If you follow politics at all, your head must be on a swivel (and hurting) with all of the upheaval going in America and abroad. In many cases, promises were made but not kept which may be making you rethink some of your recent choices at the ballot box and even squirm a bit.Comedian JP Sears dissects these recent events and, like the deft, wise humorist he is, reminds us that giving our power as citizens way too easily on promises not delivered makes us the punchline of the joke, a lesson all of us can learn from as we create a better destiny for ourselves and the world this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about JP and his work on his website.

Javier Milei, en el acto por el Día de la Bandera en Rosario, reivindicó la figura de Manuel Belgrano como precursor del liberalismo económico. "Por mandato familiar fue abogado, pero sus pasiones fueron la economía y la difusión de ideas absolutamente novedosas para la época, como las de Adam Smith", afirmó. Y agregó: "Comprendió que la riqueza no provenía de los privilegios otorgados por el poder, sino del trabajo, la producción, el intercambio y la iniciativa de las personas. Por eso puede ser considerado el primer intelectual liberal económico argentino." Victoria Villarruel, tras el acto en Rosario, fue contundente al referirse a las muestras de apoyo a Manuel Adorni durante la ceremonia. "Es un acto patrio, no era un acto para apoyar a Adorni", señaló, y remarcó: "No hay nadie más peleado con los valores de Belgrano que Adorni". Y concluyó: "Lo de Adorni está totalmente de más".Axel Kicillof participó de la jura a la bandera en San Jorge y defendió la soberanía nacional y la educación pública. "Sabemos que hay un ataque muy fuerte contra la educación pública. Hay una disputa, hay una discusión sobre la soberanía nacional", afirmó. Y agregó: "Venimos a decirle a quien esté confundido o no lo sepa, que esa bandera es la nuestra, que es nuestra soberanía. Y que le hemos prometido lealtad solo y exclusivamente a esa, a la celeste y blanca".En una entrevista de archivo de julio de 2018 en A24 con Luis Novaresio, Milei cuestionó duramente a varios economistas liberales, entre ellos Adrián Ravier. "Yo no es que más o menos estudié Keynes, yo estudié Keynes en serio, no como los chantas de Carlos Rodríguez y los Cachanosky o los Ravier que hablan de Keynes y no lo leyeron", disparó. Y agregó: "Todas las citas que hacen además son citas de liberales sobre Keynes porque no lo leyeron".Adrián Ravier, en un archivo del 6 de mayo en LN+ con Paulino Rodrigues, habló de su vínculo con Milei y su llegada al gobierno. "Tengo una amistad con Javier Milei que viene de antes que sea un economista famoso y mucho antes de que tenga una inmersión en la política", afirmó. Y explicó: "Soy un economista liberal de toda la vida, hace treinta años que estudio ideas liberales. Quise dar una mano en La Pampa, un poco con la propia presión de los que han sido alumnos míos en universidades y me pedían que me metiera y un poco por esta invitación del presidente también". Abelardo De la Espriella celebró su resultado en las elecciones colombianas con un discurso cargado de emotividad. "Ha triunfado la dignidad nacional, ha triunfado la república y ha triunfado la esperanza", proclamó. Y agregó: "La de hoy es una noche maravillosa en la que brilló la democracia y Colombia demostró una vez más su grandeza. Esta es la noche que marca el inicio de una nueva historia para la nación. La noche en la que empieza una nueva era. Un cambio de orden. ¡La patria! ¡Milagro!".Donald Trump, en The Axios Show, afirmó que es necesario mantener "cuerdo" a Benjamín Netanyahu y que Israel habría sido aniquilado sin su intervención. "Si no fuera por Donald Trump, Israel habría sido aniquilado", sostuvo. Y cuando el periodista le preguntó por su relación con Netanyahu, respondió: "Es buena, pero tenemos que mantenerlo un poco, eh, cuerdo". Ante la consulta sobre si podría evitar un ataque israelí al Líbano, fue categórico: "Sí, lo haré. Me tienen mucho respeto y hacen lo que les digo".Netanyahu salió al cruce de las versiones que circulan sobre su relación con Trump y defendió la autonomía de ambos líderes. "En Estados Unidos dicen que el presidente Trump hace todo lo que le pido. Y en Israel dicen que yo hago todo lo que él quiere. Pues bien, ninguna de las dos afirmaciones es cierta", afirmó.
SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-18-26.1922Colombia's Presidential Election and Abel de la Espriella. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses the upcoming Colombian election and frontrunner Abel de la Espriella. As a lawyer with multiple passports, de la Espriella positions himself as a disruptor similar to Donald Trump or Javier Milei. He advocates for building mega-prisons to confront gangs and reviving the hydrocarbon industry. 1Poverty and Economic Stagnation in Developing Nations. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. Veronique de Rugy examines why countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo remain in extreme poverty. She identifies institutional failures, such as a lack of property rights and predatory governments, as the primary causes of stagnation. Growth, she argues, is the only sufficient element to lift people out of poverty. 2Advancements in Small Satellite Propulsion. Guests: Paulo Lozano and Amelia "Mia" Bruno. Paulo Lozano and Mia Bruno introduce electro-spray thrusters utilizing green ionic liquid monopropellant for small satellites. This technology allows a single tank to fuel both efficient electric and high-thrust chemical maneuvers. Unlike toxic hydrazine, this fuel is safe and allows satellites greater mobility for Earth observation. 3Future Missions for Miniaturized Space Technology. Guests: Paulo Lozano and Amelia "Mia" Bruno. With an unlimited budget, Paulo Lozano envisions a fleet of autonomous small satellites exploring near-Earth asteroids for scientific value. Mia Bruno aims to use improved propulsion to reach the moons of Jupiter and Saturn much faster than current missions allow. They also discuss performing complex orbital plane changes using chemical maneuvers. 4The Normalization of Crisis in Bolivia. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Professor Evan Ellis reports on the 49-day blockade in Bolivia that is strangling the economy under President Rodrigo Paz. Driven by Evo Morales and indigenous groups, the protests have caused significant GDP shrinkage and business closures. Despite being resource-rich, the country faces a fiscal crisis as natural gas reserves dwindle. 5Security Challenges in Colombia and Political Transitions in Peru. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Evan Ellis discusses the ELN's influence in Colombia, noting that armed group activity has doubled since the 2016 peace agreement. He suggests that restoring security and government presence is vital for the middle class. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori holds a thin lead in a contested election supported by the diaspora. 6The Criminal Landscape in Venezuela and Regional Politics. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Ellis details the rise and fall of the Tren de Aragua gang, which originated in Venezuelan prisons and spread across the Americas. A recent drone strike suggests potential cooperation between the U.S. and the Venezuelan regime to normalize the mining sector. Meanwhile, Brazil's Lula da Silva faces increasing regional isolation. 7Bukele's Security Transformation of El Salvador. Guest: Professor Evan Ellis. Professor Evan Ellis describes how President Nayib Bukele has dramatically improved security in El Salvador by imprisoning over 90,000 suspected gang members. This "Singapore-like" approach has revitalized commerce and public administration despite concerns over democratic erosion. The capital, San Salvador, now features new construction and increased safety. 8Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Roots of Transcendentalism. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols discusses Ralph Waldo Emerson's return to Concord, Massachusetts, where he transitioned from a Unitarian minister to a public intellectual. Emerson became a "loadstone" for radicals like Henry David Thoreau, who initially improved his family's pencil business before focusing on nature and philosophy. Emerson's dissent sparked a broader intellectual movement. 9Amos Bronson Alcott and the Transcendentalist Identity. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols introduces Amos Bronson Alcott, a self-educated thinker who revolutionized education through conversational, Socratic methods. Though his schools often failed financially, Alcott was supported by Emerson and became a key figure in the Transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalism emphasized finding higher spiritual truths or the "oversoul" within the universe. 10Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Literary Circle of Concord. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols explores Nathaniel Hawthorne's move to Concord and his complex relationship with Transcendentalists like Emerson. Unlike the optimistic Emerson, Hawthorne's fiction focused on human tragedy and the presence of evil. He struggled financially, often competing with popular "scribbling women" for book sales while publishing short stories to make ends meet. 11The Extraordinary Life and Tragic Death of Margaret Fuller. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols chronicles the life of Margaret Fuller, a pioneering feminist and journalist who served as the first female war correspondent. Fuller's intellectual prowess "wowed" Emerson, though her life ended tragically in a shipwreck off Fire Island. Some scholars believe Hawthorne modeled his character Hester Prynne after her. 12Japan's Energy Crisis and Economic Resilience. Guest: Lance Gatling. Lance Gatling discusses how the Strait of Hormuz crisis has driven Japanese crude oil import prices to record highs. To maintain stability, the government has tapped strategic reserves and subsidized fuel prices while increasing imports from the U.S. Despite the weak yen, Japanese exporters are booming, and the stock market has reached all-time highs. 13Japan's Future in Energy and Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Lance Gatling. Japan is working toward a goal of 40–50% renewable energy and 20% nuclear power by the mid-2030s. Lance Gatling notes that Japan remains a critical link in the semiconductor chain essential for the global AI boom. While circumspect about AI's authority, Japanese companies dominate the hardware manufacturing processes necessary for semiconductor production. 14The Moral Foundations of the American Revolution. Guest: David C. Rose. David C. Rose explains that the American Revolution was driven by men who considered themselves "independents" rather than rebels. Drawing on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, he argues that humans crave approval and follow cultural norms. Over time, these norms shifted toward "moral don'ts" or guardrails, fostering a freethinking mindset. 15Guardrails and the Psychology of Independence. Guest: David C. Rose. David Rose argues that the Revolution occurred because the British King violated the "guardrails" of his own power, losing the respect of his subjects. While tax issues were prominent in Boston, a more generalized feeling of disenfranchisement fueled the movement. The Founders ultimately chose independence when the reciprocity of decency and legitimacy failed. 16

Adam Smith is widely considered to be the father of modern economics. His influence is far and wide - from the Founding Fathers of the country to the economic and classical liberal strands of libertarianism. In this episode, we pay tribute to the enduring genius of Adam Smith by discussing some of his most powerful and influential concepts — ideas that continue to ignite liberty and prosperity centuries later, such as the invisible hand, division of labor, man of system, cooperation, competition, limited government and free market capitalism.

A FEDERAL GRAND JURY JUST INDICTED THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER FOR ALLEGEDLY PAYING NEO-NAZIS TO STAY NAZIS. Today we walk through the New York Post bombshell on the SPLC indictment, the alleged $3 million pipeline through shell companies to violent extremists, and the wider pattern of manufactured hate stories that have shaped American media for forty years. Then we head to California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger just blew the whistle on Sacramento's gas price racket, and Adam Smith's 250-year-old playbook explains exactly why Californians are paying nearly six bucks a gallon. Judge Andrew Napolitano joins us with his sharp new column asking whether America at 250 is still a republic or already an empire. Then we simulcast with Chris Salcedo on the future of the liberty movement, the collapse of the LP, and whether there's still room for a liberty wing inside conservatism.

Adam Smith's “Wealth of Nations” was published in 1776, shortly before America's Declaration of Independence. Smith famously described an “invisible hand” at work behind markets and exchanges, but what did he really mean, and how have so many people misunderstood his many ideas about trade, markets, and free enterprise?Professor Brianne Wolf discusses Smith in surprising terms: he was first concerned with human morality and behavior, in the connections and community that individuals built with one another. Trade and economics were downstream of those fundamentals. Beyond that, Smith's explanation of the advantages of markets over central planning or forced commerce are not well-known today - despite their relevance in the face of arguments in favor of government control of economic behavior.Read Bri's article on Smith: https://tinyurl.com/5yuwsc9bHost: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanideaHomepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/

Let us, as Americans, be humble, kind, considerate, and respectful of one another, and of others. Regardless of conditions or circumstances, we can choose “uncompromising integrity” (tummah). Today is the first day of Muharram,[1] the first month in the Islamic calendar, “a time of mourning and peace,”[1:1] “in which fighting has been forbidden since before the advent of Islam”.[2] However, let us not be naive in believing that Machiavellians in our midst are equally as reverent and wouldn’t sieze the ‘opportunity of crisis’ to use the Kitson counter-gang within the Gladio archipelago to provoke a Strategy of Tension episode. May we choose to maintain our own “uncompromising integrity”, regardless of provocations, conditions, circumstances, or what others choose that may be contrary. What, but good, can come of that…?

The Day of Ashura (or Ashurah) is known as the most sacred day in the month of Muharram. It is the 10th day of Muharram and is a day of fasting for many Sunni Muslims. Many Shi'a Muslims use the day to commemorate the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali in 680 CE.

Um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros. Marxista, que teve uma carreira brilhante na academia, como professor da USP e da PUC em São Paulo. Houve um período em que teve que ficar afastado, por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual. Uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Este foi Paul Singer, personagem do documentário que faz parte de uma série de documentários de não ficção realizados pelo diretor Ugo Giorgetti. Este terceiro episódio sobre a série teve a colaboração por meio de entrevistas com o ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, a jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer. Roteiro Liniane Brum: Paul Singer, uma utopia militante: esse episódio é o terceiro de uma série sobre os documentários e as peças de não ficção do diretor de cinema Ugo Giorgetti. Meu nome é Liniane Brum, sou doutora em teoria e crítica literária pela Unicamp e realizei a pesquisa de pós-doutorado “Contra o apagamento – o cinema de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti” também na Unicamp, no Labjor, com o apoio da Fapesp. [Trilha musical] Liniane: A partir do ano de 2020, Ugo Giorgetti assina três documentários biográficos. São produções realizadas sob encomenda, que têm em comum a apresentação de homens que se destacaram em suas áreas de atuação e como pessoas também. São filmes que não partem de uma inquietação artística ou de uma necessidade intelectual. Ainda assim, são autorais. Estou falando dos filmes Paul Singer, uma utopia militante, produção de 2021, A invenção de Conrado Wessel, de 2024, e Alberto Dines – vínculos de liberdade, que saiu em 2026. Neste episódio vamos tratar de Paul Singer, uma utopia militante. Eu conversei com três pessoas sobre esse documentário. O economista, produtor do filme e ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, que me ajudou a entender os bastidores da produção. A jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer. [Vinheta Oxigênio] Liniane: Antes de mais nada, pedi a eles que apresentassem quem foi Paul Singer. Paula Quental: Ele era de uma família judia, assimilada, como se diz, não era religiosa. Ele vinha da Áustria, a mãe percebeu para onde caminhava a coisa do nazismo. Ele conta, inclusive tá na dissertação, que ele descobriu que era judeu, aos seis anos de idade, quando a Áustria foi anexada por Hitler. Aí, chegaram os amiguinhos dele do colégio, com aquelas bandeirinhas nazistas, com a suástica, e ele queria sair junto (com os meninos) com aquela bandeirinha. Aí, a mãe dele vira para ele e diz: “mas, Paul, você é judeu”. Marcos Barreto: É um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros, marxista e veio com sete anos fugindo do nazismo, com a mãe, o pai já havia falecido, ele veio com a mãe para São Paulo, e ele faz um curso técnico primeiro, ele começa a trabalhar como metalúrgico, só depois ele vai fazer faculdade. E vai fazer faculdade por conta de uma militância política dele, porque o sindicato, o movimento, achava, o mesmo movimento operário, que eles deveriam se qualificar as lideranças, e sugerem que ele vai fazer economia, e ele faz economia, ele se forma já com quase 30 anos, e ele depois tem uma carreira brilhante na academia, professor da USP, foi professor da PUC em São Paulo também, no período que teve que ficar afastado por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual, uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Paula Quental: Quando ele entrou na USP, ele já tinha lido o Capital, Trotsky, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburgo, que é muito da tradição dele, ele se considerava um luxemburguista. Então, é uma história de alguém que foi mergulhando nos clássicos e foi desenvolvendo um trabalho muito original, porque ele acabou indo para uma vertente, digamos, herética do marxismo, não convencional, heterodoxa, porque ele criticava, por exemplo, a União Soviética, ele criticava o centralismo da economia, ele defendia que deveria vir da base, da economia solidária, das cooperativas. Então, ele era um crítico da Revolução de 17 de outubro, da Revolução Bolchevique. Marcos Barreto: Depois, já mais nos últimos 20 anos da vida dele, ele se dedica a um tema muito importante, que é a economia solidária, então ali ele encontra talvez o assunto dos quais ele estudou, que mais ele pôde misturar uma militância política com um saber acadêmico, e colocou em prática, ele foi secretário de economia solidária no governo Lula e Dilma, até o impeachment da Dilma, praticamente ele ficou em Brasília coordenando essa Secretaria. Liniane: Esta apresentação foi feita pela Paula e pelo Marcos. E por aí a gente já consegue ver uma trajetória bem particular, que mistura prática militante e teoria, o que já o difere de muitos intelectuais. Faltou o destaque que o Marcelo Justo fez do nosso protagonista, que trago agora. Marcelo Justo: Tem um marco na vida do Singer, tanto pessoal quanto como militante, que é trabalhar em grupo. Ele se destaca como intelectual e parece que o intelectual é uma figura sozinha, isolada, mas ele só tem essa força que ele tem pela capacidade de estar em grupo e de se conectar o Singer é o que a gente chama mais contemporaneamente de um articulador de redes, ele está sempre mantendo redes de amigos e de militantes juntos, que caminham juntos. Liniane: Marcos, como surge a ideia de um filme sobre ele, ou seja, quem fala: “olha, agora tem que ser feito um documentário sobre o Paul Singer”. Marcos Barreto: Quando ele falece, um grupo de amigos, de pessoas que gostavam muito do professor, dizem, bom, a gente precisa fazer alguma coisa pra contar essa história dele, precisamos registrar isso de alguma forma, fazemos um livro, fazemos o que? Não, vamos fazer um filme e aí a gente faz então uma campanha de crowdfunding, pra conseguir o recurso pra fazer o filme. O primeiro passo foi esse: nós não tínhamos diretor, nós não sabíamos exatamente que filme seria, mas a gente resolve fazer algo que tem muito a ver com a economia solidária, uma grande vaquinha, em todos os 27 estados do Brasil, no Distrito Federal, há pessoas que contribuíram pra que o filme fosse feito. E aí ficamos, então, pensando que diretor pode fazer esse filme, ou diretora? Quebramos a cabeça até que eu sugeri que fosse o Ugo Giorgetti. Liniane: Por que Ugo Giorgetti? Marcos Barreto: Porque, entre várias coisas, o Paul Singer escolheu a cidade de São Paulo, quer dizer, ele veio criança, ele não escolheu propriamente, foi a mãe dele que veio, porque já haviam familiares em São Paulo. Mas ele acaba vindo pra São Paulo e adota a cidade como a cidade dele. Ele era um apaixonado por São Paulo, falava isso várias vezes, ele voltava às vezes pra Europa, ia fazer palestra, dizendo que não tem nada como São Paulo. Liniane: Assistindo o documentário, a gente percebe que Ugo Giorgetti traduz o Singer múltiplo. Os entrevistados comentam o olhar do diretor sobre suas conexões com figuras importantes da política, do campo da educação e mesmo e seu papel na difusão de O Capital, de Marx no Brasil. Foi ele quem primeiro traduziu o livro para o português. Paula Quental: Teve uma passagem no documentário do Ugo Giorgetti, em que ele entrevista o Paul Singer, porque ele fez ainda várias entrevistas com o Paul Singer, em que o Singer lembra da época que ele dividiu o secretariado da Erundina com Paulo Freire. E ele fala que aprendeu muito com o Freire, que se sente extremamente influenciado pelo Freire. E isso até me estimulou a escrever uma sessão na minha dissertação, chamada Dois Paulos, em que eu analiso justamente o aspecto pedagógico da obra do Paul Singer, que ele próprio se coloca como muito influenciado pelo Freire. Marcos Barreto: Com essa amplitude que tem a vida do professor, as pessoas podiam conhecer um lado, mas pouca gente conhecia o todo, e o filme permite esse registro. E do ponto de vista acadêmico, é um registro interessante também, mais uma vez, sem ser algo cansativo, extenuante, chato, ou mais maçante, vamos dizer assim, porque ele está ali, o registro da vida intelectual, de uma forma leve, de uma forma que você compreende e fala nossa, ele fez tudo isso, nossa, foi ele então que traduziu o Capital. Liniane: No final dos anos 1950, professores da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da USP, dentre os quais José Arthur Gianotti, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Ruth Cardoso, organizaram um grupo para fazer a leitura de O Capital. Paul Singer integra esse grupo com a missão de traduzir o livro diretamente do alemão. Não custa lembrar que se trata de uma obra canônica no campo das ciências humanas. E que naquele momento Paul Singer ainda não era o economista, intelectual destacado e homem público da alta burocracia governamental. Aqui, as falas de Marcelo, Marcos e depois a Paula. Marcelo Justo: Isso é um marco né? é um marco, acho que para o Singer, é um marco na esquerda brasileira também, porque é um primeiro momento falando pelos relatos deles, que vão se debruçar sobre a obra do Marx de uma forma sistemática, durante muitos anos, – que é interrompido com o golpe de 64, mas começa, se eu não me engano, em 58, 59 e aí vão para outros autores, não só Karl Marx, que aí vão pegar o Singer como um leitor, desde criança, do alemão. Então ele integra o grupo como quem vai ler, trazer a versão original do alemão, mas é que eles vão comparando também a tradução. Então tem a leitura em alemão, tem a leitura em francês, a leitura do que existia em português. Isso depois vai servir também como base para o Singer depois fazer a tradução, a primeira tradução original em alemão do Capital, aí já nos anos 80. A partir desse grupo sai a tese de doutorado do Fernando Henrique Cardoso, então acho que tem todos esses marcos. O professor Roberto Schwarz até hoje também se refere a esse momento, o professor Michael Löwy, que é conselheiro do nosso instituto, que foi muito amigo do Singer, também se refere até hoje como um marco na vida dele, esse momento de leitura do Capital. Marcos Barreto: E depois tem um segundo momento, que é muito rico também, quando ele é convidado por um grupo de jovens que diz assim: “poxa, a gente queria fazer uma leitura do Capital”. E aí veio a ideia de fazer uma leitura no Teatro de Arena. Então já pensou o que era isso? Você reunia no Teatro de Arena, já na ditadura militar – aí nós estamos falando de um Brasil já fechado do ponto de vista político – e esse grupo se reunia sábado de manhã para fazer a leitura do Capital com a coordenação do professor Paul Singer. Então isso é um marco também, e desta leitura ele também aproveitou, como bom acadêmico, e fez um livro sobre essa experiência. Paula Quental: Eu ouvi do Lincoln Seco, professor de História da USP, que ouviu do Florestan Fernandes, que ele é a pessoa que mais conheceu O Capital no Brasil. Ele editou uma edição da Abril Cultural do Capital, uma edição famosa do início dos anos 1980, que a editora Ubu agora reeditou. E ele lia no original, ele mergulhou, e desde uma externa idade. Liniane: Eu selecionei um trecho do documentário em que o próprio Paul Singer fala sobre Marx. Ele integra o segmento intitulado por Ugo Giorgetti “Um autodidata na USP”. Ouve só: [Trecho do documentário] Paul Singer: Marx, em primeiro lugar, deu uma visão do capitalismo que ninguém havia dado antes, e que agora se mostra inteiramente verdadeira. Marx está sendo ressuscitado por não marxistas, exatamente como coincide, eu diria, de uma forma ultra surpreendente com este capitalismo extremamente em crises, crises que se repetem etc. porque ele entendeu, uma das coisas que tem Marx, a contribuição dele, é só dele, não é de outros, é que os economistas clássicos, tipo Ricardo, Adam Smith e tantos outros, que não eram reacionários, não, eles não eram de direita, mas eles jamais lembrariam em analisar a economia através de lutas de classes, isso é Marx. [Efeito Sonoro] (Voz de Paul Singer bem baixinha) [Silêncio prolongado] [Trilha incidental] Liniane: Marcelo, o Instituto Paul Singer e o documentário nascem praticamente ao mesmo tempo e se dedicam à difusão do legado do professor. Em que medida essa coincidência influencia o trabalho da entidade? Marcelo Justo: O Instituto, ele começa em 2021, a organização dele. No final do ano é que ele se formaliza com o CNPJ, e em 2022 é lançado, tornado público o Instituto. Ele é uma iniciativa dos familiares do Paul Singer, basicamente eu e a Helena Singer, que é a minha esposa, filha dele. É uma associação sem fins lucrativos que tem como missão preservar e reinventar esse legado. Um legado que tem esse histórico de uma luta pela democracia, pela solidariedade, a luta contra todas as formas de injustiça e desigualdade. Marcelo Justo: O nosso principal desafio é a difusão, é a divulgação das ideias e obras do Singer. Então, um documentário como esse é muito importante, ajuda muito nisso em 50, 40 e poucos minutos, assim, você tem a trajetória inteira dele, da história de vida, as principais ideias e algumas das polêmicas enfrentadas na trajetória, na vida dele. Então, para a gente, é um material muito importante, muito rico para divulgar. Liniane: É fato: documentário e Instituto convergem em objetivo e se fortalecem mutuamente. Porém, Marcos Barreto me explicou que o filme foi feito a partir de entrevistas realizadas em momentos diferentes. Na primeira, de 2015, Paul Singer é entrevistado pelo grupo que viria a produzir o documentário. A segunda é feita por Giorgetti, em 2018, antes do falecimento do professor. Já o Instituto, como Marcelo me contou, e formalizado em 2022. Marcos Barreto: O professor, no final da vida, já nos últimos anos, tinha alguns fatores de memória, algumas coisas que estavam começando a falhar. E a gente identificou isso, e a família, e a gente falou, bom, vamos gravar, vamos colocar o Paul Singer falando sobre a vida dele, sobre coisas que ele fez na vida que são marcantes, sobre passagens importantes, vamos quase que fazer uma entrevista com ele. E a gente fez duas sessões grandes com o professor, foi o Fernando Kleyman quem organizou isso, em Brasília. E ele então, por duas sessões de quase três, quatro horas, falou um monte, o que foi ótimo, porque quando a gente conseguiu resolver o dinheiro para fazer o filme, escolher o Ugo, etc, o professor havia já avançado na doença, já tinha dificuldade, o Ugo chegou a conversar com ele ainda em vida, o filme é lançado depois que o professor já faleceu. Liniane: O documentário foi divulgado na imprensa como uma produção que praticou a Economia Solidária. O que significaria essa afirmação, Marcelo? Marcelo Justo: Então, na economia solidária, democracia e autogestão são sinônimos, praticamente, nos escritos dele. Então, o que é isso? As pessoas se organizarem para produzir juntos, sem patrão e sem empregado. Todo mundo é cooperado. Não é à toa que o documentário tem o nome da utopia militante, que esse é o título do livro dele, que ele se coloca a isso, né? A questão da utopia como uma militância. A militância dele é por essa utopia, que é uma utopia de construir um socialismo que seja democrático, que não seja a experiência do chamado socialismo real, que é uma ditadura de esquerda. Liniane: Marcos também comentou sobre o termo utopia que está no título do documentário. E destacou, mais uma vez, a multiplicidade de papeis de Singer nos vários espaços em que atuou. Marcos Barreto: Esse título é tão forte e também resume tanto do que é o professor, porque justamente reúne essas duas facetas, que é uma pessoa que é um intelectual brilhante, professor titular da USP, com um militante que nunca deixou de ser militante. Ele foi estudar economia porque ele era um militante, e ele termina a vida como alguém que está pensando a economia solidária, que é algo prático, então ele não tava sendo um teórico da economia solidária, só que aí no meio desse percurso, já nessa última década da vida, nas últimas duas décadas, ele escreve esse livro, que é uma utopia militante, então ele assume ali o quê? Que ao mesmo tempo que ele está defendendo algo que é utópico, que é um desejo do que ele gostaria de ver acontecer, ele assume que aquilo só vai acontecer se tiver militância, ou seja, talvez aí, diferente do socialismo científico, que parte da ideia de que há uma evolução natural da história que vai ligar o socialismo, e que é algo que aliás o Singer não acreditava. Então o título, na verdade, quem escolheu foi o professor Paulo Singer, para o livro, e a gente quando viu, quando foi pensar no título do filme, a gente falou, putz, difícil achar um nome melhor do que Utopia Militante. Liniane: O documentário estreou no Festival Internacional É Tudo Verdade, em 2021, em um momento em que a letalidade do coronavírus alcançava um dos seus picos. Ele foi exibido de modo on-line, mediante a distribuição de duas mil senhas, que se esgotaram em poucos minutos. [Efeito sonoro] Liniane: “A trajetória política e intelectual de Paul Singer: da crítica marxista à Economia Solidária” é o título da dissertação de mestrado defendida por Paula Quental no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros, o IEB, da USP, a Universidade de São Paulo, em 2024. Marcelo Justo, que é doutor em geografia pela mesma universidade, organizou o livro “Urbanização e Desenvolvimento”, uma coletânea de textos de Paul Singer. O volume foi editado pela Autêntica em parceria com a Fundação Perseu Abramo. Marcos Barreto é hoje Diretor Geral do Instituto Equipe Educação, Cultura e Cidadania e Vice-Diretor Geral da Fundação Escola de Sociologia e Política de São Paulo (FESPSP), e segue engajado com a divulgação do legado de Singer.

Adam Smith, MA, Senior Spiritual Wellness Provider at Canyon Ranch Tucson, brings clinical spiritual care training, pastoral care education, and years of experience supporting people through trauma, hospice, loss, and life transitions to the table. In this conversation with David Stewart, he argues that modern life has left many people overstimulated, over-measured, and disconnected from the deeper practices that make a life feel complete. .Adam explains how choosing uncertainty over worry can create calm, why walking meditation can reconnect us to the body, and how flow state depends more on adaptability than mastery. As you listen, take note of his suggestions for practical language in resilience after 50: less obsession with control, more self-compassion, more presence, and a willingness to trade the spectacular for the nourishing.Join Us at the 2026 Super Age Games!

Born and raised in San Diego, Charles Snow held a variety of jobs early in life, including: paperboy, grocery store cashier, accounting clerk, chauffeur, and sports director at a private school; each of which taught him important lessons about how organizations worked and were managed. Chuck earned his PhD in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent his entire academic career as a professor and researcher at Penn State. While there, Chuck taught management subjects to MBA students and executives in more than 35 countries. In this episode, we focus on the core essay that Chuck and co-editor Oystein D. Fjelstad wrote for their book, “Actor-Oriented Organizing,” which is part of Cambridge University's Companions to Management series. In conversation, Chuck discusses three key qualities essential to flattening hierarchical bureaucracies so that teams of employees can respond to emerging customer needs with greater speed and spontaneity. First, there's a great (often unmet) value in openness to change and transparency. The second is a “commons” area, a space where team members feel they're on equal, shared ground. And third is having the resources – financial, digital, and political – to ensure their work leads to outcomes that are incorporated into the company's operational bloodstream. Underlying the entire approach that Chuck advocates for is seeking to act for the common good of all, embodying the “mutual sympathy” style that made Adam Smith not the just the “Father of Modern Economics,” but also a leading promoter of empathy before the term rose to prominence today. Real Transformations: Business Change That Works from the Inside Out is co-hosted by Julie Anixter and Dan Hill, PhD, entrepreneurs with deep experience as corporate change agents, devoted to helping companies make continuous change work for everyone through clarity and connection.

KGMI's Dianna Hawryluk and Adam Smith chat about the 2026 World Cup and where to watch the games in Bellingham.
In this powerful conversation, Martyn Richards joins Adam Smith to unpack a struggle that so many men quietly deal with: feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. On the surface, it starts with excessive screen time and doom scrolling - but underneath it lies something much deeper. Together, they explore self-worth, shame, confidence, childhood conditioning, and why so many high-performing men still find ways to hold themselves back, even after making huge progress in other areas of life.

Matthew 8:28–34 | Adam Smith
My friend, Clint Freeman, sent me an article this weekIt has to do with Artificial Intelligence and I added it to my “weird news” fileDarin White, “Four in ten Gen-Z and millennial adults say spiritual advice from AI is just as trustworthy as advice from a pastor. One-third of teenagers have talked to an AI companion rather than a human being about serious, personal issues. Thirty-nine percent of Gen Z would skip or delay a doctor's visit if AI told them their symptoms were low risk . . . . And 26 percent of Gen Z adults have engaged in some form of romantic or companion relationship with an AI chat bot.”- this is either scary or silly, but there is another development that is more serious for usWhite, "[In] April, a tech company . . . launched an AI-generated avatar of Jesus that people can talk to, pray with, and seek spiritual counsel from for $1.99 per minute. The avatar was trained on the King James Bible . . . .”- one of the concerns I have about this, is AI is not bullet-proof• I've been reading Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations◦ in chapter 5, he quotes an author without naming him, but claims he was,Adam Smith, “by far the most illustrious philosopher and historian of the present age”◦ I assumed he was referring to David Hume, because he was a friend that Smith admired• when I looked it up, an AI engine immediately popped up and curtly (I felt) reported, "no philosopher is quoted in book 5 of The Wealth of Nations◦ dissatisfied, I searched for the actual quote, and that was in Hume's writings◦ feeling vindicated, I corrected the snobbish AI bot

Anne McElvoy and guests discuss the concentration, distribution and morality of wealth now and look back at An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, published by the Scottish economist and philosopher Adam Smith in 1776, which gives an early account of what builds nations' wealth and introduced concepts such as free markets, the division of labour, and productivity.Our guests for this episode of BBC Radio 4's Friday night ideas discussion programme are:Vicky Pryce, economist and business consultant and co-author of Mismanaged Decline What Politicians Won't Tell You About the EconomyMaha Rafi Atal, Adam Smith Senior Lecturer in Political Economy at the University of Glasgow. The University is holding a series of events to mark the 250th anniversary of the publication of The Wealth of Nations.Dafydd Daniel, Lecturer in Divinity at the University of St AndrewsAllister Heath, business journalistHettie O'Brien, Guardian writer and author of The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against ItselfProducer: Eliane GlaserYou can hear another discussion about searching for economic solutions in the most recent episode of Start the Week, Radio 4's Monday morning discussion programme where Tom Sutcliffe was joined by Mariana Mazzucato, Jeremy Hunt and Patrick Foulis.
Before Kanjun Qiu raised $200 million from NVIDIA and others to build reliable AI agents, she was writing high-frequency trading algorithms to pay her way through MIT. Today she leads Imbue, an AI lab unusually focused on power, agency, and what it would take to make AI systems trustworthy by design. In this episode, Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sit down with Kanjun to explore what it means to truly own your AI tools, not just use them; how to build agents that are systemically trustworthy, not just convincingly so; and why the future of AI may depend as much on moral invention as technical innovation. From meditation and the amygdala to Adam Smith and open-source software, this is a conversation about the deeper architecture of the AI future.

On this episode of Virtual Sentiments, Kristen Collins speaks with Glory Liu about the 250th anniversary of both Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and the Declaration of Independence. Together, they unpack the message of The Wealth of Nations as a critique of Britain's mercantile system rather than a manifesto for laissez-faire economics — illuminating Smith's careful attention to power, class, and state capture. The conversation explores what reception history reveals about the distance between an author's original intentions and what subsequent readers make of their ideas. Glory and Kristen also reflect on what it means to commemorate Smith today, how our current moment of reckoning with concentrated economic and political power is drawing readers back to Smith, and why doing so responsibly requires both historical care and honest self-awareness about what we're really asking Smith to do for us.Dr. Glory Liu is a Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellow and Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Georgetown University.

The thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment have often been claimed for sociology. But, what does it mean to say these thinkers were sociologists, or at the very least precursors to the subject? Does it, for example, mean that intellectuals of 18th Century Scotland had the same concerns as we do today? Alternatively, does it mean we should think of sociology as an elite discipline, developed by men who were attached to power, albeit with some often critical insights? In turn, if we accept these thinkers as doing something distinct, how can this sociologically be explained? These are the questions which animate Alex Law's The Roots of Sociology: Scottish Enlightenment and the Civilising Process (Routledge, 2026). Structured around two sections, Sociology and the Scottish Enlightenment, as well as Sociology of the Scottish Enlightenment, Law sees these thinkers as thinking through what Elias would later call the civilising process. He so doing he explores how questions of state formation, violence and emerging commercial society structured their interest and how the particular position of Scotland, a stateless nation experiencing rebellion, provided the space for what he calls their ‘pre-sociology'. In our podcast we discuss how Law's attempt to see the Scottish Enlightenment thinks as concerned with the civilising process differs from other attempts to claim them for sociology, the legacy of the Act of Union for these writers and how one became a thinker in these times. We also discuss why Adam Smith is, for Law, an ‘ambivalent' figure for sociology and what we can learn from these writers about the scope and historical insight sociology should have. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and the author of G.D.H. Cole and British Sociology: A Study in Semi-Alienation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) and co-editor of The Anthem Companion to Henri Lefebvre (Anthem Press, 2026) along with other texts.

Matthew 8:23–27 | Adam Smith
Welcome back to the Solarium, witches.We've dusted off the chairs and tables, planted a few rows of herbs, brought in fresh candles and cushions, and stocked the shelves with plenty of tea, smokable blends, and magical conversation. So pull up a chair and settle into that warm, candlelit sanctuary where every chat feels just a little enchanted.In this Solarium review episode, Laylla and Chelle gather around the reading table to talk about the witchy books and oracle decks currently rattling around their brains and haunting their bookshelves in the best possible way.The episode begins with Tarot Tableau Revolution by Maria Alviz Hernando, a visually rich and imaginative exploration of tarot symbolism, storytelling, and layered interpretation that sparks a conversation about personal readings, artistic inspiration, and the strange poetry hidden inside the cards themselves. From there, the witches move deeper into the cauldron with Pagan Portals: Cerridwen by Danu Forest and Entering Hekate's Cauldron by Cyndi Brannen, exploring themes of transformation, initiation, crossroads magic, goddess devotion, and the sacred mysteries waiting in the darker corners of spiritual practice.Then the oracle decks come out, and the energy shifts.Laylla and Chelle discuss The Initiates Oracle by Marcella Kroll and Adam Smith, with its mystical atmosphere, initiatory themes, and the sense that some decks arrive less like tools and more like invitations through hidden doorways.But the true magical spark of the evening comes when the Solarium welcomes a very special guest: the legendary Judika Illes, author of The Magic Spells Oracle.Together, Laylla, Chelle, and Judika chat about spellcraft, magical traditions, oracle creation, intuitive practice, and the living heartbeat of magic itself. The conversation drifts from thoughtful and inspiring to delightfully chaotic in true broomstick fashion, creating the kind of intimate witchy gathering that feels like staying up far too late beside the fire while the incense burns itself down to ash.This episode is cozy, insightful, funny, and overflowing with magical inspiration for witches, readers, tarot lovers, deck collectors, and curious seekers alike. Expect book talk, oracle deck reviews, goddess lore, laughter, and at least one moment where everyone disappears down a wonderfully strange metaphysical rabbit hole.Pour yourself something warm, light a candle, and join Laylla, Chelle, and Judika Illes for an evening of books, cards, conversation, and candlelit magic beneath the glow of the broomstick lantern.Side effects may include compulsive deck collecting, sudden altar rearranging, and an urgent need to haunt your local occult bookstore.Got a question?
