37880 indulgent central banks -- rank: 1000
I just subscribed to Briefing.com, and poking around their global interest rate pages I ran across a table of policy changes by the world's major central banks, with easings highlighed in green - and tightenings in red, I assume, but there were none. Anyway, there have been 41 easing actions over the last year. They're trying hard! Doug

37881 Havel: NATO doing God's work -- rank: 1000
Havel has a piece in the New York Review of Books arguing that the nation-state must yield to internationally enforced human rights claims (rights that come from God, of course), and NATO is that instrument in Yugoslavia. It's the most cynical piece of antistatism in the service of imperial power I've ever seen. You can get it on the NYRB website, broken into 8 parts <http://www.nybooks.com/nyrev/WWWfeatdisplay.cgi?19990610004F> or in one part on the LBO website <http://www.panix.com/~d ...

Margaret wrote: >Perhaps the place to begin is with a practical, leftist >vision of how things might be? You seem to think that that's straightforward, almost self-evident. It's not. Lots of very smart and dedicated people have spent their lives trying to figure it out, and how to do something about it. We're going up against very formidable institutionalized power, power that works in some large part because it's programmed into our heads. Practical types like to make fun of theorists, an ...

37887 Fwd: <nettime> Environmental impact of the war in Yugoslavia -- rank: 1000
[from nettime] The environment in the Balkan region may seem to be of 'secondary' importance in a time of so much immediate human tragedy. We should however realise that the environmental damage caused by the Kosovo war could continue to cause human suffering in the region far beyond the immediate armed confict. This is of course not an exclusive 'feature' of this particular war, but a consequence of every major modern armed conflict. The following short report on the environmental impact of the ...
