Vulture Capitalism - Grace Blakeley & Jeremy Corbyn In Conversation

Grace Blakeley & Jeremy Corbyn talk about her new book Vulture Capitalism - the book you need to understand what is happening in the world around you - and what you can do to change it.
In Vulture Capitalism, acclaimed journalist Grace Blakeley takes on the world's most powerful corporations by showing how the causes of our modern crisis are the intended result of our capitalist system. It's not broken, it's working exactly as planned.
As Ha-Joon Chang says, 'Read this book if you want to make fundamental changes to the world.'
Hosted by Arise - A Festival of Left Ideas.

Grace n Jezza, two wonderful human beings…. Christ knows we need more of them.

[@Midland_Wolf_71]

Its nothing short of a crime what the rancid British establishment did to this man. Yes, he could have been wiser/stronger in how he fought it but it still gets me ANGRY AF to this day…...

[@mikeharvey9811]

Not enough showing of the film oh Jeremy Corbyn the big lie. He was attacked by the press, USA army our bbc everything was thrown at him. When you type his name it, it doesn’t come up until the last letter. Some paultry name like Wes …….. barb

[@kuramobay2445]

Actually, it was the greedy and uninformed British public who failed to support Corbyn. Truth be told, we don't deserve him, we deserve Starmer or lil' Rishi, that's about right for our hyper-individualism and entitlement,

[@VinsLeMans]

Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the rest

[@Gunni1972]

No quarters for the rest. But Companies can "experiment" until they run without workforce.

[@englishlit0171]

JC & Grace are amazing ⚠

[@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn]

Na just Grace.

[@mariapelengari3485]

Great conversation!! I'm continue to be angry that all our utilities are privatised!! Time to fight back and change these greedy, relentless profit making systems

[@Inclusive_Humanism]

I so enjoyed this conversation!

[@ggb5583]

Grace Blakely is a brain of our time!! Hope to get her book for Christmas.

[@Johnconno]

You will Darling!

[@mawkernewek]

check if your local library has it, mine did

[@mawkernewek]

What I thought was one of the interesting points in the book, is when she mentioned the Lucas Plan, and how workers came up with an alternative plan, which unfortunately wasn't followed, instead the company being sold off, chopped up and moved around various owners in a series of mergers/aquisitions. This highlights that in capitalism, there is planning, but its assumed to be something that only the owners and top stratum of managers can or should take part in, but this isn't the only way it could be.

[@susanmiller14]

Brilliant conversation! 🙏

[@Johnconno]

Yeah, Chomsky had it 50 years ago.

[@frankkashner64]

So much insight, so many good ideas

[@janeoliver1486]

Imagine how wonderful this world could be if only people like Jeremy and Grace were in "power" (for want of a better term) everywhere. Thank you.

[@avs4365]

Can recommend Grace's book - just finished it. Well researched and with an election coming up there are plenty of points one can use in opposition to the rants of the UK media which will undoubtedly rank up against anything that gives a hint of socialist common sense.

[@wajdatabassum5751]

'What is normal' Thanks Jeremy. And I have just ordered the book looking forward Grace well done on that. We needed that

[@PetaloudesTouYialou]

Excellent output. Thank you. We don't hear about corporate welfare enough. These deals between governments and business have little transparency. It's a major block to democracy.

[@mrstephenpariah]

The nefarious interests are consolidating though, that's the crucial thing all the alt economists are missing. Soon it will be too late.

[@lizshephard2964]

You have to look in the right places for the alt economists, but they are there! Dont get deflected by the mainstream deluge.

[@lizshephard2964]

Just keep Left.

[@marilynrich3456]

I live in Canada. It is basically a capitalist society like the U.S. but with a lot more socialism like many European countries. Most poverty is in rural areas, esp. in remote native communities. Their old way of life has been 90% destroyed but there are very few modern jobs.

[@michaelrch]

Two great speakers. Thanks

[@mikewells6121]

Oh, Jeremy Corbyn. I'm so pleased you exist. I realise you realise sharks circle you ready to prey on any ambiguous words. Keep on keeping on x

[@diogenes1815]

Great conversation between two exemplary human beings.

[@DwynAgGaire]

Many thanks!!

[@CarolPrice4p]

Thanks! I needed this good antidote to Ms. Nukeland.❤

[@Gunni1972]

How did she infect you?

[@brothercaleb]

Grace is awesome 👏🏽

[@jamesmoore3223]

This was awesome thanks

[@grainnefallon7713]

Excellent talk, thank you. Grace you are such a great leader and Jemery, sure your not bad yourself. Solidarity from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤ best of luck to anyone on the left running for election in the UK and Ireland in the next few weeks!! Pace yourselves ❤❤❤

[@eroceanos]

❤

[@user-ol5oj1oi3m]

So refreshing to hear Jeremy again. Been a while for me. Imagine if he was leading Labour in the upcoming general election? Sir Keir has been handed this on a plate. I'm voting Green.

[@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn]

The Tories would win is the answer. 2017, the tories had only a 12 seat majority, and terrible leadership Under May, and he still couldn't win.

[@Dean-qe9cl]

Grace Blakeley is Loaded lol :).

[@Johnconno]

She's a spunky gal! 🥒

[@Johnconno]

Don't cry for me in Meksiko!

[@KevenHutchinson-gt1nn]

Wow, It sound's like Jeramy may of read this book.

[@ethelmini]

We can watch Grace's Boeing hypothesis in real time with the Post Office scandal going through the courts.

[@ESuccessMasters]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕💕♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟

[@geoffreynhill2833]

I only wish Grace would speak a little more slowly. I keep having to rewind to clock it all ! ⚡🤔("Green Fire", geoff nelson hill, bookshops)

[@geoffreynhill2833]

PS: Jeremy, have you noticed how the very word "problem" has been replaced by the neutered "issue" in the Ne(r)oLib Newspeak? (George Orwell must be spinning in his grave.)😖

[@ethelmini]

KZbin has playback speed controls

[@biashacker]

It is always about selling a book.....,

[@adsdft585]

Does the argument that democracy is the reason not think about left policies?

[@Gunni1972]

Arguments don't think for themselves Arguments are the Product, Thinkers have to sell.

[@lrong21]

ya full of breeze

[@ethelmini]

49:00 Jezza bang on the money, yet again. How Slavery ended is blatantly obvious if you look at the chronology. 1791 Haiti slave revolt against French 1793 - 98 Britain invades southern parts of Haiti abandoned by French, get evicted by the revolutionaries. 1807 Britain Outlaws the slave trade, but not slavery. It has slave colonies in the West Indies & S America, near Haiti. It also offered freedom to slaves who fought against US independence 1776-83. Sierra Leone was established as a British colony for former slaves (in W Africa, where slaves were taken from) in 1787. 1831 Christmas Slave Uprising, Jamaica 1833 Britain abolishes slavery 1837 Slavery Compensation Act pays out £20 million in compensation
