«Casino Crash»: critical radical thinking on the financial crisis

The blog hopes to answer some of these core questions:

* What are the real causes of the Wall Street Meltdown?
* What are the implications of the responses led by Paulson, Sarkozy, Brown and other governments worldwide?
* Will bank bailouts resolve the crisis?
* What will be the social and environmental impact of both the credit crunch and the different political responses to the crisis?
* What are the implications of the crisis for neoliberalism or indeed capitalism?
* What alternative solutions are needed to resolve both the immediate crisis and its systemic causes?
