The limits of market rationality

The limits of market rationality

By Kim on August 8, 2011

On one hand, this whole global financial crisis (is that what we’re having again?) thing is horrendously complex. On the other, it’s quite simple. Let’s focus on the simple. The meltdown that followed the end of the credit and housing [...]

Peter Mandelson’s The Third Man

By Mark Bahnisch on September 21, 2010

Peter Mandelson‘s memoir, The Third Man, was timed for maximum impact, being released just after the British election this year. Mandelson’s musings were condemned as unhelpful by the full gamut of UK Labour figures (including Tony Blair, who was perhaps [...]

Julia Gillard, presidential governance and the future of progressive politics

By Kim on July 9, 2010

Tigtog has written an interesting and thoughtful post at Hoyden About Town, reflecting on a number of aspects of the way Julia Gillard’s rise to power, and her performance in her short time as PM, has been discussed. Of particular [...]

The Labor leadership legitimacy post we had to have

By Mark Bahnisch on June 30, 2010

There is no doubt that the removal last week of a first term Prime Minister, elected through a largely personal campaign (and I defy anyone to assert that the Kevin07 branding paled into insignificance beside Labor’s party image), caused some [...]

David Cameron's Broken Britain

By Mark Bahnisch on May 13, 2010

I have an article at the ABC’s The Drum today about the British election and its aftermath, focusing on how much change the eventual deal implies. NB: Previous LP British election coverage here. Update: Interesting piece from Seumas Milne.

Lib Dems to decide: Labour or Tories? #ukvote #ge210 #dontdoitnick

By Mark Bahnisch on May 10, 2010

The Guardian is reporting that Nick Clegg will announce within 24 hours whether the Liberal Democrats will go into Coalition with the Conservatives or support a minority Tory administration or join a “Progressive Alliance” comprising Labour, the SNP, Plaid Cymru [...]

The UK election: there was a verdict

By Mark Bahnisch on May 7, 2010

Clearly, the results of the UK election are inconclusive – Labour doing much better than expected, and the Liberal Democrats worse, with the Tories falling short of a majority. Similarly, the regional pattern is quite varied – with Labour holding [...]

Gordon Brown keeps the faith

By Mark Bahnisch on May 4, 2010

LBJ used to tell a story about an old Southern Senator who, depressed by the repetitive politics of race baiting and populism, yearns to return to his state one last time to give a “good old Democratic speech”. Today, Gordon [...]

Lib Dems the game changer?

By Kim on April 20, 2010

Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg’s performance in the first of three televised debates in the UK election has become something of a game changer, leading to a surge for his party, now ahead of the pack in one poll, and [...]

Rudd unwhacked

By Mark Bahnisch on March 2, 2010

Newspoll came in last night with essentially a status quo result, with both parties one point up on primaries (and the 2PP changing one point down each way to 52-48 because of a measured fall in The Greens’ primary.) I [...]

Bernanke's confirmation in doubt

By Mark Bahnisch on January 26, 2010

A number of US financial blogs are reporting that Ben Bernanke faces a chance of failure to be confirmed by the American Senate for a second term in office. James Bianco at The Big Picture has all the details, and [...]
