CrossTalk: Plentiful Austerity

Russia Today

What does slash public spending mean for the economy? Is recession the right time for tightening the belts? Where does the growth come from if everybody is cutting down? Many say that low levels of government spending make the economy grow faster. It may be true, but people may not necessarily profit from it, especially if it’s another jobless recovery. With unemployment reaching record highs in the developed world and people’s incomes being squeezed, can austerity cuts spur future growth? And does the West really have a choice given the very high debts it accumulated? CrossTalking with Pippa Malmgren, Dimitri Papadimitriou and Fragkiskos Filippaios on February 13.

Support #altnews & keep Dark Politricks alive

I really need your support to keep paying the server bills and keep this site running.

Sometimes I don't think people realise how much it costs to pay for a server and all the bandwidth costs that entails. I am out of pocket every month keeping this site running therefore I would urge you to help support me so the site doesn't have to close.

There are some very obvious ways to help me out that cost you nothing but it seems people are not choosing to take this route and the few mouse clicks it would take therefore I would urge you to consider making a small dontation to the site especially if you enjoyed this article or are a regular visitor to the site.
