Noam Chomsky for Age of Economics - Full interview 

I have to watch everything by Chomsky multiple times. He’s quick and he gives you so much information to process.

A great interview with my intellectual hero for 40 years. Noam always shows what practical steps we can take to bring about a better world.

At the time, this great man was 94 years of age. 94!!! His recollection of dates, times, history, economics amongst many other topics is incredible. He would put men a quarter of his age to shame. IMO he is a living prodigy. All policy makers should be listening and shaping his ideas into reality. What a better world it would be.

What a teacher Chomsky has been to me, for me, for so long now; I am eternally grateful, so very grateful. The journey has been priceless.

Wisdom is not a word I take lightly. As if this man hadn't been a luminary of human cognition all along, with old age he gives us these words, distilled jewels to venerate on an altar. I hope we listen.

Ty for this interview of this wonderful man 🙏

If we could download one man's consciousness so that it would forever be with us to consult, Noam Chomsky would be my choice.

I always learn so much when I listen to Chomsky. The man is a university.👍

Noam Chomsky dislikes being pedestaled I imagine, despite the fierce veracity of what he speaks, about the 19th century through 21st century United States enslavement of workers, the embargoes US have been imposing on the gulf and those of the countries whose people are undergoing immense economic hardship. Chomsky also has the passion to be challenged and questioned whilst he strongly urges against different forms of capitalism that have proven as nefarious as amounting to disempowerment of labourers and their unionisation. Noam has a plenty more intellectual honesty and kindness to offer to the spheres of humanitarian education, as he is forthright in his appeals for the underdogs and underprivileged. May his students follow in his footsteps and continue to question the authorities of neoliberalism, their imperialistic structures.

So sharp still. Thanks for everything Noam!

Thank you.x

It's no accident that political economy is difficult to understand. It keeps us Plebs in our place. 😵‍💫

Thx for this interview!!

I definitely agree with the idea of CAREFUL implementation of any change on large scale. This is in a stark contrast with CARELESS or RADICAL change implementation ideas. I would add also the consideration of time scale. Observe the implemented change on a small scale in different time scales (over few generations, at least) before you announce you have something to offer to the public. Importantly, always start the experimentation on yourself.

I hope he's doing well. It would be interesting to hear his take on some of the current US domestic issues.

"The role of the private sector is solely self-enrichment, that's ideology, not stupidity". Interesting indeed

It amazes me greatly how I go from living an average lifestyle to making over 63k per month I've learned a lot over the past few years that there are plenty of opportunities in the financial markets; all it takes is just to focus on the right thing. Credits to Zach Micah Demers

Why do you present this(with no date for this interview) as if it was just done recently? This is almost 4 years old. The most important part of anything that is downloaded onto the internet(other than the actual content) is the date of the event, interview, report, etc. Why would you, as someone who cares enough to download something they must believe will be informative and of value, not see the value in identifying when this interview took place? This simple standard of properly dating something really should be understood by everyone by now so it's quite maddening to see that it is not. Even in journalistic circles.

We will be researching, and learning from the sagacious teachings, and words of Noam Chomsky for a long time to come ❤️🤓👍.

Greatful for Chomsky interviews / lectures.

The titles and words that comes between the topics are too small. Please make them bigger.

Wow Noam Chomsky thanks for making this available! When was this recorded?

❤❤❤❤

I wish the volume were higher bc it's very difficult to hear what Noam is saying.

In fact, there is no strictly economic or market mechanism whereby wages (the price of the right to use labor-power for a time) co-vary with the value productivity of *labor*. The whole *point* of the capitalist purchase and use of people's labor-power for a time to extract and appropriate labor with which to produce commodities for sale at a profit is to NOT pay pari passu more for the use of labor-power to appropriate more actual value-producing labor.

You should invite on Jonathan Nitzan and/or Shimshon Bichler. They are radical political economists with interesting ideas on economics and capitalism

as always , my guru. I highly recommend to you all to find his recent Q and A with the university of Arizona it’s on youtube already. It’s difficult to hear what he has to say. But I know he’s right . I’m willing to work with anyone out there who wants to try and save us from ourselves …….

If you just look at fuel consumption of the pentagon is that government working for environment?

Very enlightening video, There’s this woman I got in touch with during the 2020 lockdown which cost me my job. Ms. Norman Davis helped me manage my assets by introducing my to the best trading platform and strategies, I earned a lot of $$$ working with Norman at the comfort of my home. I still keep in touch with the amazing lady

Joseph Schumpeter, the great Austrian economist was an important and influential proponent and developer of the then emerging branch of economics called Economic History. He contrasted Socialism Capitalism and Democracy in his book from the mid 30s with that title. He contrasted the two economic systems and wrote that pure capitalism was the superior driver of growth. He posited that the undoing of capitalism would be the greed and self serving of the entrepreneurs who drive the capitalist economy. Socialism, on the other hand, is much more responsive to the social and physical needs of the people yet is weaker as an economic driver. The solution he proposed was based on the Hegelian Dialect which is; Thesis versus Antithesis yields a Synthesis. In other words, a blending of the two systems in a new Social Democracy will emerge from a combination of regulated capitalism and socialism that will be a society that provide economic security and prosperity along with a safety net for all of society, sometime in a future democracy. If you can imagine it, some day it might happen.

One other aspect of capitalism is growth. Capital is only capital when it is reinvested to create further growth of capital. Without growth it dies. Achievement of capitalist growth relies on exploitation of workers and the environment.

Noam identifies as a Libertarian socialist, however in this video he loves government when criticizing Milton Friedman. In past interviews I’ve heard him talk about the evils of our foreign policy and then in the same interview he talks about how the United States offered so much opportunity and freedoms. The man speaks with a slippery tongue. Also, I wonder if he will leave his capitalist mega wealth to the poor workers of America or to his children?

Timeless Wisdom from Noam Chomsky- may we listen , analyze , learn , act for the common good 🦅 ☮️ (edit: Thank You Noam , Sir ! )

Everything I don't like is Capitalism! But everything I like is touched by the gentle hand of the State 😇!

When you look at earth. Even with mont everest the earth is smoother than any bowl we are able to craft. We are kinda get what we try to hide.

What's that intro music ?

Milton Friedman = monster

Thumbnail of Chomsky: "Change da World; My Final message" Meme when?

So WONDERFUL to see this guy looking so ancient. Soon he'll be gone and forgotten

If everyone in the world gave 1 second off their life span to add to chomskys, hed live forever.

Sharing will save the world.

It’s so hard to hear what he’s saying

Social engineering or economic engineering is responsible for what free markets or unregulated capitalism which is more accurate corporate investor rights for large companies this is what the neoliberal period brought abought, I was lucky that I had skills as a physicist and applied mathematician and worked for defense contractors and before that as a medical chemist and laboratory pathologist would of stayed at University of SUNY but there was no more research being done on theoretical theory of the unified field theory computer models are useless in these fields.

Please post the date of an interview like this in future. I was ten mins in when I realised I had heard it before, so you could waste my time for your own clicks. Annoying .

"He had the problem most intellectuals have, that of being completely ineffectual"

What does this reader know about building and running a useful business? “The greater good”

Common good. World is self- entertining. We all die and he still be spinning.

I remember him saying something about voting for Biden to keep us out of nuclear war. Oh, something about medical stuff.

SPIVOCRACY 👎 CHOMSKY 👍 (from Green Fire, UK) 🌈🦉😉

I RESPECT ✊🏾 CHOMSKY!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😌😌😌😌🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔒💯🇰🇳🇵🇷🇺🇸

The Socrates of our time, ostracized by the media of the profiteers, should be on every channel, every school, every forum to educate all on how to create, maintain and spread a happy, DEMOCRATIC society representing the real interests of all the people, including that of the profiteers.

Oh btw he’s admitted he had no friends in HS!! Surprising?? Of course not !! Telling!!

I don't always agree with NC on all issues. But here he once again shows himself to be a guiding light on matters related to economic organization and economic and social justice. Unfortunately, he's still indispensable.

Noam fails the 1st question. Guess why we're fucked.

there should be a warning to play him at or above 1.5×speed, to avoid drowsiness. it adds a nice sense of urgency and makes him sound younger. OLO , no joke.

The east of Europe was after the war on socialist system for more then 40 years and didn't work as well ,no neoliberal economy. The capitalism system is just from the middle of 90s which has been made some good improvement in the social and infrastructure life. It is not perfect, but what's the alternative? Make everything belong to the states?

The job of economists should be to help society maximize material welfare/standard of living (maximum outputs with minimum inputs). In reality, the vast majority of them think their job is to redistribute income from the high earners/highly productive to the low earners/low productive.

Normal ar fi sa spuna Chomsky ceva aici pe RU-vid. Asta este "tare." Mai "slab" este sa se cam stie cine modereaza. Altminteri e clar tocana de melci. Clar.

So, this mathematician, declared "linguist and philosopher" by the Soviets and Arafats is an economist too? Sure. he is.

Stenographers for Power=Brown-No$ers

Why didn't this genleman get the nobel prize?!!! He's devoted his life to justice and outright pointing and you pretend he doesn't exist. Give him a lifetime achievement award, specifically for the contribution of media grammar !! and the founder of this specification to the field !!

Utterly vacuous.

His superfans and Chomsky himself have never run a business nor do they know what it takes. It is so easy to sit here and talk and use all these big terms and descriptions.

Man, how scared of actual work must you be to think work is akin to slavery. You get to have a wage, stop whining and do something with your life!

You should ask him why he is so adamant about denying the genocide of non Serbs during the Yugoslav war

still babbling his socialist communist rhetoric.

who cares? so boring.

Mumbles Chomsky was so difficult to understand that I wanted to throw my iPad out the window. Horrible presentation, it’s annoying.
