Interview: Nat Dyer - Magic Money
As a campaigner on the front line of exploitation, Nat Dyer has seen the impacts of economic ideology and has turned to explaining its origins. His is the story of one of the great economists, David Ricardo, and how he invented economics’ now standard trick of turning complex political-economic interactions into simple stories with a happy ending-in this case, the benefits of “free trade.”
Once the complexities are restored, it turns out that “free” trade isn’t necessarily free at all, especially for the most vulnerable such as slaves in Brazil. The Mint talked to Nat to learn more about this magic trick's origins and the implications for today as Trump trash-talks free trade.
Nat Dyer is a writer and researcher specialising in global political economy. He is a Fellow of the Schumacher Institute and the Royal Society of Arts. He has worked for Global Witness and for Promoting Economic Pluralism and his stories have been reported on by the BBC, the New York Times and Bloomberg.

Mirjam Muller is a feminist philosopher based in Berlin with a very practical bent: the ethics of sweatshops where most of the clothes we wear are made by women in the Global South.

According to the Wikipedia article, Belarus-Poland border barrier, Poland constructed for under an equivalent of $500 million US dollars a 187 km combination 5.5 meter high steel wall and an electronic barrier of cameras and motion sensors. There is also the recurring costs of the border guards.
The elephant in the room is the idea/concept of Dysfunction (ie bad purpose). Until/Unless we see it as the central issue/saboteur everywhere from the world politics to broken families different levels of chaos will continue to sabotage good efforts be it Command and Control (initial) or The Vanguard Method (advanced).

Maybe, capitalist materialism always had a shelf-life... Oh well, on to humanity's next act!
Smaje's book "A small farm future" is well worth reading as an unusually well balanced view of the whole food supply system. He is a sound economist as well as a farmer and sociologist. It seems to me that the most sensible economists in our universities now are labelled 'Anthropology' or 'sociology' rather than 'Economics'.
Will you interview Ndongo Samba Sylla?
would very much like to if I can contact him.

Thanks to you both for this discussion.
Beginning of democracy only men voted, now most voters are women. Hence men are having the children and office jobs stolen, and overpopulation talk is banned. We must be politically correct, promote women and human rights, zero talk about overpopulation, technology and wishful thinking will save us.
Appreciate the video Henry, and thank you for lifting the voice of people like Lebohang Liepollo Pheko. I'll try to at least remember the three concepts of historical responsibility, the story of how we got here, secondly of how trying to fit everything under a single umbrella term is quite corporate, and that she wishes the degrowth movement opens their perspective more towards the majority world and thinks of environmental issues in a more communitarian way.

Stephanie Kelton's demo of the closed circuit of an imposed monetary value in notes, eliminating the theory of value creation by setting the standard, which is how Math-Physics operates by analysis of the pulsed-events of Actuality Conception.., as anyone can see for themselves. The difficulty of thinking for someone else's personal value of goods and services is why markets are unstable and uncertain, only partially controlled by regular economic conditions. This is the problem for Theorists.
This is literally one of the dumbest things ive ever seen. Jeremy Williams is a certified idiot.
Encouraging discussion but 'WE' aren't waking up and 'WE' aren't cooperating. Nowhere near. We're MUCH more likely to go to war on a planetary scale in response to the threats humanity has created to our own existence than change the way we behave together. And what's in our way is the fact that 'WE' are governed by non dom tax dodging billionaire owned governments denying we're in crisis. Tne only way cooperation will spring up - it will NOT be spontaneous - is when there's a popular no brainer vehicle that can drive radical cooperative CHANGE from the grass roots UP to overthrow the paradigm by presenting an authentic, evidence led, measured, monitored, open and transparent New Normal that generates progressive self perpetuating rapid change from the core of its foundations. THAT cannot happen, and WILL NOT happen, without governance that's fit for 21st century purpose. No contemporary governance is adequate to the task that's in front of humanity. IF it were - we would be seeing collaborative implementation and uptake of rapid human behaviour change everywhere - Without redesigning the way all humanity interacts with the planet by turning corporate governance on its head. We are doomed to stand and stare at planetary systems disintegrating everywhere in front of us.
This video has answered many questions I have had.
Thank you for sharing this video.😊
So good to hear the enlightened critical view of Clive Spash
Wong is a rabid anti-capitalist who wants to defund the police and have state monitored 'equality of outcomes'. Good news is, when the dems get their ass handed to them in the next election, all these crony communists will be gone.
Can’t tackle climate change without curtailing the biggest polluter: US military
Excellent analysis by Ann Pettifor. The only Ive seen by a true economic scientist on current matters. She should be on mainstream media right now, esp in UK, because there are too many who are simply financiers or 'economists' rooted in neoliberal economic ideas, who just push their versions of past failed solutions.
WORST LECTURER AND PERSON EVER!!! I attended modules taught by Alena and found her as a person alongside her teaching appaling. Firstly, Alena is a total control-obssessed person that feels the urge to dominate students. For instance, students who were late for her tutorials or lectures were publicly humiliated by being asked to sing, to sit in a corner, to jump around, to sit on tables. Secondly, Alena's assessment is immoral as she make lists with each student's topic, hence she knows when marking assignments who wrote what. This is highly immoral and breaks many academic ethical principles. Thirdly, Alena is incredibly condescending towards students and highly arrogant as a person. I honestly believe that she genuinely takes great pleasure in dominating and publicly humiliating students. Probably she does this to ensure that she dominates students and that no one challenges her in any way. This creates a top-down fear-based environment where learning is hindered and she full manifests her total autocracy. I have studied at several UK universities before UCL and I couldn't believe that such a person is allowed to operate at such a prestigious UK insitution such as UCL. Alena doesn't understand basic student-teacher dynamics such as the fact THAT WE PAY HER SALARY. Alena should remember that she is not living in communist Russia where autocracy and fear dictate everything and that in capitalistic England, who has the money dictates the terms. Therefore, since we (students) pay her salary, she should be incredibly humble and recognise that if it wasn't for us she wouldn't have a job. I honestly believe that she is, without a shadow of doubt, the worst lecturer I had in my academic and that UCL should FIRE her as soon as possible to preserve any academic ethics and respect for students.
Just about London Underground controlled global trust fund…u CANNNOT talk about

Wonderful idea 💡
I don't agree with Steve on the religious fundamentalist zealotry angle at the current times which would have been true in the 70s-mid 2000s. In the current era in America, the fundamentalist are not as engaged and are not even represented anywhere in the political realm. The only religious organizations that tend to get that kind of representation tend to be large churches that have large organizational network that are far more liberalized and deviate from fundamentalism as a function to get large contributions from large congregations. Typically the established and highly financed churches tend to attract politicians from their local districts as well as even candidates in presidential elections. The so called moral protestations of politicians representing those groups is signaling and managing identity politics as corporate branding. Not to mention that social media is just an amplifier to create a corporatized version of morality, identity and personality to develop strong following which can get a person paid really well(this dynamic also works for the left learning crowds getting their own brand). To put it simply, most people in America that are getting in these high powered positions whether religious fundamentalist or very left leaning do not even interface of with people organically and it places you at risk of humiliation (and sometimes threats) if your opinion deviates slightly from them.
Steve has it right. We have Trump on video, violently getting photo of himself holding up a bible in front of a Christian church. Even Alex Jones, knows to mark his targets while singing along with Jesus-lingo.
So sorry your political career did not get a foothold, Steve.

Intriguing interview; however not widely disseminated - with 96 views to date. "If only" springs to mind with regard to the 'expense' of the NHS and Care. At this stage of your career the dissemination of your knowledge surely needs more than the 'normative.'approach if it is ever to be adopted in time. you will You might say no other approach works and yet, if Boris can achieve BREXIT he is surely the key. 🙏
Great presentation-learned a lot.
How many different schools of thought are there?
What countries today implement LVT?
The examples I know of are Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Denmark, and Pensylvannia in the US
The best way of levelling up is to devolve power away from Westminster and thus to the regions/councils of the rest of the UK and enable those respective regions/councils to raise there own taxation without any caps from Westminster!

The correct, philosophically real, definition of money is the key to understanding the reason why growth is a sacrament of our economic system. Real money represents work done, and it is limited by the laws of thermodynamics - which as a result limit our economics. The money we USE represents debt-with-interest. It is limited by our gullibility. As a planet we are more than 260 Trillion in debt (depends who measures). Applying the first law to economics and money we can translate "Energy cannot create more Energy" to "Money cannot create more Money". When extended to the way money interacts with the world we see that it can be restated as "Ownership cannot make money". In any form, rent-seeking is an attempt to break laws that cannot ever be broken; we break something else, somewhere else and usually belonging to someone else instead. It turns out that to the extent that we remove growth the ownership based income becomes theft and transfer of wealth from the working class to the owning class - including from future generations. Growth is, as a result, necessary for a system based on this wrong definition of money, to remain stable. The definition of ownership itself, as having self-propagating benefits - also fails. You do not own the solar energy that falls on your roof. Humans evolved to cooperate and our societies compete in evolutionary terms, as groups. We share within those groups, and so we see that the Bible, the Koran and the Tanakh all inveigh against interest and rent-seeking behavior within those groups. The laws of physics are less restrictive and more comprehensive, but reach that same result. The wrong definitions are thousands of years old. The problems they cause are NOT solvable without fixing the definitions - yet applying the definitions, despite their simplicity, is immensely complex. No more taxes except for an ownership income tax. A UBI is a REQUIRED part of the system of putting money into circulation - *and the sharemarket is not*. The immense power of the wealthy over our governments is a function of the immense wealth that has become concentrated in our pursuit of the delusional capitalism that Adam Smith created on the foundations of these incorrect definitions. I'll have to try to get this book, but to correct the problem needs new definitions, it needs re-thinking of the profit motive itself. It needs us to FIX our obsession with scarcity based pricing and the way supply and demand are currently used to create that "invisible-hand" that, in combination with COVID and intellectual property laws, is committing genocide on the Indian subcontinent today.
