Looking forward to the new orthodoxy beyond Neoliberalism

[@Anita-md9ze]

Solarpunk. Donut economics.

[@carlosferreira5709]

Congratulations for the extraordinary holistic vision!!

[@krunalpatel3414]

Wht neo-liberalism means to us serfs is; gig economy and hook-up culture, so no settling-down as everything is fickle and liquid now.

[@juicyparsons]

Thank you lol

[@fatpotatoe6039]

yes, adapting to serve the purposes of others and yourself is "serfdom"

[@kenzong8427]

Good start, rare discussion on neoLiberalism, thats we can built up from here. Rare lecture , good start. Thank you

[@progressivelyolder]

Talking to business leaders and predictably receiving an underwhelming ovation.

[@julianmeier3202]

Wow really smart man with a great message

[@TheQwesty]

:D yeah man

[@musicfriendmc3227]

Totally agree

[@screenarts]

Neoliberalism is just laissez-faire economics with a catch. Under neoliberalism the government power is used to support and advance business over people. We've been posed on for 40 years.

[@qwertyuiop-tk9rr]

Basically it's even worse than laissez-faire liberalism because the state's power is fully mobilized to oppress the working class and enslave the population in the interests of private financial and business institutions. Corporations can get away with anything because the lender of last resort will ensure they never fail despite irresponsible behaviour and poor financial management.

[@shaunrutherford7764]

Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor, as they say.

[@imfunnyiswear1490]

So put non-business advisers on boards, reduce economic volatility, and intertwine government and business. This is just progressive corporatism. It’s only end will be preserving the oligarchy by intertwining it with bureaucracy.

[@usnbostx2]

They are conflating “neoliberalism” with the free market, when in fact we’re suffering from corporatism and the effects of central banking. It’s funny he described how the rising tide has in fact lifted all ships at the beginning, and then later described it as an emperor with no clothes.

[@BERENCEV]

Watch Adam Curtis’ latest documentary films to get a broader picture and dive deeper into the subject.

[@amooij]

So who will decide what's good for everybody?

[@fatpotatoe6039]

big daddy govt which loves you and wants to care for you cradle to grave - and these idiots call free markets and liberty serfdom lmao

[@Iandar1]

Remember when the world bank admitted poverty was increasing but then by a magical twist of the wrist they said poverty was decreasing.

[@JTSeneca]

Perhaps because it is a reality Ian. Don¨t you belive in science?

[@Iandar1]

@@JTSeneca well the $1.90 (I believe) as the international poverty line is arbitrary, most if not all poverty decreases have been in the People’s Republic of China and they did the same exact thing the USSR did between Lenin’s death and their entrance into WW2 in the 1938 or 1939 but then handed things to the private sector much like the US has done with all the innovations the state has done in the last 100 years. It is true that the proportion of people in poverty has decreased but to eliminate poverty will take 200 years but the economy must reach 173 times its size right now (which we have no reason to believe) and no recessions happen (seeing not only we going through one now they happen every 4-7 years on average).

[@patrickvernon2749]

We cant ask business owners to do anything. The state needs to gain strength. The atate and the workers organizations need to gain relative strength. Thats what needs to happen

[@land3021]

They'll probably renew it and then continue buisiness as usual until the next expiration date, and the next one after that and the next one after that... with things changing hundreds of years down the line little by little... sadly.

[@gking407]

Worse living conditions, inequality, and environmental problems will make continuation impossible

[@land3021]

@@gking407 You're right, but lets say, they make things a tiny bit better(like reducing carbon emissions a bit aswell as cleaning up just enough to get a bit more time so to speak) - basically, making enough change for people to not be allowed to complain, yet little enough for the issue to still exist...

[@Szcza04]

It’s even worse than pure free market economics. They get to do whatever they want, and rewarded generously by the state.

[@Xpzilla]

I feel like conservatives are gonna click on this video thinking it's dunking on left wingers and be shocked to find out its the exact opposite.

[@samuraichampionz]

Yep.

[@usnbostx2]

I wouldn’t say the opposite…it could actually be an attack on both.

[@resto95]

I hate neoliberals

[@mahmud6229]

The more I listen to such a good talks, the more I believe that a life on earth without a belief in the After-Life, as per religious meaning, is just another a failure orthodoxy. The missing meaning he was talking about can't come from a life without a holy existence that must be started from the God and will return to the God.

[@thomaswikstrand8397]

...what? No, having invisible friends is not relevant, ever, in any way.

[@Odinarcade00]

When an orthodoxy turns into 1984 and/or Handmaids tale it’s time to STOP

[@tombouie]

Aka prescience

[@jeanpaulsarrazinmartinez597]

Too many unfounded assumptions

Extremely naive, at times distressingly shallow, at first, although I will allow for a few very important points being made later on.

[@paperlesstest740]

Well it's only 18 minutes. One can say the same of a parable.

[@declankerr9085]

Jon, sounds like you are a dinosaur and part of the problem.😷

let me guess, you either bought digital currency or are happy with the selfish fruits of capitalism?

[@Iandar1]

It’s been on the rise since at least 2005.

Farenhite and vice versa unfortunately

[@aaronmathias6739]

@@ArthurWuYeah211 You have said a lot of things & yet absolutely nothing. Why are you being intentionally vague?

[@davidalexanderlourie4371]

That means poverty has been normalized. More people are equally poor.
