Channel: Green Left
Date: 2016-01-14

Presented by Vivian Messimeris, political journalist, at the Radical Ideas Conference held in Sydney in December 2015. This talk covered the crisis of capitalism in Europe where a tide of brutal austerity has been ushered in leaving ordinary people behind as it has torn apart long standing social safety nets. As standards of living have fallen and unemployment has risen, Europe has seen the growth of massive social movements which are challenging the established system of power and domination of the European ruling class.
