Our Global Economy...The Guardian

This is a great (though sobering) article on our global economy.

I particulary agree with the concluding paragraph:

"Together, the global imbalances, the manic-depressive behaviour of stock markets, the venality of the financial sector, the growing gulf between rich and poor, the high levels of unemployment, the naked consumerism and the riots are telling us something.

This is a system in deep trouble and it is waiting to blow."
