As a young Catholic boy in the '50's, I was taught the original version of the Lord's Prayer that read, "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." I never understood the import of the difference until now. Thank you.

Jesus was practically the worlds first socialist and capitalism is not compatible in any way shape nor form, with the teachings of Christianity meaning the majority of westerners who consider themselves some form of Christian while also thinking capitalism is ok, are actually heretics to their faith. Moses warned about worshipping the golden calf, I believe there is one bolted to the floor of wall street right now. Still, despite the failures of the church, there are at times the odd pope that recognises such and tries to make some small difference: "There is blood in these lands, and they are bleeding.

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!!!

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.
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.

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.

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.

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!
The reference to debt cancellation still exists in the greek orthodox version of the prayer btw. I hadn't realized it until I watched this video that it refered to debt and debtors.
The fact that the rhythms of agriculture shapes our economy should not be as novel as it is presented. It's because so many are so divorced from farming and where our food and fiber comes from. Anyone who pays attention to agriculture knows intrinsically about this debt cycle.
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.
I heard about an Indian religious holiday, something about the books, meaning the old book is closed, debts are written off, and a new book is openened. Is this just a symbolic remnant from antiquity, or is it a real practice today? If it is the latter, it would be marvelous, but I doubt it. Genuine question.

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.......
Michael Hudson's knowledge of history and the reality of our economy's organization and operation is invaluable to the citizenry's perspective on our Main St. economy now. How does the Fed/Wall St. unlimited bailout system undermine the necessary cancellation of debt? Is it true that the Dems cancellation of the Student Debt is actually going to bailout the Crditors?
history is one thing but hudson also gave you a hint. read marx. what ppl seem to dont understand is that marx put the whole math down showing that capitalism is just a economic system for certain circumstances and has huge problems.
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 increase in the Electoral Industry offering good return on investment, seems to be one of the growing costs that US Citizens now are forced to deal with? How can the average American get representative government? Handing the debt to the Consumers to insure the GDP remains positive, was the work of Bernanke and Paulson in 2008. Now the Consumer Debt has risen by $5 trillion since then. 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. That Policy does not seem to demonstrate good long term prospects. Who will remain solvent as the US Treasury goes Tits Up? Who is left to forgive the debts?
@@danielhutchinson6604 BRICS may not be the power we are all supposed to be afraid of. Our leadership is destroying America and the EU just fine as it is. Just as the political system is screaming at New Yorkers to 'GET OUT NOW'. As the aftermath of the 1/6 event communicates, a political intervention, not an 'Insurrection', the Washington DC Establishment, represented at the Capitol, are making political power exercised by the People impossible, making seeking redress from political representation illegal. It's the Establishment screaming get out of the USA now!. 'We the People' and our existential system, the economy, are being looted as if we were Argintina, and the rest of the 2nd and 3rd world, etc. Every town, city, county, and state in the US are every bit looted as if each of the 50 states were a colony, via the Wall St. central, command, control, bond market and other devices, as if the Dodd- Frank Act, which no one can explain, were never written. Labor has been destroyed to make way for Slave Labor, small businesses are destroyed by a PsyOp. Real Estate is being destroyed, organized under the dicktats of a corporatist takeover. It's not a series of inexplicable hostile acts, it's organized War on the people in our US Constitutional Republic.The case for the reorganization of this Fed/Wall St. unlimited bailout system is obvious, they owe us money, yet it's not proposed to the public. The Redevelopment of North America, the national security, the people's survival, orders the reorganization of the US Banking and Finance system.
@@danielhutchinson6604BRICS is not a new system. Those in charge of it have no intention to forgive debt. They are out for themselves and will be just as predatory as the existing system.
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)
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much
The rule of 78 (72?) is the sum of the digits method of scheduling interest payments. The rule of 70 calculates the doubling time of an interest rate by dividing 100 times the natural log of 2 by that rate. 100 times the natural log of 2 is 69.3147. . . rounded to 70. An interest rate of 10% has a doubling time of 7 years.
Hudson mentions Capital Vol.3 in passing at 47:00 but he avoids the issue. Hudson’s program of debt cancellation by a reformist leadership is possible without a revolution. Notice the Hudson never mentions the working class. If there is a “class struggle” it is between the “rentier/financier class” and “productive capitalist class”. I have seen a few interviews with Hudson and he name drops Marx like all academic Marxists do. The interesting details gives are ultimately useless because he is not clear on his position of capitalism. His assertion at 34:36 that debt cancellation “is socialism” shows he is not a Marxist.
the potential impact of Marxism and debt cancellations on investments, diversification seems more crucial than ever. But how do we safeguard our portfolios against such drastic economic shifts?
Very easy instead of keeping your paper currency whatever Dollars euro Japanese yen in the Bank on low interest rate. Buy phisical Gold and Silver bullion and coins. 🥇🥇🥇🥈🥈🥈

@@dennisgrant538Ha. No they are not. Not even close. They're liberal and liberalism is a facade the right wing puts on when they want to ward off the wrath of the masses.
@dennisgrant538 Depends what you mean by left. If you mean identity politics nonsense, then sure, but in the material sense they are staunchly right wing. They exist to preserve all the problems Hudson is talking about.
There's a degenerate left and a degenerate right, but they're two sides of the same coin.
I hope I'm this lucid and capable at 85.
Great guest 👍🏼
I could listen to Dr. Hudson all day… Thanks for letting him roll. I learned so much.
Thank You, Michael Hudson.
Valuable information is much appreciated 👍
This is a treasure! Thanks!
Thank you!
Mr. Erhardt, you did however not introduce or even mention your 2 collegues, the big brown one and the grey cat!?
I really like your work.

You need to have MMT economist Bill Mitchell on as well him and Michael Hudson are my 2 favourite economists.
The average person cannot even grasp all of this. They all just adapt to the system whatever that system is. So how to battle all this?

As an electrical engineering with Management experiene I am fully aware of the power of using System theory or Cybernetix to create solutions in complex dynamic Environment. That is why I fully understand Dr. Shivas approach on geopolitics. Thank you Ivor that you have brought up his voice on your Show and yes you should thinks his arguments through and incorporate your findings in your key notes. I try to explain also the benefits of Libertarian thinking with the knowlededge of system theory, which is very easyJet. One should know that the system theory was developed in Princeton University in the 1940s and F. Hayek included the findings in his liberterian model of free markets. This is definitiv the only way to overcome Our problems😅

Fascinating!
This channel needs a huge following. HES TELLING US WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING! I am going to send to some ppl bec this is a must watch channel for ALL adults and students
Dr. Hudson gets it and the profound nature of economics. I never could see why libertarians existed. His explanation here is a truly revolutionary conclusion and should be taught to EVERY STUDENT

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!
The reference to debt cancellation still exists in the greek orthodox version of the prayer btw. I hadn't realized it until I watched this video that it refered to debt and debtors.
Thanks!

Did you de-Tune Michaels voice? Why is everything so much lower in pitch ?
Yeah, that was weird… It was like he was talking through molasses
Round two here we come
The fact that the rhythms of agriculture shapes our economy should not be as novel as it is presented. It's because so many are so divorced from farming and where our food and fiber comes from. Anyone who pays attention to agriculture knows intrinsically about this debt cycle.
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.
I heard about an Indian religious holiday, something about the books, meaning the old book is closed, debts are written off, and a new book is openened. Is this just a symbolic remnant from antiquity, or is it a real practice today? If it is the latter, it would be marvelous, but I doubt it.
Genuine question.
It is still a Government policy

Wow, this was a real astounding interview. Thank you for sharing it! Will have to obtain some of Michael's books. Jee, what kind of an encyclopidian brain that guy has got and how he can really bridge the historical facts with the economic issues of today is really amazing!
Good one. Thank you. Perhaps a video about sanction price fixing
Wow, the basic ancient history of economics puts the modern BS into so much perspective so easily that it's no wonder the people who make all the money don't want it to be taught. Great interview, basically everyone should listen to it.
In modernity, debt charge offs are technically tax deductible… Robinson, thank you for hosting professors and intellectuals. Gratitude
Not for the average joe it isn't..!
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.......

Michael Hudson's knowledge of history and the reality of our economy's organization and operation is invaluable to the citizenry's perspective on our Main St. economy now. How does the Fed/Wall St. unlimited bailout system undermine the necessary cancellation of debt? Is it true that the Dems cancellation of the Student Debt is actually going to bailout the Crditors?
history is one thing but hudson also gave you a hint. read marx. what ppl seem to dont understand is that marx put the whole math down showing that capitalism is just a economic system for certain circumstances and has huge problems.
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 increase in the Electoral Industry offering good return on investment,
seems to be one of the growing costs that US Citizens now are forced to deal with?
How can the average American get representative government?
Handing the debt to the Consumers to insure the GDP remains positive,
was the work of Bernanke and Paulson in 2008.
Now the Consumer Debt has risen by $5 trillion since then.
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.
That Policy does not seem to demonstrate good long term prospects.
Who will remain solvent as the US Treasury goes Tits Up?
Who is left to forgive the debts?
@@danielhutchinson6604 BRICS may not be the power we are all supposed to be afraid of. Our leadership is destroying America and the EU just fine as it is. Just as the political system is screaming at New Yorkers to 'GET OUT NOW'. As the aftermath of the 1/6 event communicates, a political intervention, not an 'Insurrection', the Washington DC Establishment, represented at the Capitol, are making political power exercised by the People impossible, making seeking redress from political representation illegal. It's the Establishment screaming get out of the USA now!. 'We the People' and our existential system, the economy, are being looted as if we were Argintina, and the rest of the 2nd and 3rd world, etc. Every town, city, county, and state in the US are every bit looted as if each of the 50 states were a colony, via the Wall St. central, command, control, bond market and other devices, as if the Dodd- Frank Act, which no one can explain, were never written. Labor has been destroyed to make way for Slave Labor, small businesses are destroyed by a PsyOp. Real Estate is being destroyed, organized under the dicktats of a corporatist takeover. It's not a series of inexplicable hostile acts, it's organized War on the people in our US Constitutional Republic.The case for the reorganization of this Fed/Wall St. unlimited bailout system is obvious, they owe us money, yet it's not proposed to the public. The Redevelopment of North America, the national security, the people's survival, orders the reorganization of the US Banking and Finance system.
@@danielhutchinson6604BRICS is not a new system. Those in charge of it have no intention to forgive debt. They are out for themselves and will be just as predatory as the existing system.

Am i hearing wrong here, its sound like Michael voice sound different than normally
Robinson doesn’t quite sound right either, something is wrong with the audio mix.
We need a public banking system.
MD has amazing knowledge. He should work on how to fix the stupid system that we are trapped in.
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)
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr Brian Nelson. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
Sounds interesting. I was planning to invest some few £ in some coins, stack them up and leave them for a few years, but seeing this changed my mindset. Thank you very much

56:09 That really is important.
A BIG name unfortunately very few knows his work in my country Belgium and probably in Europe.
The rule of 78 (72?) is the sum of the digits method of scheduling interest payments. The rule of 70 calculates the doubling time of an interest rate by dividing 100 times the natural log of 2 by that rate. 100 times the natural log of 2 is 69.3147. . . rounded to 70. An interest rate of 10% has a doubling time of 7 years.
27:09 please dont worry about time. If you have to take 10 hours believe me people will still care and listen ❤
WHEN IS THE MARXISM PART? anyone know, it should be listed in the timestamps in the outline but is not!
Hudson mentions Capital Vol.3 in passing at 47:00 but he avoids the issue.
Hudson’s program of debt cancellation by a reformist leadership is possible without a revolution. Notice the Hudson never mentions the working class. If there is a “class struggle” it is between the “rentier/financier class” and “productive capitalist class”.
I have seen a few interviews with Hudson and he name drops Marx like all academic Marxists do.
The interesting details gives are ultimately useless because he is not clear on his position of capitalism. His assertion at 34:36 that debt cancellation “is socialism” shows he is not a Marxist.
@@johnwilsonwsws thanks, appreciate that
We need trickle down socialism . the rich got already solidarity . now we have to teach it to the not so rich
He's very interesting.
the potential impact of Marxism and debt cancellations on investments, diversification seems more crucial than ever. But how do we safeguard our portfolios against such drastic economic shifts?
Very easy instead of keeping your paper currency whatever Dollars euro Japanese yen in the Bank on low interest rate. Buy phisical Gold and Silver bullion and coins. 🥇🥇🥇🥈🥈🥈
