The truth about our spin doctors - they're really not much good
Article Abstract:
Most of the efforts to modern spin doctors seem to be directed towards damaging the reputation of members of their own party. Spin doctors wield a considerable amount of power, but fail to use it properly. A key difficulty is that their power tends to suppress open public debate, as they put party members under strong pressure to stick to the official party line at all times. Spin doctors have to serve many different masters, and this means that they often fail to act appropriately.

It's the rich wot gets the richer and Harriet wot gets the blame
Article Abstract:
New UK Social Security Secretary Alastair Darling must recognize that the social security budget rises and falls with unemployment. If welfare spending is to be reduced, then unemployment must be cut, but this is a difficult task while the pound is overvalued. The most logical solution to the UK's present welfare problems would be to increase the tax take from the richest parts of society, thus cutting inequality and improving social security provision.

It wasn't free enterprise that failed Russia, but the leaders of the West
Article Abstract:
The West failed to take account of viable alternatives to Russian President Boris Yeltsin because it was possible to manipulate Yeltsin, who was willing to follow World Bank and International Monetary Fund advice. The West's attitude had disastrous consequences for ordinary Russians, who have had to face very high crime levels and great economic hardship. Failing to approach Russia's problems more effectively has turned it into a Third World country.
