 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The WSWS publishes here the text of a lecture delivered by David North in London on November 22 examining the global crisis of capitalism and the Trump administration's drive to dictatorship. Trump's redefinition of "professional" degrees aims to push working-class students out of healthcare and education specialities and further undermine science and culture. Three weeks after the election, Mamdani is moving at a breakneck pace to support the political establishment he vowed to challenge.

Not a day passes without the Starmer government moving forward its preparations for the re-armament and conscription necessary for an extended war with Russia. The ruling class is arming for a global war and preparing to suppress the inevitable resistance of the working class with violence. The militarisation of domestic policy is an integral component of the war preparations. A record revenue rise by chipmaker Nvidia has not quelled the growing fears that the AI boom is a bubble which may soon burst. The diplomatic row triggered by Japanese prime minister Takaichi's provocative remarks on Taiwan on November 7, far from subsiding, has escalated with mounting economic repercussions. The current political crisis, fueled by immense social anger, is the sharpest since the ouster of President Estrada a quarter century ago. Ford hit again by layoffs as a second major fire erupts at critical aluminum plant in New York state The disruption caused by the recent plant fires at Novelis in Oswego County, New York demonstrate the increasingly fragile character of supply chains, vulnerabilities exacerbated by Trump's tariffs.
