This is happening> in the midst of a multiplicity of crises in relation to food, climate and> energy. It severely weakens the power of the US and the EU, and the global> institutions they dominate, particularly the International Monetary Fund,> the World Bank and the World Trade Organisation. Not only is the legitimacy> of the neo-liberal paradigm in question, but the very future of capitalism> itself.> > > > Such is the chaos in the global financial system that Northern governments> have resorted to measures progressive movements have advocated for years,> such as nationalisation of banks. These moves are intended, however, as> short-term stabilisation measures and once the storm clears, they are likely> to return the banks to the private sector.

People are being> thrown into a deep sense of insecurity; misery and hardship will increase> for many poorer people everywhere. We should not cede this moment to> fascist, right wing populist, xenophobic groups, who will surely try to take> advantage of people's fear and anger for reactionary ends.> > > > Powerful movements against neo-liberalism have been built over many decades.> This will grow as critical coverage of the crisis enlightens more people,> who are already angry at public funds being diverted to pay for problems> they are not responsible for creating, and already concerned about the> ecological crisis and rising prices ? especially of food and energy. The> movements will grow further as recession starts to bite and economies start> sinking into depression.> > > > There is a new openness to alternatives. To capture people's attention and> support, they must be practical and immediately feasible. We have convincing> alternatives that are already underway, and we have many other good ideas> attempted in the past, but defeated. Our alternatives put the well-being of> people and the planet at their centre. For this, democratic control over> financial and economic institutions are required. This is the "red thread"> connecting up the proposals presented below.> > * *> > *Proposals for debate, elaboration and action*> > * *> > *Finance*> > - Introduce full-scale socialisation of banks, not just nationalisation> of bad assets.> - Create people-based banking institutions and strengthen existing> popular forms of lending based on mutuality and solidarity.> - Institutionalise full transparency within the financial system through> the opening of the books to the public, to be facilitated by citizen and> worker organisations.> - Introduce parliamentary and citizens' oversight of the existing banking> system> - Apply social ( including conditions of labour) and environmental> criteria to all lending, including for business purposes> - Prioritise lending, at minimum rates of interest, to meet social and> environmental needs and to expand the already growing social economy> - Overhaul central banks in line with democratically determined social,> environmental and expansionary (to counter the recession) objectives, and> make them publicly accountable institutions.> - Safeguard migrant remittances to their families and introduce> legislation to restrict charges and taxes on transfers> > > > *Taxation*> > - Close all tax havens> - End tax breaks for fossil fuel and nuclear energy companies> - Apply stringent progressive tax systems> - Introduce a global taxation system to prevent transfer pricing and tax> evasion> - Introduce a levy on nationalised bank profits with which to establish> citizen investment funds (see below)> - Impose stringent progressive carbon taxes on those with the biggest> carbon footprints> - Adopt controls, such as Tobin taxes, on the movements of speculative> capital> - Re-introduce tariffs and duties on imports of luxury goods and other> goods already produced locally as a means of increasing the state's fiscal> base, as well as a means to support local production and thereby reduce> carbon emissions globally> > > > *Public Spending and Investment*> > - Radically reduce military spending> - Redirect government spending from bailing out bankers to guaranteeing> basic incomes and social security, and providing universally accessible> basic social services such as housing, water, electricity, health,> education, child care, and access to the internet and other public> communications facilities.> - Use citizen funds (see above) to support very poor communities> - Ensure that people at risk of losing their homes due to defaults on> mortgages caused by the crisis are offered renegotiated terms of payment> - Stop privatisations of public services> - Establish public enterprises under the control of parliaments, local> communities and/or workers to increase employment> - Improve the performance of public enterprises through democratizing> management - encourage public service managers, staff, unions and consumer> organisations to collaborate to this end> - Introduce participatory budgeting over public finances at all feasible> levels> - Invest massively in improved energy efficiency, low carbon emitting> public transport, renewable energy and environmental repair> - Control or subsidise the prices of basic commodities> > > > *International Trade and Finance*> > - Introduce a permanent global ban on short-selling of stock and shares> - Ban on trade in derivatives> - Ban all speculation on staple food commodities> - Cancel the debt of all developing countries ?
