Quick Economic Links for N13

• Steven Shaviro has a brief review of why people who’ve ever paid attention to anti-capitalist theories of the economy should not be surprised at the fact of our current crisis.
• John Robb has an excellent series of links himself on this topic, pointing especially to the few attempts to stop mass foreclosures in cities, and a point to the second in a (so-far) two-part series on This American Life which does a pretty excellent job for those of us who are attempting to quickly get a leg up on the facts driving the crisis.
• KI-Media offers an English-language translation of an article from RFA, which reports that Thailand continues to kick Cambodian migrant workers out of the country. Meanwhile, unemployment in Cambodia is rising.
• Remember all those enormous (and largely unfinished, right?) skyscrapers that the Sensation was promoting? Some people are starting to sound the alarm on these: Asia Bracing for Downturn in Property Markets.
• DAS reports on some good Cambodian economic news: apparently there is still business for Cambodian Garment Factories.
