What about financial crimes in South Dakota with trust and inheritances

BOOOOOOOOORRRRIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGG

Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield with his request for “More” was the catalyst for industrial unionization.

I doubt if anyone has ever worn their learning as lightly as Michael Ignatieff. I used to love his discussion programmes in the mid 80s called Thinking Aloud with Stuart Hall, Roger Scruton et al. I'm not sure how much of it I understood, but I have a strong memory of Ignatieff's quiet, probing intelligence.

How are you gonna say the west prospered while the east suffered, implying this was somehow the fault of a socialist system and in the next breath admit that there was literally a trade embargo against the DDR? For all her talk about being a historian and attempts at being impartial she certainly does a lot to continue the same old western propaganda that liberal capitalism just works while state planned socialist systems leads to empty storefronts.. disappointing

Neo-liberalism is also the idea that the public should not demand influence over policy. A protest is a major crisis for neo-liberals. Neoliberals see themselves as parents and the public as their children.

Very insightful discussion

Danke.

MPS is covered in The Quiet Coup: Neoliberalism and the Looting of American by Mehrsa Baradaran (University of California at Irvine Law School) 2024, author of The Color of Money

Clinton signed away Glass-Steagall which was put in front of him by Texas Republican Phil Graham (Korean wife Wendy) who went through the revolving door to UBS Warburg.

Great interview and information. THank you!

So glad that you shared this video. What a great tribute to one of my favorite authors, and the author of my favorite book! Glad to know her work is getting more love and attention

Neo-liberalism simple definition is the transfer of the public domain power to the private sector “YOU’LL OWN NOTHING AND YOU’LL BE HAPPY”. BUT SOON TO BE REPLACED BY A TECHNO-FEUDALISM SO YOU ARE F-UP ANYWAY AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR SKILL COLOR IS ( JUST A DISTRACTION TO KEEP YOU DIVIDED YOU SEE THEY ARE JUST A HAND FULL YOU ARE ZILLIONS AND IF YOU UNIITED YOU ARE A GREAT FORCE TO CONTEND WITH SO THEY NEED YOU DIVIDED) .JUST THINK ABOUT IT. THE CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST.

it is a well researched book. the style veers around a bit between first-person retelling (which is, I suppose, as valid as any other, if the source is the horses mouth) and a lot of distilling academic-style stuff which is a bit dense for me. I'm glad it is showing, not telling, or, rather, not proselytizing cherry-picking leading-on. I just watched A Perfect Crime. for those saying on here about the "youngers" mouthing off about things they know nothing about. The whole thing is not so much about the crime, as little is acutally known, but interviews about the times. i did spit my tea out quite a lot at that.

Great video, very informative, thank you. Unfortunatley, undestandding what you were talking about requires thinking while the idea "this is all because of immigrants" does not. I am not saying people are stupid, because they are not. They are incredibly intellectually lazy.

Thank you so much for this. I, too, found Donne through Howl, and, honestly, my whole English degree was just building on the novels of Diana Wynne Jones: Keats hit different after Fire and Hemlock: I understood Aeschylus because of Homeward Bounders (my personal vote for best novel not often mentioned). More profoundly, my writing voice was shaped endlessly rereading these books. Every time I reread any of them as an adult, I see phrasings and cadences that I think of as mine, and I feel like a fraud.

Prisons have security and cheap rent too. Yeesh.

more taxes & regulations today how uk neoliberlism

Did the guy heard of. 2007 global financial crisis!? Free market 😂

@33:34 yes s indeed , media , fox and Murdoch are doing a great job for promoting democracy

This scholar is big fun of Regan , he is very biased toward this former President!

"Neoliberalism ..=basically Screw the small people🙃=💀. And keep the screw-On💀like right -wing Stink-tank💩 ..Full on stink💩=💀=tory🙃-crap💩! Fact💀.. d🤕🇪🇺

Climate legislation is worthless give white people benefits directly from the state. Send checks and don’t stop. Stop means testing away benefits for whites

Please try to include context of many Eastern European countries being under colonialism from Austrian - Hungarian , Prussia and Russian powers. It is important. What is saying is excluding that context

Just started her book so came here first. I lived in China for three years spanning the year 2000 and have a huge interest in this topic…

One of the best conversations I've watched! Thank you for sharing this. Just incredible analysis by Andy!

Beckett works for The Guardian a purveyor of anti working class policies like global warming, mass immigration, EU membership which I utterly reject. As for antisemitism in the Labour Party. I absolutely don't believe it is in any way significant. Remembering that Corbyn's pal Lansman who helped him con his way onto the leadership ballot (by claiming Corbyn didn't want to be leader) is a very strong Zionist. Corbyn' leadership campaign was very dodgy. George Galloway claims not to have a liberal cell in his body. Corporate liberalism (BBC, Guardian) is the real enemy not the Tories.

Interesting discussion.

Walked & bussed through Albania in 1993 with a friend. At least 80% of people in the south were stick-thin suffering malnutrition. I went mainly to see how the Greek population were doing & the Albanians. The place was hell in burning acid. A dentist was telling us how he had been learning English through the programmes on BBC. One in four Albanians were spies for the Communist State. The police came to him asking why he was learning English. He said 'I want to be able to speak to all the world.' They said 'You are a bad man' & locked him into what sounded like a mining concentration/work camp for twenty years. He told us terrible stories of people murdered in his camp for disagreeing with communism. Fortunately the regime fell so he came out early. People were so desperate they were swimming to Corfu. They did not even have rowing boats or fishing tackle so they were using dynamite for fish. We were invited to five funerals of men on the coast who had died from the inadequate dynamite in one week. The Government had built 600,000 concrete bunkers against invasion telling their people 'The West wants our good water & bread.' The place was a nightmare. We met hundreds of people telling us horror stories. The people had been so enraged when the regime fell they tore down their excellent public buildings. What Lea says here is nonsense. My parents began the Taunton Communist Branch before the War. What finished me emotionally with Communism--I was finished intellectually a long time ago--was Albania in 93. Compared to Albania the West has good freedoms. We go through a crisis now but that is because the Extreme Right have managed to fool people & take over traditional Conservative Parties. Kick them out & find leaders to tackle the grave problems facing us.

Her book led me here. It's exceptional and very unique. Thank you for posting this talk.

did he really somehow jump over who took over latin america's economy after all the coups in the 70s and instead drew attention to reagan ... instant classic say financial times ... what a joke ..

Hi, I’m making a documentary for my third year dissertation on the north-south divide, could I use part of this clip, particularly 5.36-6.02

what did really bring the wall down was the desire of the east germanz for western consumer goods. they saw it on west german telly ads every day and this was the driving force behind it - not the desire for freedom. i still remember, one east german summarised it in a talk show after the fall of the wall: "i want l,marlboro, marble jeans, a ghetto blaster and a golf GTI.". that was the driving force which brought the berlin wall down. the primitve desire for western consumer goods. these days it is, of course, shown in a different light. - this woman here is far too young in order to be able to report properly about the ddr. anybody who is younger than 50 has no clue and should not lecture about the topic, particularly not abroad. imagine an english native at the age of 25 trying to teach germanz about the thatcher times. that is as absurd as what this woman here is doing with her gdr-lecturing.

it's just the tired old recycling of laissez faire economics, which everyone knows does NOT WORK. So they slapped a new, misleading (it's not liberal) label on it and resold it to the public. This is how the right always operates. with deception.

It's always necessary to parse a speaker's political bias when listening to a talk like this. Gerstle may at first appear to be an impartial analyst, but that's clealry not the case.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYupqWWKqqqJrZY “With someone else’s ass we’re all whores” -Professor Javier Milei Argentine President Mieli said: “The state is a criminal organization that finances itself through taxes levied on people by force. We are returning the money that the political caste stole.” “You can’t give s**t leftards an inch. All collectivists, all kinds of collectivists. [...] They are s**t!,’” he thundered. “If you think differently from them they will kill you. This is the point. You can’t give s**t leftists an inch, if you give them an inch they will use it to destroy you. “You can’t negotiate with leftards. You don’t negotiate with trash because they will end you! If you are on the other side, they will ruin you. They will kill you, they will throw you everything, they don’t care if they ruin your whole life. Why? Only because you don’t think like them.” The sh***y, silly, parasitic and useless political caste, he denounced “useless, parasitic politicians who have never worked”. “I’m here to kick these criminals out”, he said. “Leftist sons of b*tches, be afraid!” “Do you know the years of the Great Depression?” asked Milei wryly. “It was between 1929 and 1933,” and he continued, “And do you know in what year the General Theory was published? In 1936.” “It would be good for you to study it if you want to ask questions about Keynesianism”; “You’re saying something stupid”; “It seems to me that you even have comprehension problems”; “Your problem is arrogance because you don’t know a damn thing and you give your opinion about what you don’t know,” I’m not a totalitarian, I’m just saying you’re a don^key. You start giving your opinion on things you don’t know the fu^ck about,” he said, sparing her all diplomacy. The state does not create wealth, the state destroys it. The state can give you nothing, because it produces nothing. - Javier Milei

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYupqWWKqqqJrZY What does Argentina`s President Prof. Milei have on his mind? Well, he thinks that politicians are “rats” that form a “parasitic caste” that only think about getting rich. The state should only dedicate itself to security and justice. “He combines a kind of ultraliberal orthodoxy, from [Milton] Friedman and [Friedrich] Von Hayek… he sees himself as a warrior against the state. “People realize that we’re getting poorer and that the only ones making progress are the politicians, the parasites.”

Mariana Mazzucato argues that the United States' economic success is a result of public and state-funded investments in innovation and technology, rather than a result of the small state, free market doctrine that often receives credit for the country's strong economy. She wants to change the perception of the government from a bureaucratic machine that stands in the way of innovation, to government being the lead risk taker in terms of investing in innovations.” Clearly she is a Democratic Socialist then. Seemed to be rather well hidden that fact. What about Gates, Job, Musk, Larry Page, Bezos? Demonstrably the polar opposite is true. Typical socialist rubbish that gets an audience because governments want justification to spend more of your money competing with the private sector, the socialist road to ruin.

Soft capitalism becomes plain, rotten to the core socialism sooner or later. The principles of free enterprise capitalism are immutable.

It was exactly the same as 1980's Liverpool. 🗜️

This is amazing. I’ve been reading her books with my wife and we are having such a great time together. It’s so nice to hear a little bit about the author behind the books and the woman behind this fantastic imagination. The stories and perspectives you shared were brilliant.

Loved her book

Thanks for this insight from someone who was there at the transition, and had the patience ot talk to the participants. My comments are below. Disclosure: I was in both Berlins as a tourist in the 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s. I also lived in East Berlin for two years in the 1980s, before the unexpected change in management. I was not there for the fall of the Wall. I request thoughts on the absence of personal revenge by those who were reported on by the Stasi, against those who did the reporting. First the comments: BRISTOL GUILT: Take it easy on this. Can a city be guilty of what was done on the real estate hundreds of years ago? Have the Scandinavians and Italians paid anything as compensation for the outrages of the Vikings and Romans on the English? Any recent appologies or public rending of garments by ambassadors? ANPASSUNGSFAEHIGKEIT: This is the ability to adjust to a situation, and the DDR population did this in a range of degrees. Proverbs such as "You can't fight city hall," Don't try to p*ss against the wind," and "Bend with the wind" all seem to reflect the prevailing attitude. I know that an East German associate was a member of the Socialist Unity Party and the German-Soviet Friendship Whatever. She marched on Unter den Linden carrying whatever photos or slogans were required. I am confident that, if the Vegetarians came to power, she would not have had any problems marching with a poster of a turnip. Do as needed to perhaps get a better apartment, chances for your kids in school, or the goodies that dribble down to party members. Play the cards you are dealt, play the golf ball as it lies, don't try to swim against the tide, "Mitmachen!" RENDER UNTO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR'S: In German it is more specific, "Dem Kaiser geben was dem Kaiser gehoert." POPULATION DECLINE: In modern times there have only been two absolute population declines in peacetime. Ireland during the potato famine and East Germany before the Wall was built. MUTI GEHT ANS WERK: (Mommie goes to work) That is a song sung by DDR children. A woman's place is on the shop floor. SLIGHTLY MORE THAN EQUAL FOR REASONS OF PHYSIOLOGY AND TRADITION: Women received an extra day off each month due their monthly biological needs. However, the days off could be accumulated, with the result that females got 12 more days off each year than their male colleagues. DER STAAT ALS KINDERGAERTNERIN: This was Stefan Heym's characterization of the GDR, of which he was a citizen and resident. Respected but a pain in the rear at times for the government. The kindergarten teacher could discipline with a stern look, a rap on the knuckles, or time in Bautzen, a prison in the remote southeast of the country. She had an oblligation to care for all her chidren becuse she knew best. Likewise the government knew best and enforced the SED views on the population, which remained a mass of children. THE YEAR OF BOTH MARX AND LUTHER: Yes, these two Germans were celebrated in the same year, but not together. - - - - - - -NOW MY QUESTION:- - - - - Why no revenge against the ex-Sasi by those that they reported on? People had their personal and professional lives messed up by Stasi spies, but I have never read about the spied upon taking revenge, as in 9 mm pistol revenge, against the person who reported on them. Possible explanations: -The Germans are peace-loving and all forgiving in non-military affairs. They have short memories and do not carry grudges. This is another case of you looking at the world through your John Wayne-Rambo-cowboy eyes. I don't think that this is a satisfactory explanation. -The joy of unification cleansed the country of all anger. -There is an attitude of "everyone was doing it," reporting on everyone else. There must be something to this. This was indeed reflected in the film "Gundermann," when Gundermann confesses to a colleague that he was the subject of a report by Gunderman to the Stasi. The colleague laughs and says that he had also reported on Gunderman. Another Bibical thought, "Let him who is without sin (or this sin) cast the first stone." -There is residual resentment at the de-Nazifiction process conduced by the WWII Allies, and especially the Americans, after WWII. I attended a National Party of Germany rally, which was just on the border of being make illegal, when the question came up. The speaker asked the wildly hypothetical and fantasy-like question, "Would there be de-Socialist Unification Parytification in the unlikely event of German unification?" The audience sentiment was clearly that this insult would not be appropriate or necessary. I sincerely (really) would like some enlightening views on this.- thanks, Dutch_Uncle

Gary is great with history, but his political biases are giving him a blind spot to the democrats being extremely authoritarian today. Think of big tech, the FBI, and the propaganda of the press.

Excellent visionary outlook...I concern myself with many of the same insights...as do others, so its nice to get confirmation of the need to outline infrastructures.

I wonder if he still thinks the same. To see the scene as so-called progressivism vs authoritarian is in itself so NEOLIBERALIZED that I doubt if he understood neoliberal globalism and that there is establishment vs at least 2 alternatives of which one is a real socialist one!

The neoliberals are social darwinists with an Austrian school gloss, all afraid of workers ...

Neoliberalism refuses to recognize public goods or the attendant problem of collective action, so the private market solves all problems and what the market does not solve cannot be solved or the problem is imaginary. No such thing as society said Margaret Thatcher. These principles don't extend to foreign policy where these people have a touching faith in aliances and promises

19:55 the neoliberals don’t want fully free markets and ”destruction” of the regularory state. They want a free market for the large corporations to function ”freely” and a state that bails them put whenever they fail. The neoliberal ideology deeply depends on a strong state that helps out the big corporations and thus the wealthy individuals to stay in power. That is the whole point of neoliberalism and how it differs from conventional classical liberalism.
