This small book is full of insights - but from an ecological economics perspective frustratingly limited to the analysis of the financial markets.

welcome to historical materialism
Historical Materialism is a Marxist journal, appearing four times a year, based in London. Founded in 1997, it asserts that, notwithstanding the variety of its practical and theoretical articulations, Marxism constitutes the most fertile conceptual framework for analysing social phenomena, with an eye to their overhaul. In our selection of materials, we do not favour any one tendency, tradition or variant. Marx demanded the ‘merciless criticism of everything that exists’: for us that includes Marxism itself.

Tikkun Current Thinking - The Left Should Not Be Allied with Islamic Extremists
Highlights and Sticky Notes:
The Left Should Not Be Allied with Islamic Extremists
Posted Monday, October 06 2008 @ 09:05 PM PDT
Left Progressive Social Theorist Fred Halliday criticizes the tendency of some on the Left to become apologists for forms of Islamic extremism that are quite regressive.
[At a time when Muslims are subject to discrimination and attack in the U.S., it's natural for many of us to want to protect the Islamic community. Fred Halliday's piece does not in any way challenge that instinct to side with those who are facing discrimination based on race, religion or national origin, but only insists that we distinguish between our opposition to discrimination and opposition to American imperialism in the world, on the one hand, and on the other hand the mistaken policy of being supportive of reactionary and violent tendencies in the Islamic world (just as we at Tikkun insist on distnguishing between forms of Judaism and Chrisitianity that preach love and forms that teach hatred or ultra chauvinst nationalism).]
