Issue 54, April 1993 Slump specialThis month's Living Marxism focuses on the continuing crisis in the economy - and its dire consequences for working people. We ask Britain's economics experts how they see the prospects for recovery. And our own experts explain why they don't see the slump coming to an end. We also go beyond the debate about statistics, to look at the human cost of the capitalist slump which is being borne by millions. Mass unemployment is one consequence; we examine how it is now being blamed on the jobless themselves. Welfare spending cuts are another; we show how the cuts are being disguised by such policies as 'Care in the Community' and the Child Support Act. Finally we reveal some links between the slump in the economy and the dangerous rise of militarism. It seems like the sound of gunfire is the only boom we can expect for the foreseeable future. 4 Editorial 6 Letters 8 Breaking the selective silence Joan Phillips 11 Ann Bradley 12 Is the recovery coming?
