On 5th December, I had the great
pleasure of addressing a splendid audience at the Kreisky Forum, in
Vienna. My theme was, surprise surprise, the European Crisis in its
Global Context. Nevertheless, in view of the very special venue
(dedicated to the late Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, and delivered in his
former home), I was compelled to ask myself, and to address, the
following question: Why has European social democracy abandoned the
legacy of leaders like Kreisky, falling in line with a toxic economics
and politics that thinkers like Kreisky would have dismissed in their
sleep as pathetic claptrap?
Yanis is the author of "The Global Minotaur" - which explains the origins and solutions to the global economic crisis.
And a revised edition will be available in early 2013.
