Interviews on the Economic Crisis of 2007-?
by Andrew Kliman
How long will it last? What will happen once the artificial stimulus, financed by massive borrowing against the future, ends? Four journal interviews address these questions, the immediate and long-term causes of the crisis, and “What is socialism, and what needs to be done to advance toward it?” Just published by MHI and only available in paper, this new pamphlet also includes an introduction by the author.
