Trapped in the eurozone \| Costas Lapavitsas	2.10.2010	Guardian: Comment is Free
For Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain, defaulting on their debt is no longer unthinkable Only a brave person, or an appropriately paid official, would be optimistic about the future of the eurozone at present. Austerity has spread and there is a risk of long-term stagnation with high unemployment across Europe. Social tensions are on the rise , and frictions among member states will probably intensify. A taste of things to come was given by the marches and strikes organised by trade unions across the continent this week. Much of the trouble originates in the peripheral countries of the eurozone – Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland . All went into recession during 2008-9 as the global crisis unfolded, narrowly avoiding disaster thanks to public intervention.

True cost of cheap pineapples in UK supermarkets	1.10.2010	Guardian: Environment
Workers in developing nations endure injury, chemicals, low wages and union repression so British consumers can pay less UK supermarket price wars are wrecking lives in the developing world, according to a new campaign launched tomorrow by Consumers International (CI). Recent deep cuts in the price of pineapples on the British high street have inflicted unacceptable damage on those living and working on plantations in Costa Rica , the consumer group says. An investigation by Guardian Films [click for video] , with funding from CI, has found a catalogue of environmental and social damage caused by intensive tropical fruit production in Costa Rica, from where three-quarters of pineapples sold in the UK come.
