- What are the Alternatives to Neoliberal Globalization? by Joachim Hirsch and Gert Ewen Ungar
- Ten Years After the Financial Crash by Rudolf Hickel, 2018 http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2019/02/437144.shtml US economic statistics are dubious since financial markets are based on financial products and money out of nothing. Tax havens, micro-second betting, stock buybacks, and corruption through lobbying are market-distorting and cause revenue shortfalls. Capitalism contains crisis as rain clouds contain rain (Jean Jaures). Capitalism is rife with contradictions where CEOs are stylized “job creators” and workers are degraded as “cost factors.” Capitalism creates false needs, false values, and false consciousness while commodifying all life and reducing our partner nature to an external, free good or sink (cf. Herbert Marcuse). Markets and competition are fetishes. Neoliberalism is an ideology and indoctrination where private wealth is everything and public good is nothing.

Trumponomics: Failure is Pre-Programmed by Rudolf Hickel
http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2017/04/434620.shtml Macro-economic and ecological connections are simply ignored with the concentration on short-term profit.
