Curtis Yarvin = idiot political figure (A.K.A. Mencius Moldbug)

  Mencius Moldbug

 The world is about to be forced off the cliff, here is the the philosophical reason why. Arguing for a 'benevolent dictator', Curtis Yarvin a weak minded moron, can't figure out how to make democracy work. Nearly every business in the USA is structured as a petty dictatorship, and nearly everyone either works for or has worked for such a corporation. The only people who are not in these hierarchical organizations, working for their boss, are the owners of these corporations, living off the work of others like parasites. When a gambler cheats at the game, bribes the dealer, or steals his stake in the game, we frown upon that, but when the capitalist does the same, buys the politicians, and changes the rules, we call them President. (I can't believe this guy reproduced, his kids must be idiots) Curtis Yarvin = idiot political figure (A.K.A. Mencius Moldbug)

We have to control the rate of debt (how much of GDP is ALLOWED to be borrowed on credit - ie, bank lending for investment ~<50%) as much as we control interest rates, inflation, and unemployment. 

There is calculus to be learned. NO MORE SPECULATIVE LENDING! 
No lending for essential items. 
Labor creates wealth, but if there is no wealth to trade for labor ... labor dies.

U.S. Inflation Frustrations & Potential Solutions with Jon Stewart, Kitt...

I love John Stewart and especially like all the work he's done to communicate about the Macro-Economic problems during and after the fact, over the decades. What these discussions always seem to neglect to acknowledge about inflation is that IT IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE AMOUNT OF GOVERNMENT SPENDING!

MODERN MONITARY THEORY clearly shows that INFLATION is a direct result of the QUALITY of the government's INVESTMENTS. If they waste money (such as corporate tax cuts, wars, or giving free loans that are forgiven to millions of small business owners) then you get inflation. Suppose you INVEST money into valuable goods and services, such as infrastructure and education, healthcare and public housing. In that case, you get a RETURN ON INVESTMENT as people work more and better and create more value to drive up both the velocity of money and the total value in the economy all of which can then be taxed later to fix the deficit.

That said, John is absolutely correct that government should be a security blanket for a rainy day, not a giveaway to the corporate elite. The lack of Slack limits our choices. But a better solution to inflation would be to BREAK UP ALL THE MONOPOLIES and introduce competition that will lower prices.

Stephanie Kelton - “Finding the Money” & “The Deficit Myth” | The Daily Show

This is the first attempt I've seen to explain Modern Monetary Theory to the general public since the 2008 Bush Bank Bailout. It arises now because of the increased Federal deficit spending and subsequent inflation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

I think it is a mistake to dumb down the Economic explanation, and it's a shame this job was left to Comedy Central and the Daily Show to educate people. If they had started by explaining that the Government creates money by buying goods and services, and that money enters the economy and is multiplied by FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING to increase the money supply. Then they could have gone on to explain that the new $$$$$ created do not inflate prices, or deflate the value of the dollar, as long as the work created by spending the new $$$$$ into the economy is of value equal to the spending. So, as long as government investments are good and valuable, there is no risk of inflation, as the return on investments expands the total value of the economy to reflect government spending. 

Stephanie Kelton, bestselling author of “The Deficit Myth” and professor of economics and public policy, talks to Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng about changing our understanding of government spending through MMT, or Modern Money Theory. She also explains how the national deficit is not a number to be fearful of, but can be put to good use, and how government finance is far more flexible than you might think. #DailyShow #StephanieKelton #Money

The Apes and Wall Street | The Problem With Jon Stewart Podcast

What is the ape movement?

The Emergence of the Ape Movement: The term "ape" has become synonymous with retail investors who are passionate about investing and reshaping the stock market landscape. It originated from the mantra "APE" (Act, Plan, Execute), which embodies the idea of taking control of one's financial future.

Support Novara Media:

Most of you will agree that corporations have undue influence over our democracies, but exactly how this influence is exerted is tricky to illustrate - and that is by design. Behind innocuous sounding acronyms and worthy sounding trade agreements are the real cogs that allow the global corporate machine to corrupt societies and our guest this week, Matt Kennard, has spent the last two years investigating these shady entities. In his new book, ‘Silent Coup’, he and co-author Claire Provost give us shocking examples of how corporations exert, expand and consolidate control over the lives of practically everyone.

Richard Wolff: Marxism and Communism | Lex Fridman Podcast #295

Richard Wolff: Marxism and Communism | Lex Fridman Podcast #295 https://youtu.be/o0Bi-q89j5Y Lex turns himself inside out, and can't deal with the truth about capitalism and Marx's ideas. An excellent discussion of Marxism, Socialism, and Capitalism, but never mentions that Socialism is the END STATE of the Marxist dialectic, a utopian idea as realized in Northern Europe today. Richard Wolff wrote a book on the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union, which details why Stalinist U.S.S.R. (like Mao's China) was NOT a communist democracy, but instead a one-party, totalitarian military dictatorship. This discussion is by far the best public discussion on Capitalism and Marxism in the past two decades.
