| Editor's Choice IN THIS WEEK'S NEW STATESMAN... In this week's New Statesman, John Pilger returns to Vietnam, finding that the country's last great battle is keeping at bay the forces that pour trillions into corrupt banks and wars while destroying the means of civilised life. Also this week, we feature Rob Brown's report from Ireland, which has gone from Free State to failed state.
Elsewhere, in the politics column, Mehdi Hasan criticises Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, for straying into party politics, while David Blanchflower warns that the banking collapse spreading across Europe might soon be too big a mess for the bail-out fund to clear up.
Also, don't miss David Laws on why the Liberal Democrats rejected Labour, a riposte to Andrew Adonis's review of his book last week, Rachel Cooke on what The Battle for Barking reveals, and Neal Lawson and John Harris on the future of centre-left politics.
