[@jeffsartadventure3634]

[@MrJojowasaman]

[@hughslooskant4420]

What a tremendous breath of fresh air this is. Thank you TeleSur or whoever got these three together.

Two brilliant Economists at the top of their game, I learned a lot.

[@jaketapper45]

I like this conversation.

[@dinnerwithfranklin2451]

Great interview with some practical approaches to the situation we live under today.

Fascinating and important stuff. When McDonnell goes into No.11 Downing St. I hope he DOES have these exemplary thinkers and activists on his team of advisors.

Excellent interview! I would recommend everyone interested in this subject (especially the financialization of everyday life and the rise of rentier capitalism) to check out the work of professor Michael Hudson. He's also been a somewhat regular guest, commenting on current events, on the podcast Left Out (I believe you can find it on Soundcloud) which I also highly recommend. They have many in-depth interviews of left-wing economists and thinkers (like Ann Pettifor here, David Harvey, Stephanie Kelton etc etc). I honestly think this is the most important issue the left (and even the liberal center, if there are any real liberals, believing in actual productive capitalism, left) should be focusing on right now, first disarming and then democratizing banking and finance, which have grown to become a global virtual senate ruling over states and suffocating even the appearance of a political democracy while sucking rent from the real economy. Otherwise the consequences will be dire.

Finland Station Thank you for his name. Richard Wolff and Gar Alperovitz do a lot about democracy in the work place, you'll appreciate them too. #divest had good run in US for a while, cities still dragging feet on putting city money into credit unions or public banks.

[@yngveskogstad2030]

Very interesting interview, but horrible sound quality. Blasted this at maximum volume, but could hardly hear what was being said. So much echo as well.

[@duncanmckeown1292]

The bankers should have been reading Steve Keen...He could have told them that the neoliberal economics profession were teaching bunk for decades when it came to debt, and money, in the global financial system. Not that they would have liked what they were reading.

[@tomtesoro7994]

" we understand" no! ' we' . the majority are kept ignorant by the MSM.. by its ' language' and the presentation of financial experts.. whose language is divisive.

[@alexisp696]

It wasn't that the people were afraid when the 2008 crash happened - the government just said that it was a big problem, and then that the banks would be bailed out. Nobody was asked whether they wanted it to happen - because they presumably knew the answer (get stuffed) - and the notion of public consent was manufactured as usual by various "journalists" and "experts". As a result, the crooks were actually rewarded for their crimes and naturally went on to commit even greater and more risky crimes. I dispute that they didn't understand - they knew very well what they had done and what was at stake, but didn't care. All that would have happened was that a few corporate banks would have gone bankrupt, and a bunch of rich people would have lost some money. As for Obama - he was not a free agent. His administration was stacked with crooks and cronies from Wall St and the banks - and they were the ones who decided what to do. They decided to borrow trillions to fake it until some unspecified time in the future. After all, the consequences didn't affect them at all.

Grace Blakeley is stunning, should be a model 😛

[@TheRowlandstone73]

Agreed! I must admit, the only reason I'm here is because I've just seen her on BBC's Politics Live and thought she was gorgeous!

Lol, me too, lovely hair , she even got a song on you tube, can sing too

There is enough capital, Tariq, Anne and Grace and if it's properly saved and channeled nobody would be poor! But capital and money is being wasted!

They're talking about how to save capitalism! How is it an "anti-capitalist commemoration"? Ridicilous.

[@tomtesoro7994]

FIRST SAVE.. THEN BLAME.. THEN' R BUILD.

[@henrirauhala4335]

I think everyone has already been blaming capitalism for long enough. However, capitalism can't be overthrown only by negative attitude towards it. Socialist revolution requires an objective revolutionary situation which is created by the contradictions of capitalism. Then we also need a subjective, revolutionary force, and Jeremy Corbyn is not going to provide that.

[@henrirauhala4335]

Your approach is the disastrous one. Putting faith in a rotting bourgeois "democracy" is only giving more time for a system that is inherently unsustainable, socially and ecologically. Of course, there shouldn't be any illusions about the revolutionary process. It's not a pretty scene, since the ruling bourgeoisie class won't give up their priviledges voluntarily.

[@coreycox2345]

@Oners82 I didna think of that. I have liked a few of my own comments that I made years ago and then forgot.
