IIRE fellow Claudio Katz interviewed by Fernando Arellano Ortiz
The exit from the systemic crisis of capitalism needs to be political, and "a socialist project can mature in this turbulence." So says the Argentine economist, philosopher, and sociologist Claudio Katz, who also warns that the "global economic situation is very serious and is going to have to hit bottom, and now we are but in the first moment of crisis."

Les effets d’annonce ne manquent pas autour du sommet des 20 pays industrialisés et émergents (G20) réuni à Londres les 1er et 2 avril pour apporter des solutions à la crise. Mais bien avant la clôture du sommet, les conclusions sont connues : le G20 ne sera pas à la hauteur de l’enjeu.
by IIRE Fellow Eric Toussaint and Damien Millet
The G20 summit meeting in London from April 1st onward was loudly announced and publicized. Those 20 industrialized and emergent countries (G20) are meeting to find solutions to the crisis. But long before the end of the summit, it is clear that they will not rise to the challenge.
An interview with IIRE Fellow Eric Toussaint , by Pauline Imbach
Some talked about a new start for the movement for another globalization with the World Social Forum in Belém. Do you think this is the case?
Since the World Social Forum (WSF) went through difficult moments in 2006, 2007, and 2008, we can really call this 9th edition a new start. It was a huge success in various respects.
