Please find Reactions to Mr Osborne's Autumn Statement by Members of the Network for Economists for Rational Economic Policies (EREP)
Today, Chancellor George Osborne set out the Conservative Government's fiscal plans for the current Parliament and beyond. Although it slightly eases the speed and scope of the spending reductions from the previous July estimates, it still envisages an overall budget surplus of over £10 billion by the last year of this Parliament, 2019/20.
We give below the first reactions to the Chancellor's speech from four members of the network Economists for Rational Economic Policies (EREP) – Professor John Weeks, Dr Jo Michell, Ann Pettifor, and Jeremy Smith.

War Book Film Comments
On 8th August Vijay Mehta along with a Professor from Kings College London were panel speakers at a screening of the film War Book produced by Stray Bear Films. The screening of the film took place at the Cambridge Picture House.
War Book film takes place over three days as nine Government Officials gather to take part in a policy shaping scenario. They are there to take decisions on Britain's reaction to an International Nuclear attack. At first the participants are casual, playing out the scenario against a backdrop of their own petty squabbles and personal ambitions. Only two participants know the truth - that the country is secretly facing a real nuclear threat, and that their theoretical responses may become reality sooner than they know.
A vibrant discussion took place between the audience and the panel speakers which included exploration of the Trident, its ownership, its responsiblity, its ethics and much more.
Thanks to Lauren Dark and Jack Peters for inviting to share the film and the Q&A session.

Tony Benn, Uniting for Peace Patron, died at the age of 88 on 14 March 2014. He was one of our longest serving supporters and a inspiration for all those working for a world of Peace and Justice. It was amazing that being a pivotal figure in Labour in British Left-Wing Politics he still found time to comment and participate in our activities
There were many opportunities when I met Tony and one of them was when Uniting for Peace organised an event for Oxford. The meeting took place at Oxford town hall and was chaired by the Mayor of Oxford including Tony Benn and myself and other speakers. The town hall was packed and it was amazing to see a large audience, people from all walks of life who had come to listen to him. He was as usual in great form and the meeting and question & answer session was a great success.
He was very appreciative of our peace work particularly in the promotion of United Nations. He suggested that we should get Kofi Annan former Secretary Geneeral United Nations to be a keynote speaker at our Annual Erskine Childers Lecture. Since that time I have been trying every year to get Kofi Annan to speak for us. I have not given it up Tony and one day we are going to get him for our Annual Lecture.
Thanks for all the support and we will miss you Tony - A tribute by Vijay Mehta

At the end of a week in which the largest arms fair in the world took place in London, about 70 Justice and Peace activists, many from the host dioceses of Shrewsbury and Wrexham, attended the NJPN quarterly meeting in Chester on Saturday 14 September. Keynote speaker Vijay Mehta shared his vision for world peace, outlined in his book The Economics of Killing: How the West fuels wars and poverty in the developing world, and introduced the peace programme 4D which stands for Disarmament, Demilitarisation, Development and Democracy.
Using a short film made by Uniting for Peace (www.unitingforpeace.com) which charted war since the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and featured peacemakers such as Gandhi and Rev Martin Luther King Jr it explored ways of advancing non-violent initiatives. One such idea is Peace One Day, celebrated every year on 21 September.
Founded by film-maker Jeremy Gilley just twelve years ago it has achieved a UN backed resolution for an international Day of Peace with the ultimate aim of making every day a day of peace and non-violence. Jeremy's commitment and enthusiasm, evident in the film clip, is outstanding. I have shared his story with school and Confirmation groups to encourage and inspire young people. The theme for this year's Peace One Day is Who will YOU make peace with?
It challenges and invites us to take personal responsibility to become peacemakers in whatever way we can. Do try to mark the day in your parishes or at home – go to www.peaceoneday.org
The overwhelming theme of the Chester meeting, in spite of all the problems in our world today, was one of hope. We all came away heartened and revitalised.

The fact that the economic West takes advantage of developing countries is a whisper on the wind that often blows out of earshot when placed next to the loud and bold political proclamations of international aid and development do-goodery.
Vijay Metha blows apart the myth of governmental philanthropy without reward and delves into the military-industrial complex which, as he meticulously argues, consistently beats down peaceful progress.
Economics of Killing" by India Infoline News Servic,
Oct 15, 2012
At this important time in history when India needs more growth for poverty reduction, it is dangerously militarising itself which is a provocation for more violence and terrorism, Vijay Mehta along with many others are concerned that in a country with a history of nonviolent leadership, why are we embarking on a path of destruction instead of working for the interest of its citizens.
The shift in world military spending specially to the three big developing countries in Asia, India, Pakistan and China, is a beginning of a new cold war in the region. According to the report released by SIPRI March, 2012, India now is the world's biggest weapons purchaser (10%) global arms imports along with 4 other countries all in Asia - South Korea (6% of total arms transfers), Pakistan (5%), China (5%) and Singapore (4%). The top leaders, elites and corporation for their profit and greed have plunged the Asian subcontinent into turmoil. This is one of the prime reasons for terrorism, violence, and extreme poverty in India and around.
Mehta exposes the spiralling cycle of militarism that underlies the economic crisis that rocked the world in 2008. Mainstream economists ignore the burden and wastefulness of the military economy when they attempt to explain the economic crisis. Mehta makes it clear that we are trapped in a wasteful killing–based economy that deifies all logic, morality and common sense. The world´s resources are finite; more than one billion people live in abject poverty without sufficient food, clean water, decent housing, adequate medical care or education. Yet we continue at a frightening pace to produce more armaments from thriving military industries; the latter provided with government aid as only they are exempt from trade agreement regulations on industry receiving special benefits from host governments.
On Thursday, May 23rd 2013, a workshop of experts to evaluate and provide input from United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, as well as a global perspective, on the draft United Nations Declaration Right to Peace took place at the University of Middlesex. Vijay Mehta, Chair of Uniting for Peace along with distinguished delegates including Dr. William Schabas, Professor in the School of Law, Carlos Villán Durán, Spanish Society for International Human Rights Law, Cess Flinterman, Member of Human Rights Committee, David Fernández Puyana, Specialist on International Human Rights Law and Millius Palayiwa, Director of Fellowship of Reconciliation England gave their input in all the sessions of the workshop.

The outstanding efforts of NCUHR in hosting the International Peace and Human Rights Conference is an example of building a world full of peace and justice...Read Vijay Mehta's relection on the conference.

Sunrise Over the Rio Grande
Sunrise Over the Rio Grande - Another day anothre early morning sunrise over the Rio Grande river in Big Bend National Park in far west Texas. It was a calm morning as I capture a bit of color in the sky and it reflected on to the water right before sunrise at the mouth of the Santa Elena Canyon. It is a wonderful place to capture Texas landscapes at sunrise or sunset. Photo © copyright by Bee Creek Photo.

Red wine and fish
The old saying about "red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat" is such consistently useful advice that it's sometimes worth a periodic reminder that it isn't always so.
The basic rule is worth remembering, because you just about can't go wrong by ordering Cabernet Sauvignon with a steak or Chardonnay with lobster. Or Chianti with spaghetti and meatballs and Zinfandel - red, of course - with a juicy burger. These are good things to know, particularly for a nervous wine novice wrestling with a restaurant wine list.
But how about chicken, with its light breast meat and dark thighs? Or pork, "the other white meat"? Most of these dishes will go delightfully with red wine or white, and your choice of sauce or side dishes may weigh more heavily in the balance than the meat itself.
The ultimate in-your-face exception to the rule, though - so much so that it was the title of a purportedly cheeky and daring wine-matching book of the '80s - is "Red wine and fish."
If there's any dish that seems obviously made for white wine, it's seafood and fish: Sole, cod, haddock, scrod, scallops, lobster and crab are all delicate, white-fleshed items that you'd expect would lose their identity against the competition of a dark and hearty red wine.
But take a look at a slab of salmon ... or a bluefish fillet, a chunk of mackerel, a slab of tuna, a sack of mussels. That's not white! Darker, stronger-flavored fish can easily stand up to red wine, particularly if you choose a more delicate, fruity and non-tannic red. In the classic pairing, fresh wild salmon goes so well with Pinot Noir that many wine enthusiasts wouldn't consider a white with this noble fish. Well ... an excellent Oregon Pinot Gris, maybe, but still ...
Tip the scales even further, if you will, by looking up French and Italian recipes for white fish poached or braised in red wine, a preparation that demands a glass of red ... perhaps the same wine used in the recipe.
The moral of today's sermon should be obvious: Know the rules, but don't be afraid to break them. It's OK to drink what you like.
Today's featured wine, an excellent Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara - the California wine region that gave Pinot its 15 minutes (and more) of fame in the movie "Sideways" - made a brilliant match with a juicy, literally "beefy" yellowtail tuna steak.

Au Bon Climat 2002 Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir "Le Bon Climat" ($17.99)
This is a very dark garnet wine, clear but not transparent. The aromas define classic Central Coast Pinot Noir, plums, cherries, an unobtrusive dash of warm spice and a hint of "cherry cola." Big, juicy and ripe, fruit-forward but nicely balanced, with pleasant earthy notes that become more evident as the wine opens up in the glass. It's frankly not as "Burgundian" as some of Au Bon Climat's Pinots, but the brown spices and cola character, which can become overbearing in some of the region's Pinots, are held in proportion here as flavor accents. It's an amiable, pleasurable Pinot. (April 7, 2006)
FOOD MATCH: Makes a great "red wine and fish" match with an excellent yellowfin tuna steaks, crusted with black pepper and black mustard seeds, pan-seared meuniere-style and sushi-rare at the center.
VALUE: Not a cheap wine, but a very fine value in the upper teens.
WHEN TO DRINK: Drinking beautifully now and not really meant for long-term aging, but I wouldn't hesitate to hold it for a year or two on the wine rack or several in a temperature-controlled cellar.
Au Bon Climat is finally online, with an easily navigable Website that offers online ordering and a wine-buying club (in states where the law allows).
Look up prices and locate sources for Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir on Wine-Searcher.com.
