In response to Chris Slee's original post, RKOB said:

"No serious source has ever claimed that ISIS and HTS are
participating in the Turkish attack on Afrin."

Exactly. The PKK and derivatives may have changed their politics over
the years, but unfortunately much of the style of their propaganda
seems to be this same kind of wooden language inherited from the
Stalinist past. Though it struck me a few days ago, when I saw a video
produced by one of the Erdoganist organs showing the Turkish forces
and their ex-rebel proxies in a Kurdish village in Afrin, which read
"No destruction in the captured villages and towns, happy civilians,
food for the civilians, smiling people, no war crimes" etc, just how
similar is this kind of nonsense.

Articles claiming HTS and even ISIS (!) are participating (indeed, are
the dominant force, according to the article), are only designed for
those who have no clue about what is going on in Syria, or those whose
entire source of information is the Rojavist media.

Citing Patrick Cockburn, of all people, is no help to anyone who needs
fact-based analysis of Syria, still less when his entire absurd
article is based on the alleged testimony of one unnamed ex-ISIS
source.

Since I oppose the Turkish attack on Afrin and condemn the role of
some ex-rebel groups in it, and since I have no brief for HTS, still
less ISIS, it would suit my purposes just fine to lap up this
propaganda: see, the FSA and mainstream rebels are innocent and pure;
the so-called rebels that Erdogan has mobilised against Afrin are all
HTS and ISIS!! Would make life so easy. Unfortunately, I have a strong
preference for facts over nonsense, even if the analysis then becomes
more complex.

Whether we like it or not, HTS is one of the few rebel groups, and
probably the only major one, that has played no role whatsoever in the
Afrin operation, because it is extremely independent of Turkish
influence, being well-funded by private pro-jihadist sources from Gulf
and elsewhere. Much as I detest HTS and have always supported the
other rebel groups (FSA/Islamists) when they have clashed with HTS, in
reality we have to give HTS, while holding our noses, some ticks here
for *not participating* in Turkey's attack on Afrin, and rather,
continuing to be a major force in the resistance to the horrific
Assad/Russia/Iran invasion north Hama and Idlib over the last 2
months, an offensive in which on some days the number of civilians
slaughtered has been equal to the total killed in Afrin over several
week, and in which a quarter of a million people have been driven from
their homes.

After writing this, I saw Chris’s latest post, which quotes from the
NYT article which I can’t access. It seems the only evidence that some
HTS cadre are participating in the Afrin offensive, despite all the
evidence to the contrary, is that he says so. Nevertheless, Chris
suggests there may be a split in HTS:

“Currently some HTS members are participating in Turkey's attack on
Afrin, while others are fighting Assad.  This may be just a division
of labor within HTS.  But if Lister is right about divisions within
HTS, it might reflect the different policies of different factions of
HTS.”

But this makes little sense. There was a split in HTS when Turkey
entered Idlib some months ago. HTS was opposed to the Turkish
intervention, but when Turkey intervened anyway, it decided to do a
deal rather than fight. This led to protest by the more hard-line camp
which had opposed HTS’s split with al-Qaida; so HTS then jailed them.
They are not apparently out on the field anywhere; and as they were
the hard-line anti-Turkey camp, it is unlikely they would be fighting
for Turkey. The HTS majority, the more pragmatic camp, are too busy on
the frontlines against Assad.

The assertion that ISIS is part of the Turkish offensive is even more
out of leftfield. ISIS isn't anywhere even remotely nearby, presumably
we are supposed to believe they have made their way through territory
controlled by the regime or by the SDF in the east to get to the
Euphrates Shield-controlled region in northern Aleppo province; and
then, that the Euphrates Shield militias - FSA and various shades of
mainstream Islamists - who drove ISIS out of this region in 2016 then
welcome them back into their ranks (because, as everyone who doesn't
rely on ANF knows, the militia involved in the Afrin operation were
drawn from the Euphrates Shield militias.

In Chris’s latest post, he explains it differently:

“When the Turkish army entered Jarablus in 2016, it met little or no
resistance.  It seemed there was a deal for ISIS to withdraw and allow
Turkey to take over a strip of land along

In a fluorescent lit classroom with handmade posters covering one wall, 
approximately 15 high school students are chanting the words of black 
revolutionary Assata Shakur: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. 
It is our duty to win. We must love each other and we must support each 
other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” With some embarrassed 
giggling, they recite it once, twice, three times, led by their visiting 
speaker, Pamela Gomez of the Hillsborough Community Protection 
Coalition, an alliance of local progressive groups.


These students are some of the 40-odd members of the Blake High School 
chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America (YDSA). The Tampa 
high school has 1,697 students, a majority of them black or Latino, and 
the YDSA chapter reflects that. The chapter also has a high 
concentration of LGBTQ students, the club’s biggest demographic bloc.


The chapter is the brainchild of Graham Shelor, 17. Slim and 
sandy-haired, a contemporary dancer as well as an organizer, Shelor grew 
up in a “fairly liberal” household but became disillusioned with the 
Democratic Party during the 2016 elections. “They lied to me and the 
people of America that they were going to make it work,” he says. “It 
led to a domino effect of me seeing the flaws in the current American 
system.”

(He was in over his head.)

NY Times, Feb. 14, 2018
Morgan Tsvangirai, Longtime Foe of Mugabe in Zimbabwe, Dies at 65
By JEFFREY MOYO and ALAN COWELL

HARARE, Zimbabwe — Morgan Tsvangirai, a former labor leader and prime 
minister of Zimbabwe who once seemed on the cusp of defeating the 
country’s longtime president, Robert G. Mugabe, only to face bloody 
intimidation that thwarted his ambitions, died on Wednesday night. He 
was 65.


Elias Mudzuri, the vice president of Mr. Tsvangirai’s Movement for 
Democratic Change, confirmed the death. The cause was colon cancer, for 
which Mr. Tsvangirai had been hospitalized in South Africa for months.


He died less than three months after his longtime nemesis, Mr. Mugabe, 
was ousted by the military last November as part of a struggle within 
the governing party, ZANU-PF.


For almost 20 years, Mr. Tsvangirai (pronounced CHAN-gih-ray) headed the 
Movement for Democratic Change, a party founded in 1999 to capitalize on 
the growing unpopularity of the autocratic Mr. Mugabe, who led Zimbabwe 
from its independence in 1980.


In 2002 and again in 2008, Mr. Tsvangirai stood against Mr. Mugabe in 
elections marred by growing levels of violence against opposition 
supporters by government followers.


The abuses peaked in 2008, when Mr. Tsvangirai won more votes than Mr. 
Mugabe in the election’s first round but withdrew from a runoff, saying 
he did not want anyone to be murdered for voting. About 200 of his 
supporters had already been killed.


Mr. Tsvangirai proved no match for Mr. Mugabe’s wily political 
maneuvering, which drew on his record as a leader in the struggle 
against white minority rule, his often violent intolerance of 
opposition, and his ability to marshal support from regional and broader 
African political forces.


Mr. Mugabe frequently inveighed against Britain, the former colonial 
power, and depicted his adversaries, including Mr. Tsvangirai, as 
puppets of the country’s former imperial overlords.


When Mr. Tsvangirai became prime minister in 2009 under a power-sharing 
agreement brokered by neighboring South Africa after the flawed vote of 
2008, the pact and his new job diminished his ability to oppose the 
president.


Even as he accused Mr. Mugabe of flouting provisions of the so-called 
unity government, many critics said Mr. Tsvangirai had been outwitted 
and co-opted by the president, his former sworn enemy. Indeed, Mr. 
Tsvangirai seemed to settle into a more comfortable relationship with 
him, built on the privileges of office.


In 2012, after Mr. Tsvangirai celebrated his second marriage with a 
glitzy party attended by guests arriving in Bentleys, Mercedes and BMWs, 
some of his followers were aghast at the ostentatiousness of the display 
and questioned who had paid for it.


By the time elections were held the following year, Mr. Tsvangirai was 
greatly weakened. He accused Mr. Mugabe of rigging the election and 
challenged him in the courts. But Mr. Mugabe claimed victory with 61 
percent of the vote, compared with 34 percent for Mr. Tsvangirai, and it 
seemed that Mr. Tsvangirai’s brush with high office was over. That was 
certainly Mr. Mugabe’s view.


“We have thrown the enemy away like garbage,” Mr. Mugabe said. “We say 
to them: You are never going to rise again.”


For all that, Mr. Tsvangirai appeared in recent months to be attempting 
a comeback, even as he made frequent trips abroad for colon cancer 
treatment.


In 2017, he was part of a so-called united front with other opposition 
groups, including the Zimbabwe People First movement, which is led by 
Joice Mujuru, a former vice president and onetime guerrilla fighter who 
was ousted by Mr. Mugabe in 2014.


“In 2013, we don’t know what hit us,” Mr. Tsvangirai said last year, 
finally conceding that he had been beaten in the polls that year. “We 
were defeated. But this time, we will refuse to be defeated.”


The intention behind the alliance with Ms. Mujuru was to challenge Mr. 
Mugabe in elections in 2018, but that strategy was eclipsed by the 
military-backed intervention last November that brought Emmerson 
Mnangagwa, a former ally of Mr. Mugabe’s, to power.


After Mr. Mugabe was overthrown, there was fevered speculation that Mr. 
Mnangagwa would seek a more inclusive form of rule than that of the 
leader he had just ousted. Instead, Mr. Mnangagwa lauded Mr. Mugabe and 
announced a government of his own supporters, including the military.


Even as he fell ill with cancer, however, Mr. Tsvangirai failed to groom 
a successor, and he left behind a fractured party with no obvious leader 
to challenge Mr. Mnangagwa in the elections expected this

[Marxism] Fw: Jaysh al Thuwar commander: Turkey turned ISIS, Al Nusra into FSA (ANF)

The two Jaysh al Thuwar commanders qoted in the article did not go into detail 
about the exact relationship between Turkey, ISIS and HTS.  This was not the 
focus of their brief comments.

Their main point was that Jaysh al Thuwar represents the real continuation of 
the original Free Syrian Army, while Turkey's proxy force that uses the name 
"FSA" includes a lot of people from a completely different background and with 
completely different politics, including current or former HTS and ISIS members.

Turkey and HTS

It seems that the quote which I gave from Rod Nordland was not clear enough.  I 
will give a slightly longer quote, which makes it clearer that HTS is 
participating in Turkey's attack on Afrin.

Nordland refers to the shooting down of a Russian plane and says:

"A onetime affiliate of Al Qaeda in Syria, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or H.T.S., 
claimed responsibility, broadcasting 
footage of the plane’s downing. 
Elements of that same group [i.e. HTS] are among the Free Syrian Army militias, 
many of them Islamist extremists, who are allied with the Turks and fighting in 
Afrin, according to the group [i.e. HTS] and to analysts in the area."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/04/world/middleeast/turkey-afrin-syria.html

The relationship between Turkey and HTS is complex.  Last year Charles Lister, 
a "Syria specialist" and "terrorism expert" who seemed to support Turkey's 
intervention in Syria at that time, wrote an article discussing differences 
within HTS, and claiming that Turkey was likely to try to split the 
organisation:

https://warontherocks.com/2017/10/turkeys-idlib-incursion-and-the-hts-question-understanding-the-long-game-in-syria/

Currently some HTS members are participating in Turkey's attack on Afrin, while 
others are fighting Assad.  This may be just a division of labor within HTS.  
But if Lister is right about divisions within HTS, it might reflect the 
different policies of different factions of HTS.

Turkey and ISIS

There is a history of collaboration between Turkey and ISIS in attacking 
Rojava.  However relations betweem them were not always completely harmonious.

When the Turkish army entered Jarablus in 2016, it met little or no resistance. 
 It seemed there was a deal for ISIS to withdraw and allow Turkey to take over 
a strip of land along the border.

There were also reports that some ISIS members stayed in the Turkish controlled 
area and joined Turkey's version of the "Free Syrian Army".

However it seems there was disagreement over how far ISIS should withdraw, 
resulting in armed conflict at al-Bab.  This dispute was resolved and 
cooperation was resumed.

Due to the defeats suffered by ISIS over the past year, Turkey now has no 
border with ISIS-controlled territory.  But Turkey's invasion of Afrin and 
attacks on other parts of the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria help ISIS 
by diverting the Syrian Democratic Forces away from their offensive against 
ISIS.

Subject: Re: [Marxism] Jaysh al Thuwar commander: Turkey turned ISIS, Al Nusra

To avoid any misunderstanding: I totally condemn the Turkish invasion in Afrin 
and all those FSA people who participate in this are traitors in my opinion (We 
said so already immediately after the invasion began: 
https://www.thecommunists.net/worldwide/africa-and-middle-east/no-to-turkey-s-attack-on-afrin/)
But I strongly protested and still protest about the ridiculous silly thing 
which this SDF commander says and which you approvingly distributed. He said 
that ISIS and HTS are attacking Afrin. Just read the quote which you yourself 
forwarded again:

"The forces gathered under the Jaysh Al Thuwar (“Army of Revolutionaries”) 
umbrella say they are the true FSA and they have come together for the Syrian 
revolution, while those who attack Afrin are ISIS, Hayat Tahrir Al Sham 
(formerly Al Nusra)..."

This is simply an insult against common sense!

Now you claim, in defense, that a pro-Assad writer like Patrick Cockburn says 
that there are many ex-ISIS fighters in the pro-Turkish FSA units. The second 
defense is that the New York Times writes that there are many "Islamic 
extremists" inside the pro-Turkish FSA units.

Leaving aside that I have some scepticism about these two sources, the point is 
that even if they are correct, this is still something very different than 
saying that today ISIS and HTS attack Afrin together with the Turkish Army!

As you will surely be aware that there are many ex-officers and

I rewgret to say that I think my colleague and comrade David W is wrong

translator of the original English version - although a closer 
examination might reveal some information.



Next I am looking at the Charles H Kerr blurb for the above-referenced
complete three-volume first English edition of Capital, and it also says
nothing about volumes 2 & 3 being translated by Engels. It does NOT
indicate who translated from the German. My thinking is that translation by
Engels would be a serious selling point, so I wonder why it is not
mentioned either by Charles H Kerr or by International Publishers.

I'm pretty sure I remember the name Wilhelm Wolff being associated with the
translation of Capital but I lack the energy to track it down. Now I am
going to message Lucia Pradella to see what she knows, she's been heavy

The first volume of capital is dedicated to Wilhelm Wolff, who was a 
close friend and comrade of Marx, but he died before the completion of 
Capital Vol 1 and left Marx a small legacy. He had nothing to do with 
translating it.

If you want to understand the social contradictions in Iran that lead to 
periodic explosions like those that took place recently, there is no 
better resource than Iranian film. Often risking repression, which at 
its most extreme cost the life of environmentalist Kavous Seyed Emami, 
filmmakers put a spotlight on the grievances of large parts of the 
population, especially women and those who have not benefited from the 
wealth-producing oil rentier state.


New Yorkers have an unparalleled opportunity to see Iranian film at its 
best this month from two unheralded directors. On February 14th, the 
Film Forum will be showing “Tehran Taboo”, a noirish animated feature by 
Ali Soozandeh who lives and works in Germany after leaving Iran in 1995 
at the age of 25. I have no doubt that “Tehran Taboo” will get my 
nomination as both best foreign-language and animated film for 2018. It 
is the story of three women dealing with different aspects of a 
suffocating patriarchy and one young man trying to live the life of a 
free artist in an unfree society. On February 23rd, the Anthology Film 
Archives will be showing a retrospective of Mehrdad Oskouei’s 
documentaries that address Iran’s deep-seated gender and class 
injustices. While Iranian film is best known in the West for the 
narrative works of Abbas Kiarostami, Jafar Panahi and Asghar Farhadi, 
Oskouei deserves pride of place alongside such masters. His work has 
appeared at over 400 film festivals in over 50 countries and earning him 
over 90 awards, so it is high time for a retrospective here and now

history I made up this in case we show it around here.

*Cast of Characters: The Young Karl Marx*


*J**enny Von Westphalen*

Jenny Von Westphalen was born into a prominemt family in Trier and 
married Karl Marx after a lengthy engagement.


Is said to have been an early influence on his politics and was involved 
with his work throughout her difficult life.



*Friedrich Engels*


Lifelong co-worker with _Karl Marx

_The Communist Manifesto 
_ among 
many others.


Engels translated many of Marx's works into English. In his last years 
he was the outstanding figure of the young Second International.




*Mary Burns*


One-time lover/admirer of Frederick Engels and sister of Lizzy Burns.


*Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel*


The most important representative of classical German philosophy; he 
represented an objective idealism;


a brilliant investigator of the laws of dialectic, which he was the 
first consciously to apply. An understanding of the influence Hegel had 
on Marx and Engels, and their opinions of Hegel:



*Arnold Ruge*


Young Hegelian. Editor of Hallische Jahrbücher, then published Marx’s 
first really comprehensive political treatise.


With Marx, Feuerbach, and Bakunin, founded the 
newspaper Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher. Broke with Marx in quarrel 
over Herwegh.

One of Germany’s first proletarian writers. Collaborated with Blanqui. 
German utopian egalitarian socialist.


A tailor and travelling activist in proletarian movements. Criticised by 
Marx.



*Pierre Joseph Proudhon*


French political economist and acknowledged by Bakunin as the founder 
of anarchism, envisioned a society of independent, self-employed artisans.



*Karl Von Bruhn*


German communist journalist. Expelled from the Communist League in 1850. 
Later, 1861-66, editor of the Lassallean paper Nordstern, Hamburg.



*Michael Bakunin*


Russian revolutionary. One of the founders of anarchism. In the 1830s 
Bakunin was a Young Hegelian.


In 1848 he took part in the German revolution (the rising in Dresden). 
He was arrested (1849), and eventually handed


over to the Russian government and sentenced to life imprisonment. After 
the death of the Tsar Nicholas I, Bakunin was exiled to Siberia (1857). 
In 1861 he escaped exile and went to London.

It very quickly became evident that it deserved very close attention. 
Who'd have imagined that professional actors vied with the each other 
for the role of Arnold Ruge?

(Eduardo Porter is always very interesting.)

NY Times, Feb. 14, 2018
Big Profits Drove a Stock Boom. Did the Economy Pay a Price?
by Eduardo Porter

Stocks are too expensive.

This is not a market forecast. I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if 
the Dow shrugged off its recent turbulence and continued its long upward 
thrust. What I contend is that if the American economy behaved in the 
way that most economists say market economies should, stocks would in 
all likelihood be cheaper.


It is a grim proposition. Wall Street’s titans might welcome the fact 
that equity prices have grossly exceeded what a well-functioning, 
competitive economy should deliver. But for almost everybody else, it 
amounts to a disaster. From wage stagnation to the depressed investment 
rates that are holding back long-term economic growth, many of the fault 
lines running through the American economy can be traced back to the 
same root cause powering the rise of America’s overpriced stocks.


Consider a few facts. The average financial wealth of American 
households — the market value of housing, stocks, bonds, business assets 
and the like, beyond their liabilities — has grown much faster than the 
nation’s income over the last half-century.


This would not be weird were American households saving more and 
investing their savings in productive ventures. They are not. The 
personal savings rate has declined sharply. The ratio of the capital 
stock — the value of factories, machines and such — to the nation’s 
economic output has actually declined a little since the 1970s.


What has enhanced wealth in recent years is the huge rise in stock 
prices. The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index increased 8 percent per 
year from 1970 to 2015, on average. According to an analysis by Germán 
Gutiérrez and Thomas Philippon of New York University, the ratio of the 
market value of American corporations to the replacement value of their 
capital stock has roughly tripled since the 1970s.


What makes this particularly puzzling for scholars reared on the 
classical models of competitive economies is that all this happened 
despite a persistent decline in real interest rates. In a more orthodox 
economy, declining rates on corporate bonds would encourage a surge in 
corporate investment. As companies invested more and more capital, the 
returns on investments would gradually decline until companies’ returns 
matched their cost of capital: the interest rate they pay to borrow.


The Stock Market Isn’t the Economy. Here’s How They Can Shape Each Other
Stock markets have recently fallen over fears that economic growth is 
too strong. Here’s why, and one way how steep, sustained sell-offs could 
end up hurting the economy.



In the United States, neither has occurred. Investment has been stuck at 
stubbornly low rates. And even as interest rates have fallen, the 
average return on productive capital has stayed roughly constant.


In a nutshell, the United States has built an economy where businesses 
don’t invest even though it has rarely been cheaper to finance 
investment. Still, they reap spectacular profits that warrant runaway 
share prices.


“These are not your father’s growth facts,” wrote Gauti Eggertsson, 
Jacob A. Robbins and Ella Getz Wold of Brown University in an analysis 
published this week by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. The 
puzzling facts of contemporary America suggest an economy poised to fail.


What happened? It turns out that there is one straightforward reason for 
the American economy’s unorthodox behavior. As Mr. Eggertsson and his 
colleagues argue, the standard economic theory based on competitive 
markets cannot apply when markets are not competitive. And competition, 
in the United States, is shriveling.


The scholars argue that the American economy is afflicted by “rents” — 
returns in excess of what investments would yield in a competitive 
economy, where fat margins are quickly whittled away by competition.


These rents don’t fall from the sky. Companies free of competitive 
pressures, with the power to set prices more or less at will, squeeze 
them from their customers and their workers. They pad corporate profits 
and send stock prices sky high.


This doesn’t necessarily mean, by the way, that the corporate landscape 
has been taken over by evil monopolists that resort to illegal tricks to 
keep competitors out. High-tech titans like Google and Facebook may just 
have the ability and the deep pockets to out-innovate everybody — 
delivering wonderful new experiences to consumers along the way, and 
maintaining monopoly control over their latest innovations. One 
intriguing

to make earth.
Out of the mother; and through the spring exultances, ripeness and deca-

A mortal splendor: meteors are not needed less than mountains:
shine, perishing republic.
But for my children, I would have them keep their distance from the thick-

Never has been compulsory, when the cities lie at the monster's feet there
are left the mountains.
And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man, a clever servant,
insufferable master.
There is the trap that catches noblest spirits, that caught--they say--
God, when he walked on earth.

SHARMINI PERIES: Joining me now to analyze the infrastructure proposal 
is Michael Hudson. Michael is a distinguished research professor of 
economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He’s the author of 
several books, the most recent among them is J is for Junk 
Economics….Michael, it sounds like you had your own infrastructure 
failure experience last night. Tell us about it.


MICHAEL HUDSON: I was coming back from Washington from a week at 
Democracy Collaborative on a $400 round trip on the Acela Express, which 
is supposed to be the elite Amtrak. We left Washington at 3:00. At 5:30, 
just before we got to New York, the train stopped. The conductor said, 
“We were told we can’t go any further, there is a track power outage, no 
trains are running in and out of Penn Station.” He suggested if anyone 
wanted to take the Jersey tubes across the station platform, they could 
do that. But there was no idea when things would be restored.


So, everybody waited about five minutes. Then about half the people got 
off and got into the New Jersey tube train standing shoulder the 
shoulder. But that wasn’t moving because they had an announcement there 
was no electricity going in and out of New York, you can’t get there. 
So, I shared an Uber cab with someone who was sitting next to me to get 
into Manhattan.


I may add that the trip was so jiggly that it was very hard to read or 
to write along the whole route. That means that the idea that somehow an 
infrastructure plan can develop a China-style, high-speed transit is 
just a fantasy. In order to have high-speed transit with anything really 
fast, you need a dedicated roadway. While I was in Washington, the 
Republicans, as you know, were going to their meeting down south, and 
their Amtrak train crashed into a garbage truck. You can imagine that a 
train track that goes through crossing gate crossings wouldn’t possibly 
work for high-speed rail.


Also, the cost would, I think, be closer to $20 trillion just to buy the 
land rights along the current railroad or other route, because the land 
is all built up in America. There’s a law of eminent domain and there 
have been so many lawsuits that it’s completely infeasible to rebuild 
the railroads.

Sociobiologist Stephen Pinker pissed off about the influence of Thomas

There are two new mainstream papers out that offer some interesting 
analysis on the reasons behind the Long Depression that the major 
economies (or at least, the US) have suffered since the end of the Great 
Recession in 2009 – in the growth of real GDP, productivity, investment 
and employment.


First, there is a paper by economists at the San Francisco Federal 
Reserve.  The Disappointing Recovery in U.S. Output after 2009 by John 
Fernald, Robert E. Hall, James H. Stock, and Mark W. Watson.  They 
consider the well-known evidence that US real GDP growth has expanded 
only slowly since the recession trough in 2009, counter to normal 
expectations of a rapid cyclical recovery.  In the paper, they remove 
the “cyclical effects” of the Great Recession and find that there was 
already a sharply slowing trend in underlying growth before the global 
financial crash in 2008.  The Fed economists conclude that the slowing 
trend reflected two factors: slow growth of innovation and declining 
labour force participation.
