General Glut, sworn enemy of Jean-Baptiste Say and neo-classical economics, continues to maintain as he has through the days of Sismondi, Marx and Keynes that capitalism's tendencies are toward crises of overaccumulation and underconsumption.
The General's suspicion is that the brinkmanship practiced today is much less likely to wind up in a sudden agreement out of the blue, not the least of which being because the Global South is much more strongly positioned today than ten years ago and the US is much more unilateralist than ten years ago.
The General says this to put in context news that "War and lawlessness have helped make Afghanistan the world's largest opium producer and a government ban is unlikely to make a significant dent in last year's poppy production".

With the election commission's computerized tally expected to take a week or longer to complete, interest was focused on whether Yudhoyono will battle Megawati or his former army boss Wiranto in the second round.
