Batsh*t Construction 

God rest him. He was such an innovative and hopeful thinker.

please make a little clearer when these videos were recorded... people might get the mistaken impression that Graeber is still with us today :(

Rest in peace, David. You are sorely missed by more people than you could have imagined.

_"The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make and could just as easily make differently."_ - the late great David Graeber RIP

RIP David Graeber. May your memory be a blessing💐

Well done Ross! This is one of the best you have done. Thanks also to David.

Agreed with other commentators, Renegade. Please start publishing the date that these interviews were recorded in the description- it just takes an extra moment. Thanks.

I can listen to this hundred times a day...

This interview took place in October 2019.

RIP Graeber

Some of these batshit crazy projects have resulted in a magnificent hi-speed rail system which moves millions across China every month. It facilitates social mobility, freedom to seek economic opportunities across the country, indirectly fosters social cohesion when people inter-mingle and visit other parts of the vast nation, and cuts down on carbon emissions per person per km. The benefits go far beyond GDP.

recent developments have shown that should circumstances change your property can become very far from "safe"...

Does anyone think Grabber was knocked off?

And of course the _other_ direction this Keynesian sort of inherently corporatist state capitalism goes, and what I would say is in no small part key to the essence of "fascism" as we think of it, is when it merges with a fervent nationalism and becomes far less benign/impractical, ie military Keynesianism basically. Seemingly as the result of the necessity for scapegoating [insert preferred otherized/marginalized/powerless ethnic/racial group here] inevitable social conflict catalyzed by class tensions that are obscured by the cultural kaleidoscope that "weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living", which then justifies ideologically directed imperial ventures, a manifest destiny of sorts. Allllll essentially just to keep kicking the capitalism can down the road. So cool, definitely not literally insane or anything, we love our thanatos embrace into the "common ruin of the contending classes" don't we folks? Of course, nothing that Lenin/Trotsky hasn't already far more clearly articulated building on that Marx guy. Unclear how much more heightened these absurd contradictions can become at this point, but clearly just reconciling with reality seems to be off the table for the demonic arcon ruling class as they can't seem to possibly imagine themselves as anything other than walking deities that deserve even _more_ , despite having everything already, the divine right of capital.

David Graeber nailed Hilary, the Obama interlude and now the Biden term which is essentially the Hilary admin with a different figurehead.

I can always tell how old a Renegade inc video is by how much hair Ross has 😘

What can we learn from the foresight of successive Norwegian governments? ​Lang Hancock flew over the Pilbara, Western Australia in 1952, identified iron ore sites and took possession, making him and his descendants some of the richest people on the planet. When Phillips Petroleum found oil and gas in the North Sea in the late sixties, they had to acquire licensing rights from the Norwegian government to extract it, making the country the richest in the world.

Low interest rates made this a no brainer for developers. Even 100% financed and 60% occupancy make these buildings cash cows

I want infrastructure.. America has the most pathetic infrastructure, especially internet infrastructure. 🤭🤭🤭🤭😰🙁 What do we get? War! War that profits no one. 😈💀
