    Review: How socialism became the failed idea that never dies

    German writer and economist Rainer Zettleman looks at a new book on the enduring – and illogical – appeal of socialism Why have socialist ideas once again developed such a strong appeal, even though every single socialist experiment over the past 100 years has failed?  British economist Kristian Niemietz provides an answer in his book Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies. He cites over two dozen socialist [...]

  • Oil prices fall two per cent on fears of escalating US-China trade war

    Oil prices fell this morning, losing around two per cent of their value and dipping below the $70 per barrel line as worries over the US-China trade war spooked investors.

  • Wikipedia to fight Turkey ban in European human rights court

    May 23, 2019

    Wikipedia is taking Turkey to the European Court of Human Rights as it seeks to overturn a blanket ban on its website in the country.

  • The extremist Green party is trying to overthrow capitalism

    May 22, 2019

    The Green Party is doing well. It gained nearly 200 council seats in the recent local elections and is hoping for a strong showing in the European ones this week.

  • Let’s celebrate the British contrarians bold enough to challenge the status quo

    May 16, 2019

    It is easy to spot the ruthless persecution of individuals who challenge the status quo in countries like Venezuela and Cambodia, where dissent is violently silenced by autocrats.

  • The two main advocates of nationalisation without market value compensation: Venezuela and Corbyn’s Labour Party

    May 15, 2019

    Labour's shadow chancellor can be quite charming when he wants to be. He can also be quite thuggish, and has yet to apologise for his comments about “lynching” former Tory minister Esther McVey. But it was charming John who spoke to an audience of CEOs earlier this week, during which he was asked by one [...]

    May 8, 2019

    Want to buy something, but can’t quite afford it? Just use a simple trick from John McDonnell. Here’s how it works. You say: “We’ll pay a fraction of the actual price.” They say: “Sorry, you can’t do that.” You say: “Yes, we can. We’re the government.” That, in essence, is Labour’s plan to renationalise the [...]
