‘Hurling democracy into the volcano to appease the market gods’
By Leigh Phillips
As Europe tips over into a second recession, with anaemic growth of just 0.2 percent in the EU in the second quarter revealed on Tuesday, it is manifest that austerity has not worked, so the response, naturally, is: ‘More austerity!’
Read Leigh Phillips critique of ‘austerity’ in the EU Observer.
According to Spectrezine editor Steve McGiffen, Phillips may be the only journalist working in mainstream media who has the slightest inkling of what the European Union really is. And he assures us he is not saying that because Leigh is certainly the only mainstream journalist who has ever bought him a beer.
