Zombie Economics: How Dead Ideas Still Walk Among
Us by John Quiggin. "In “Zombie Economics”, Professor
Quiggin takes aim at a number of “dead” ideas –
the Great Moderation; Efficient Markets Hypotheses; Dynamic Stochastic
General Equilibrium; Trickle Down Economics; Privatisation. The
central thesis underlying “Zombie Economics” is that
the global financial crisis exposed the weaknesses of these ideas,
which underpin free market or neo-liberal economics.

Why public banks work
Word: from Occupy Wall Street
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality:/
that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of
its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon
corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect
their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic
government derives its just power from the people, but corporations
do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the
Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process
is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when
corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over
justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We
have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these
facts be known.
Word
Those on the streets around Wall Street are the physical embodiment of hope.
They know that hope has a cost, that it is not easy or comfortable,
that it requires self-sacrifice and discomfort and finally faith.
They sleep on concrete every night. Their clothes are soiled.
They have eaten more bagels and peanut butter than they ever
thought possible. They have tasted fear, been beaten, gone to
jail, been blinded by pepper spray, cried, hugged each other,
laughed, sung, talked too long in general assemblies, seen their
chants drift upward to the office towers above them, wondered
if it is worth it, if anyone cares, if they will win. But as
long as they remain steadfast they point the way out of the corporate
labyrinth. This is what it means to be alive. They are the best
among us. -Chris Hedges
