out of the gutter because this is not good for any nation, company or people. It is also just another form of the current austerity efforts world wide.
Many babyboomers received a subsidized education in Canada and maybe it is time for a “Previously Subsidized Education Tax” for these guys !? You can bet most babyboomers are voting to finally send in the police to break it all up.
It all began March 18 when Students in Quebec warned the provincial government that its plan to raise university tuition fees by 75 per cent would result in a showdown with their powerful student unions. It has and it is still ongoing.
