Labour and Lessons from the Venezuelan Alternative

Herbert Jauch argues that the current global economic crisis has to be placed within the context of a history of neo-liberal globalization. He also notes that the debate about alternatives has to go beyond the question of how the current financial and economic system can be rescued. By focusing on Venezuelas case, Jauch suggests that a more effective approach is one that addresses systemic questions going beyond the confines of rescue packages for banks and policies of adjustment with a human face.
