Deregulation
...war has become an extension of politics as almost all aspects of society have been transformed into a combat zone.
US
Oh, and during that same week the FBI, the New York state attorney general’s office and the U.S. Department of Justice all coincidentally announced investigations into the potential improprieties and fraud associated with the topic of Lewis’ book, “high-frequency trading.” When Michael Lewis appears on “60 Minutes” and declares that the U.S. stock market “is rigged,” people pay attention.
In the heart of New York, a forbidden island houses the corpses of America’s poor, homeless, addicted and abandoned – their graves dug by convicts – creating a landfill of poor people.

Gothenburg's public sector employees will have their working hours reduced while being kept on the same pay in effort to create a healthier, happier and cheaper workforce
The inventor of the American suburban shopping mall was a socialist. Could his creation have been saved?
Protest
Unions in Greece have called a national walkout in protest at its austerity measures, as Athens prepares to hold its first long-term bond sale since its debt crisis erupted
At least 80 people – both police and protesters – have been injured as street battles broke out in Rome, with rocks being flung and police deploying pepper spray. Thousands took to the street to march against austerity measures.
