    Michael Hudson is Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City and President of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends. He researches domestic and international finance, the history of economics, and the role of debt in shaping class stratification, among many other topics. Michael was also a guest on episode 180, where he and Robinson discussed neoliberalism, industrial capitalism, and the rentier economy. In this episode we continue the discussion, focusing on his book Killing the Host (ISLET, 2015). More particularly, they discuss the rhythm of debt and economic crashes, the role of history in the study of economics, the history of debt cancellation, Marxism, economic parasites, and how to heal ailing economies. Michael’s most recent book is The Collapse of Antiquity (ISLET, 2023).

    Thank you, Robinson, for having Professor Michael Hudson again.
    He speaks with great intelligence about why our economy is coming apart.
    "The Art of War" & other Eastern Classics of Eastern Classics of Eastern Philosophy. Professor Michael Hudson definitely understands philosophy and religious divisions throughout the centuries with economics. What a gift he is!!! He is 💯 correct on each dissection of banking, wars, countries and who is running the show.
    Remember what happened to Hypatheis? She was the first woman astronomer and a mathematician, inventer, and she was pagan. The Christains tore her flesh off of her.
    One more question if I may.
    Why are the Zionist Jews meeting in their synagogues today and buying real estate in Gaza? Zionism is an Ideology. It does not mean one is antisemitic. Apec controls both sides of our American politics. Facism and racism are words of ignorance.
    The dull minds of President Ronald Reagon Reagon and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, austerity and privatization again and Milton Friedman's trickle down economics. The money went to the top elites, it never trickled down.
    Thank you both.

      His thinking is not healthy. He’s cherry picking ancient transactions to support his love of communism and upholding communist China as the most successful economy in the world (it’s currently imploding) while forgetting how destructive communism was over the past 100 years world-wide.
      He thinks communist ➡️central control of the economy is ideal,
      …yet calls having a “king” /president or ➡️central authority as right-wing and facist. Lololol.
      And THEN he stated libertarianism is “right wing” and therefore facist. (Libertarianism is market driven without a central authority). 🙄

    41:00 You mean the prayer actually is "Forgive our debts as we forgive our debt against others" and they changed it trespass only to make light of the significance of forgiving someone's debt.
    I'm a Muslim and it makes me sick that someone could play with religious text like that.
    And Karl Marx Vol 3 is the only place where you can find the Martin Luther King sermon on forgiving debt.
    Mr Hudson is a man of God opening the eyes of many to the sickness of usury.

      Usury works for those who have a lot to use.
      The Concept of Capital is only around 6,000 years old but Humans did exist for thousands of years without the concept.
      Forgive me if I play with words......
      The US Currency is now a Fiat Currency that counts on sales of Treasury Notes,
      to insure some value to the Federal Reserve Notes printed.
      As the Moslem Nations react to The ruthless expansion of the Israel State,
      the buyers for the US Treasury Notes that support the Federal Reserve Currency decrease.
      The apparent effects of Usury to overcome the debts created by Compound Interest,
      seem to have been among the thoughts of early Moslem thinking?
      Now the effects of Capitalist use of Usury to embellish profits through creating debt,
      indicates the understanding of ancient Moslem Dudes was correct.
      The US Creation of debt that now stands to erode the Citizens ability to afford a home,
      is exceeding the limitations of Business to provide Pay to the average Citizens of the USA,
      to actually live indoors.
      The Food issue is another feature that grows beyond Human access.
      I agree that Moslem Thinkers did have the understanding of Human behavior clearly defined.
      The issue is not simply the Roman Anglo creation of Adam Smith Theology,
      but the concept of Capital as a measure of Value,
      now faces the test of Human acceptance.
      The issue is beyond Theological discussion ,
      it appears to be now a question of Human survival.

    Love Michael Hudson and listen to a lot and admire his work .One thing he doesn't talk about much is the fact that they still do write off debts when it suits the ruling class. Particularly whenever a giant company goes bankrupt and leave massive debts they write off or write down the debts to it's creditors.

      @grb1969 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Public/Private Partnerships are effectively subsidizing Corporate profits rather than allowing for the bankruptcy of 80% of the S&P500, which are only viable through debt restructuring/refinancing. This evolved over the past 50 years of Neoliberal Austerity as the Public funding of Privatized wealth hoarding.
      The Oligarchy understands that financialized debt-slavery has caused the collapse of Western Civilization, yet they have no idea how to mitigate the devastation and probable species extinction, so they’ve gone ‘full-nihilist’ and proselytize the virtues of techno-feudalism and the Cult of technocracy as a means of Salvation, which is the foundation for Mass Formation Psychosis. The result will be a deepening of our Anti-Social Civil, Economic and Social Orders towards Universal Psychopathy and the destruction of the Ecology for other evolving species that might not have caused their own extinction had humans not destroyed the Planet.
      Blind-spot indeed.

      The Government now has 2X the Consumer Debt.
      US Treasury Debt is at $34.4 and growing fast.
      Consumer Debt is above $17 trillion and now appears to be straining Banks limitations....
      The Government needs any form of income they can produce,
      taxation is among the tools to relieve the Debts.
      The Folks who benefit from reduced taxation,
      appear to have the funds to purchase a few Leadership positions,
      for their good and faithful Servants.
      The ability to forgive Student Debt seems to be something they avoid discussing.
      The Capital Gains Tax increases seems equally Verbotten.
      Property Tax seems to have been limited so their extra Homes of Oligarchs, do not become more of a Burden.
      The suggestion of a sales tax on Stock Exchange transactions seemed to be shot down quickly.
      We do need to face the fact that an Oligarchy is in charge of the US Government,
      and is in position to control Policy decisions in the same fashion as the Monarchy,
      that the USA Founding Documents indicate are harmful to human development,
      and now are the establish form of government the US has in place.......

    In other words, no regulation for the wealthy and their corporations and heavy regulation for everyone else, even in our bedroom and even for use of our own bodies!
    Debt is good for the lender and for the wealthy who already can afford to borrow with interest, but it's bad for everyone else who have no control of the economy, wages or the rate of interest charged.
    Oligarchy is benign for oligarchs who can purchase politicians who will protect their wealth. It's pernicious for everyone else who cannot regulate oligarchs or politicians without risking life and security.
    Debt is killing us because we can't earn enough to keep up with the cost of living.
    Let's do something about all of this. Get off the sofa, put your social media away. Turnn off the television. Join a political organization that represents you and pressure the politicians from within and without to regulate the system, to represent us, not the wealthy. Then fight for a better system but never forget democracy as you work for a better way to live. There is a better system but it requires vigilence to maintain!

    Greetings Respected Gentlemen . Debt cancellation is very much part of Indian Agricultural economy . Some Arab principalities also cancel non agricultural debts of its citizens during festivals. Agriculture is still the riskiest business due to a host of problems causing crop loss. This is totally different from deliberately indebting nations beyond their paying capacity leading to enslavement. Money chaging tricks played upon ignorant hapless populations and gamble away the future of nations. This is not Economics but theft and the Federal Reserve is the Fountain head of this criminal enterprise.

      The observation of the Investors like the Rockefeller Bros in Electoral Industry affairs created a point of conflict in the ability to provide representative government that actually represented the average American Citizen in 1968.
      My observations since that period appear to have indicated an increase in the ability of Money to purchase the service of Political Prostitutes,
      has multiplied around 100 times.
      How do the average Citizen get representative government that serves their needs?

      The trend is to create more debt to support the concept of prosperity......
      The indefinite continuation of the policy faces the challenges that all Colonial Empires faced.
      The US Economy has run into a BRICS Wall that ended the ability to enable Colonial Exploitation,
      to serve the needs of a lifestyle built on exploitation.
      Vietnam was a classic demonstration of colonial exploitation that failed.
      Iran was the second major indicator that US Colonial exploitation that began in 1776,
      and was magnified in 1898 with the purchase of the Spanish Empire.
      The USA became the wealthy Nation due to exploiting others.
      Since the BRICS Trade Group organized the Trade Union,
      from former US Colonies,
      inflation has gone up.
      The US is exploiting European Consumers to maintain a positive GDP.

    18:52 can you synthetically make "the palace" the creditor to all debts if, for example, "the palace" maintains a "central bank" (yes, able to transact in the "free market") that will (during a jubilee) effect extraordinary measures (eg, becoming the "lender of last resort", brokering "private" recapitalization deals, etc)?
    Isn't it a similar effect to occasionally step in ("extraordinary measures") for the psychological purpose of getting creditors and debtors to behave as if "the palace" is in fact the ultimate creditor?
    (In a system of forced taxation and deficit spending, "the palace" basically socialises the bad debt writedowns across creditors and the economy at large)

    I can see startup going into debt to implement ideas in a timely manner, but even in that example there’s probably ways around it.

    How would we approach growth without the ability to borrow?
    Would growth be slower? And would that be such a bad thing?

    There are some problems in modern societies with debt cancellation. Let's talk about the other side of the equation. Most of the debt is private debt therefore canceling debts will wipe out crucially important economic entities, the banks and their depositors because banks invest their depositors' money. So all debt needs to be nationalized first. This is pretty much what happened in 2008 by the way, the financial system was bailed out. Did it work? Since than we had zero interest rates, quantitative easing, asset prices skyrocketing and finally consumer price inflation going through the roof and in the next step we are going to have a sovereign debt and currency crisis.
