POPSANC's Thatcherism responsible for Eskom load shedding -- Cosatu Cosatu has drawn attention to one aspect of the electricity supply crisis that hasn't received much attention in the media. Cosatu does not blame Eskom management, but the government's mania for privatisation. And if that is true, then the heads have already rolled -- at the ANC conference in December. And then it is just a question whether wiser heads replace them.

POPSWhy a 70s-style whiff of stagflation may soon be in the air Yes, inflation is partly about expectations. The thing is that it doesn't take long for the experience of inflation to lead to an expectation of inflation. Remember that the answers to stagflation in the 1970s was deregulation and privatisation. This is now not a policy option, since it has already been done (to death).

POPSKilowatts for cash , push for alternate energy The hip pocket as always is the most effective in changing people's habits and implementing change. With the recent privatisation of the energy supply, there is now the potential to profit from alternative sources such as wind or solar. That is if the price of a wind power system is better than the cost of running your own turbines, but the technology is improving all the time.

POPSEvery third person will be a slum dweller within 30 years, UN agency warns Very few countries have recognised this critical situation and very little effort is going into providing jobs or services. he authors roundly blamed laissez-faire globalisation and "neo-liberal" economic policies imposed on poor countries by global institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organisation for much of the damage caused to cities over the past 20 years. In a form of colonialisation that is probably more stringent than the original, many developing countries have become... suppliers of raw commodities to the world, and fall further and further behind. The authors say people are encouraged to move to the cities by factors including the privatisation of public services, job losses, and the removal of subsidies and tax breaks from key industries. Such effects, they say, increase inequality, and make sure that those who move to the cities remain in deep poverty.

Nonetheless, no matter which party controls government, Greece must push forward with the privatisation of Universities and a structural reworking of the Educational system. For too many years, public administration and services have been dogged by inefficiencies and inadequacies. To date, this has been Greece’s unhealthy image to both locals and foreigners alike. Thankfully, the European Union is now placing more pressure on Greece to comply with regulations ranging from environmental issue to health issues. This is a welcome order for a local government that seems keener than ever to remove the old image of unprofessional governance, to one of professional and rational administration. In a country where the simplest and most necessary procedures such as food safety are routinely ignored and corruption abounds, a strong government that is willing to push forward with change is urgently needed.
