Stefan Stern: Marx was right about change - Commentators, Opinion - The Independent

Even now, most global financial institutions and political leaders are advocating wholly orthodox approaches to managing budget deficits and currency volatility, even as their efforts are revealed as being more or less futile, or worse. The truth is perhaps too scary for some to contemplate. Either that, or the temporary winners of the current system are simply filling their boots with as much as they can before the next, potentially even bigger crash.
Those who regard the recent actions of rioters in English cities as "criminality pure and simple" will not see any connection between Roubini's declaration that "Marx was right" and the decision to steal a 42-inch TV from a burning electricals store. But, for some, looting may have seemed a sensible (if illegal) response to the apparently continuous turmoil of the economy. If everything about your financial future seems at best uncertain and at worst desperate, why not carpe diem, or carpe television at any rate?

Guest Post: Corporate America Really Really Cares About Its Employees (Really) - A Distributed Rant | zero hedge
Corporate America Really Really Cares About Its Employees (Really) - A Distributed Rant | zero hedge: "In a recent blog post on the Harvard Business Review web site – and praise be to them for publishing it – Haque let rip on some of the absurdities of contemporary business and economic life. “Just ask yourself,” he wrote, “if you were to walk into any corporation, would you find faces brimming over with deep fulfillment and authentic delight – or stonily asking themselves, ‘If it wasn’t for the accursed paycheck, would I really imprison myself in this dungeon of the human soul?’”"

US economy at tipping point,double-dip risk-Shiller | Reuters:
"'My gut feeling is we might see a continuation of the decline' in home prices, Shiller said earlier on Thursday at a Standard & Poor's housing summit. He added that a 10 percent to 25 percent slump in real home prices 'wouldn't surprise me at all,' though he cautioned that was not a forecast."

A Defiant 'Spanish Revolution' - The Atlantic
Ever since Sunday, May 15th, residents from many cities around Spain have been demonstrating against the country's ongoing financial crisis, its politicians, and its bankers. The spontaneous protests are the largest since the country plunged into recession in 2008, and they're made up mainly of young people who have set up camps in main squares across the country. Called "los indignados" (the indignant), the May 15 Movement, or simply 15-M, they are fueled by frustration with austerity measures, apparent indifference from politicians, and serious joblessness...
