OUT NOW ON METAMUTE.ORG: * The Three P's by Rob Ray As money expands, society contracts. In the UK the unholy trinity of Private Finance Initiatives, Private Equity and Pensions embodies this logic, turning jobs, services and infrastructure into factories for finance capital. Rob Ray explains how the 3 P's interact to pile up corporate fortunes and devolve risk on to the rest of us http://www.metamute.org/en/The-3-Ps * Synaesthesia and Reductionism at the Venice Biennale by Nick Brooks This year Europe has experienced what has been touted as 'the summer of art'. With the rare cyclical alignment of the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, Documenta 12 and Munster Skulptur Projekte, organisers of the four events have collaborated on a website [www.grandtour2007.com] to help coordinate the itineraries of those jet-set art lovers that would follow in the edifying footsteps of their 18th Century precursors. In 2007 Art has never been so big and apparently neither have the wallets of those stalking it. http://www.metamute.org/en/Synaesthesia-and-Reductionism-at-the-Venice-Biennale From our News and Analysis open publishing area: * Very Scary Things by Paul Krugman I'm sure many have been following the financial meltdown over recent weeks. Financial Times video diarist John Authers ended his report yesterday saying "we are living in very dangerous times." Below is Paul Krugman reiterating Auther's frightening revelation that the liquidity tap seems to be turning off. http://www.metamute.org/en/node/10794 * A Bridge Collapses by New York Times Editorial Back to the bridge. Apparently the New York Times is pissed off about last week's Minneapolis bridge collapse, and the steam pipe that blew up round the corner from their offices too. Turns out that bridges are the *least* decayed part of the US's dodgy inventory. http://www.metamute.org/en/A-Bridge-Collapses _______________________________________________ Mute-social mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.metamute.org/mailman/listinfo/mute-social _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
