What Causes Economic Depressions?
In his testimony before a congressional committee in 1930, American Communist Party leader, William Z. Foster, declared: “What is the cause of this starvation, misery and hardship of the millions of workers in the United States? Is it because some great national calamity has destroyed the food, clothing and shelter available for the people? No, on the contrary. Millions of workers must go hungry because there is too much wheat. Millions of workers must go without clothes because the warehouses are full to overflowing with everything that is needed. Millions of workers must freeze because there is too much coal. This is the logic of the capitalist system . . .”1 (more…)

A Voice for the Voiceless: Baroness Caroline Cox
It is the early 1990s, and a tiny enclave of Christian Armenians is under attack from predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan, which completely surrounds it. This is Nagorno-Karabakh (NK), no bigger than an English county and with a population that could fit into a football stadium.1 For months, the residents have been under artillery bombardment. Many villages have been destroyed with terrible casualties,2 and all land routes into NK have been cut off. Now the only way to get in is by air. But, to avoid heat-seeking missiles, the civilian relief planes have to pretend they are Azerbaijani fighter jets; they have to soar way above their operational ceiling and then corkscrew down with the sun behind them, hoping to confuse the missiles. Under these conditions, not all aid workers make it through,3 but one who did, repeatedly, was a British Baroness, Caroline Cox. (more…)
