[GlobalResearch.ca] Economic Crisis: No End In Sight: The causes of the Great Depression need more study, but the claims that losses on stock-market speculation and a monetary contraction caused the decline of the banking system both seem inadequate. It appears that both the Great Depression and the current crisis had their origins in excessive consumer debt -- especially mortgage debt -- that was transmitted into the financial sector during a sharp downturn.

[New Government Speeches] D Africa: North West Economic Development and Tourism Prov Budget ...: In her state of the province address, the Premier reported from this very podium that there is proportionate reduction in the numbers of poor household from 56,6% in 2004 to 50% in 2006. That people who in the past could not access piped clean water, electricity, telephone lines, houses, refuse removal are increasingly accessing these basic services today, confirms our commitment that, as Denis Goulet asserts "we need to design and build a developmental state based on tradition and indigenous values which espouse a philosophy of change founded on a basic trust in the ability of people, no matter how impoverished, to improve their lives and understand the social forces that affect them and eventually to harness these forces to processes of genuine human and societal development" (Goulet, 1987:176)

[The Baseline Scenario] Global Economic Outlook (Senate Testimony) « The Baseline Scenario: The reaction that one hears from senior European officials and richer Eurozone countries is that Greece (and Spain and Italy and others) should deal with their fiscal problems themselves. There is very little sympathy. However, we expect that in the end Greece will receive a bailout from other Eurozone countries (and probably from the EU). This, however, does not come early enough to prevent problems from spreading to Ireland and other smaller countries (which then also need to implement fiscal austerity or to receive support).  Italy is also likely to come under pressure, due to its high debt levels, and here there will be no way other than austerity.  With or without a bailout, Greece and other weaker euro sovereigns will need to implement fiscal austerity.  The net result is less fiscal stimulus than would otherwise be possible, and in fact there is a move to austerity among stronger euro sovereigns as a signal. Governments will therefore struggle to dissave enough to offset the increase in private sector savings.
