At long last, the people of Europe are beginning to push back against euroliberalism and its toxic byproducts, neo-nationalism, militarism and war. Celebrated economist Emmanuel Piketty issued this call for transforming Europe's economic policies from nightmarish austerity into eco-friendly growth.
The folks at Progressive Economy issued a similar call for change (text available here).
Finally, Yanis Varoufakis endorsed Alexis Tsipras for the post of President of the European Commission.
2014 is the year when Europe must decide: continued austerity means ever more wealth in the hands of ever fewer plutocrats, and a downwards spiral of mass misery, ethnic hatred, compensatory militarism, violence and ultimately war (imagine Ukraine's troubles, magnified by one million) swamp everyone else. The alternative is an end to austerity, and eco-investment in prosperity for all.
