    In his book, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, economist John Maynard Keynes warned against the humiliation of Germany at the end of World War I. Keynes argued that if you deal with Germany by humiliating it and draining it of any economic possibilities, keeping it lost underground as it were, there will be instability all across Europe and there will be social uprisings and all the rest of it. So what Keynes was predicting in a way was the sort of social instability that started to become very apparent almost immediately after the Versailles conference in 1923 when Hitler launched his coup attempt in the Munich beer Hall. And it was generally laughed at and said this was kind of a very amateurish operation and that therefore didn't go very far. And Hitler got arrested and was sentenced to jail for five years, but got out after five months. But nobody took this seriously. And this seems to me to be one of the lessons which comes from reading Keynes on The Economic Consequences of the Peace and living through the 20th Century that too many have not actually recognized the significance of this dimension to the conflicts which are going on around us.

    Is there a place where the old Anti Chronicles episodes can be listened to? Apparently, Dr. Harvey and Dr. Wolff had a falling out and Democracy at Work deleted the old episodes.
    I've asked the new Dr. Harvey website about this. They ignore me, probably because I remind them of the problems with Democracy at Work.
    I didn't anticipated all this.

      Sorry it took so long to reply, we just came back from a short winter break. We are aware of this and will do our best to bring them back. Sadly, for the moment we have no quick way of resolving this and are as surprised as you at d@w for having deleted the episodes.

      There appear to be many old episodes on Democracy at Work. That said, perhaps putting them in a playlist for listeners' ease of access would be a boon. Thanks to Dr. Harvey for his long time commitment to an economics of the people and a life of service.

    This is very much in line with an article on Gaza I read a few months ago in "Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik". Basically, it stated how before the escalation Gaza was already an open air prison with few supplies coming in and dire economic prospects for large masses of the population.

    There was no agreement signed in Bucharest regarding NATO expansion

    The last time Israel tangled with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel was defeated. Israel is fine as long as its reserve army stays in its tanks, armored personnel carriers or helicopters, but when it comes to face-to-face combat the Israeli army is not battle hardened. It has a small professional army and a large lightly trained reserve force. Hezbollah is battle hardened with a massive arsenal of rockets. Look at the trouble Israeli forces are having in Gaza against Hamas. It's no cake walk for the Israelis. The best they can do is drop a lot of bombs or lob heavy artillery leading to massive civilian deaths.

    That's a bit of an idealist explanation of recent historical events, but ok. Russia has real and urgent national security concerns about NATO expansion and the building up a giant fascist-led army in Ukraine between 2014 and 2022, and the Palestinians and the people of Lebanon are facing actual military aggression from the IDF on and off for decades that requires armed resistance to slow down and hopefully eventually end permanently, along with the actually existing illegal occupation of Gaza and the West Bank and Apartheid within Israel's treaty borders. But yes, avoiding and resolving historical national humiliations is why we need the emerging multipolarity built around the UN, International Law, and genuine respect for the the national sovereignty of all countries, and the disbanding of NATO and the substantive disarming of the USA to ensure the authority of the UN and that mutual respecting of soveriegnty.

    This is imperialism, as the highest stage of capitalism, and it can never be what you’re saying.
    Somehow it is idealistic thinking and saying, that capitalism learns from history.
    Though it does, but in some other sense.
    A bit disappointing analysis, unfinished, no Marxist analysis of the situation at the end of the video.

    Anti-capitalist or anti-free enterprise?

      There is no such thing as "free enterprise".
