The first question was a lecturer in its self. Amazing how people can attend talks and see it as a platform to make speeches followed by a mundane routine question. Thank the speaker for their talk and ask your question. It’s not a stage for people to deliver long irrelevant preambles to a routine question. The follow up question was also based on waffling on before getting to the point of the question. Poor Chalmers - he is a very patient person
I think Boehm has his points. The thing is, that 07.10.2023 is not acceptable. The consequences are Israel invading the Gaza Strip. What ist the future? As Palestianians only believe in Hamas and Iran we need a state of Israel in which Palestinians and Jewish/ Israel people live in ONE state. There is no 2 states solution, because poeple have their soil and their homes (inside Israel). Who wants to move, and who can move? Netanjahu should move in thinking. And all Israelis should. What is Gaza strip? What is a Palestinan state? The West Bank?
Lectio Magistralis. I have just bought the Audiobook and can't wait to start listening. Dr. Mattei explanation is brilliant, it is such a pity she is almost unknown to the Italian public
Right on in many respects. Also shows serious blindspots in terms of long term population size, and misstates Half Earth which is not about totally removing people, but rather removing industrial harmful extraction practices on enormous scale which exploit the poorest of the poor as "beastly" labor. That vile exploitation of people and vast natural habitats which is ever growing under current global systems.
I wonder what Boehm has to say now that Israel has shown itself ready to decimate the structures of Gaza and both murder and starve the inhabitants? Is the possibility of peace dead in the region? Is Israel’s standing in the international community fatally wounded?
That's pretty vanilla, a discussion of Africa without Africans. You wouldn't have to look far to find African PhDs to join your conversation. This is laughable.
So far I have enjoyed her book very much. The austrian school doesn't acknowledge any history running contrary to their maxims. She shed a light on events and attitudes that are not mentioned much at all. It appears that bullsh*t trickle down economics goes much further back than I realized. Austerity is an easy sell to an ignorant public that believe money to be real and static. Working within their reality they relate to the confines of a budget. The ephemeral fugazee printed up to bail out banks is talking extra dimensional physics to farm animals. The charade is intentionally obscured. Capitalism for thee and socialism for me is never discussed on MSM.
Why is there no CCP logo anywhere in sight? If you are pedalling propaganda (albeit assisted by some useful western idiots) why be ashamed of your main 'brand'? For what it's worth I just hope the Africans wake up and realise who/what they've got themselves into bed with.
Under capital order, fiscal and monetary "mistakes" are, in fact, intentional class warfare through the imposition of austerity policies. Neoclassical economic policy continues to pave the way for fascism. The financialization of the economy implemented by the FIRE sector prioritizes rent-seeking to the detriment of the real economy, normalizing technofeudalism.
Listening to her argument there is nothing different that people already heard in the news. That is the problem of social scientists they reduce knowledge. Even your thesis is not strong enough for a real thought. Again, the constant use of the word "austerity" and the word "allow" in your speech shows limitations on philosophical thought. Don't waste your money on this book. Just read a book by any historian and the economic news. That's it.
What is missing in Professor Matei's brilliant scholarly work is the influence of Disruptive Technologies on when the Captial Order will implement austerity and to what degree, in some instances (i.e. recession or depression); and the influence that an overheated or underperforming economy caused by the speeding up or slowing down of sales has on the adjustments to interest rates. It may have been premature to mention those in her "The Capital Order" book, but they are a "must include" in her next book on Keynesian Economics. Here is a short essay on what I've mentioned here. gusmore-op-eds.blogspot.com/2023/08/the-capital-order-misses-imperative-set.html
Can we define first what the hell we mean by "democracy" ? I think he means western style rep democracy, but that's not "the will of the ppl" or whatever, it never was.
Just the sum of your particular natural condition plus your particular position in society (and history and so on) plus what you do with it while you are still alive.
Understand this, since 2008 the Fed flooded America with dollars trying to get inflation. Yet because the rich were taking too much of the economy during those times the FED could never hit the 2% goal for inflation. Covid for the first time since the insertion of supply side economics had the Government giving money to the people who needed more money, instead of giving it to the rich through tax cuts. That money given to the people who needed showed right back up in the economy, which started a higher cycle of inflation. Most of that caused by supply chain problems. Also for the first time since the 80's labor had power, contributing to the inflation. To counter that the FED started raising rates. Posing this question, why is it OK for the RICH to take too much of the economy to the point of monopolization. But it not OK for labor on the bottom to have enough power to advance in Society? These practices of our Government and the FED mathematically prove a RIGGED and Corrupt Capitalism that Supple Side Economics ushered in. In the 80's it was the expansion of personal credit and not unfunded tax cuts for the rich that moved the economy. By it's very nature the expansion of credit gives the rich your future money today. The tax cuts just gave the rich the win fall they would need to move the country to an Oligarchy. The Republicans once believed they had to control the Government (hold 2 branches or more) to serve the rich. Once the system describe was put in place all Republicans needed to do was break good government. The rich could do the rest with their win fall. The system now makes more people disenfranchised, but instead of blaming the rich they blame government. That in turn has the rich using Culture wars to keep people blind to what cause their real demise. Clearing the path for a Fascist leader that just has to BLAME OTHERS OF WHAT HE IS GUILTY OF DOING. Sadly that is where America is today.
