- Assange defense team's chambers' connection to conman William Browder is cause for concern25 Feb 2020—sott.netEdward Fitzgerald, QC, is on the defense team at the Julian Assange extradition hearings.

- Joseph Stiglitz31 May 2000—progressive.orgAmong the economic policy elite, Joseph Stiglitz is a heretic. The most prestigious critic of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the "Washington consensus," Stiglitz has voiced his views in the corridors of power. In 1993, he became a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, and later its chairman. In that role, he cautioned against free market "shock therapy" for Russia. Then, in 1997, he became chief economist of the World Bank, where he tried to push the institution...
