Podcast appearances and mentions of Benjamin Wilson

In this episode, Money on the Left shares audio from "The Black University & Community Currencies,” a public workshop convened by Professor Andrew J. Douglas at Morehouse College on April 25, 2025. This episode presents Part 1 of the workshop. It features an introduction by Professor Douglas and two panels. The first panel is titled “What is Public Money?” (Delman Coates, Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson. The second asks: “What is the Uni Currency Proposal?” (Scott Ferguson & Benjamin Wilson). Money on the Left will release audio from Part 2 of the workshop within a few weeks' time.Description:In the late 1960s, in the context of the Black Power movement and amid calls to develop Black Studies programs at many US colleges and universities, Black student activists and radical intellectuals sought to imagine a more revolutionary "Black University," an institution or network of institutions dedicated entirely to Pan-African study and research. This workshop revisits the theory and vision of the Black University. It foregrounds questions of political economy—ranging from the theoretical critiques of capitalism and empire that inspired the Black University concept to more practical questions about financial viability and the "business model" of a revolutionary Black institution. And it considers how an emerging school of heterodox economic thinking—what has come to be known as Modern Money Theory—might inform a renewal of the Black University and its commitment to Black community building.This comes at a time of great crisis in US higher education, especially at HBCUs. Students are unsustainably indebted, encouraged to think of their education as little more than a private economic transaction or "return on investment." Schools, increasingly desperate for funding, are made to compete for private capital, often in ways that compromise their ability to serve even the nominally progressive aspects of their missions. Surrounding neighborhoods have become little more than sites of extraction, sources of low-wage labor and opportunities for land speculation, otherwise walled off from the very institutions they are made to sustain. More broadly, democratic questions about what kind of society the university is meant to serve or what kind of society we want an education for are rarely if ever addressed. Meanwhile, fascism's dramatic resurgence is renewing questions about whether Black institutions can rely on even minimal support from white society. In many ways, we appear to face some of the very same conditions that inspired the vision of the Black University more than a half century ago.What would it mean to renew the theory of the Black University? What are the challenges involved in building the Black University from within today's HBCUs? How might we reimagine the financial architecture of the university and its commitment to surrounding communities? How might new thinking about public money and banking-heterodox ideas about credit creation, public investment, jobs programs and the mobilization of community resources inform such a reimagining? How might HBCUs experiment with the creation of complementary currencies? And does this new thinking go far enough, or does it reflect simply a recommitment to the structures of domination and exploitation imperial state projects, the logic of capital, the instruments of antiblack violence that the Black University concept was always meant to expose and challenge?Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Extending an existing runway at Heathrow is a solution more economical and environmentally astute than constructing an entirely new third runway. It would result in lower carbon emissions, reduced noise pollution, and its implementation would be phased – a blueprint of pragmatic innovation.

This week I have a wonderful interview to share with UK based, award winning producer and songwriter, Benjamin Wilson-Scott. Benjamin has worked with Indie heavyweights like Half Moon Run, Shura, Benjamin Francis-Leftwich, Fickle Friends, Jon Bryant and many more.  In our interview we chatted about Benjamin's approach to starting a fresh production and nailing the artist's vision, his approach to social media and his recent journey converting a derelict garage, into a purpose built production and songwriting space.

We are joined again by Benjamin Wilson to discuss what it is like to teach Economics from a heterodox Modern Monetary Theory perspective in 2023. Wilson is associate professor and recently-minted chair of the department of Economics at SUNY, Cortland. In previous episodes, we have chatted with Wilson about his research, the Uni Currency project, and his innovative work experimenting with classroom currencies. Developing these topics further, our conversation this time explores the potentials and dangers of using neoclassical textbooks in the heterodox classroom; the utility of classroom currencies for Econ classes of all levels; the place of narrative in neoclassical and heterodox theory; and so much more. Our dialog with Wilson is shaped in several respects by our conversation with Larry Johnson in last month's episode of Money on the Left.

Benjamin Wilson and Scott Ferguson join guest-host Jakob Feinig to discuss their forthcoming article about Money on the Left's “uni” project to democratize university finance. Titled “Stop Trying to Find the Money–Create It!,” the article argues that the Public Banking Act can empower universities to issue new forms of public money that serve democratic communities and repudiate austerity. The text will appear mid-October 2022 in the American Association of University Professors' publication Academe Magazine as part of a special issue edited by Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education. In this conversation, Ben and Scott recount the evolution of the uni project from its original politicization of emergency Federal Reserve facilities early in the Covid-19 pandemic to its most recent iteration joining bottom up learning-by-doing with top-down federal legislation. Along the way, the conversation turns toward the project's commitments to democratic pedagogy through participation, the need to recognize universities as powerful economic provisioners and anchors, and the uni's role in challenging the current dollar system from within.  *Special thanks to Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education for inviting Money on the Left to collaborate and for inviting us to contribute to their issue for Academe Magazine. Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

In the uneasy peace between the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War, Britain set about securing its growing imperial power. Central to it was its position in North America, as many visionaries saw, not least the then committed supporter of the Empire, Benjamin Franklin, in Pennsylvania. But that meant dealing with the French stranglehold around the British Colonies in what is now the United States. Three attempts, first manned and led by Americans (George Washington's first and defeated command), and then directed by Brits (to no better success), all failed spectacularly, demonstrating nothing so much as the incompetence of the British military whether colonial or from the mother country. On the other hand, British force did well in another appalling and shameful act of ethnic cleansing, very much in the spirit of the Duke of Cumberland's actions towards the Scottish Highlanders, up in Nova Scotia, present-day Canada.

¡¡Vaya celebración del Día del Libro!! Hemos estado muy alejados los unos de los otros en Menudo Castillo, pero poco a poco empezamos a vernos cara a cara (eso sí, con mascarillas, claro) y a regalarnos programas en todo tipo. Para celebrar el Día del Libro de 2021 nos fuimos al Centro Cultural El Corralizo de Colmenar del Arroyo para regalaros (y regalarnos) un programa ENORME. Empezamos charlando con Eva y Araceli, de la revista digital "El pequeño espectador", un proyecto estupendo para criticar con seriedad todo tipo de espectáculos infantiles y familiares, con un grupo de expertos realmente espectacular. Después recibimos a nuestra amiga Beatriz Osés, que nos presentó al bueno de Benjamin Wilson, que acaba de protagonizar su primera aventura en un colegio muy poco agradable. Y para terminar tuvimos con nosotros a Manuel y a Cristina, del CEA El Águila, con quienes charlamos de libros de animales, plantas, ecología y mucho mucho más. ¿Ya lo habéis escuchado? Con niñas y niños de nuestro taller de Colmenar del Arroyo y de Navas del Rey.

Last time we reviewed six unitarian Bible translations, covering some basic information about where each came from and their overall strategy for translation. Today, we’re going to analyze how they translate three key texts, including Philippians 2.6, John 1.1-3, and John 8.58. Our goal is to measure these translations against what the Greek says as Read more about 355 Unitarian Bible Translations 2 (Jerry Wierwille)[…]

In our last episode, I recommended some mainstream Christian Bible translations, but I would remiss if I didn’t also review some important unitarian Bible translations.  Although often overlooked, these versions are important because they have the opposite bias when it comes to passages commonly offered as proof texts for the Trinity.  Also, I asked Dr. Read more about 354 Unitarian Bible Translations 1 (Jerry Wierwille)[…]

Jessica Vaughn and Kin Cook speak to Scott Ferguson and Benjamin Wilson to discuss the Federal Reserve’s new “Municipal Liquidity Facility” (MLF) and how it can help Hillsborough County & Hillsborough County schools during the present current budget crisis

Benji Wilson (Class of 2010) got into a US College in New York to play basketball, but soon dropped out and moved to Brazil with his five best friends. He started an online eCommerce store to support himself and learnt a lot of lessons in life and business along the way.  Since then, he has lived in 8 different countries In the last 8 years and scaled his businesses to over seven figures. In between this, he also managed time for an appearance on Australia Survivor: Champions VS Contenders. In this episode, we speak about: Memories from MHS, and the different approach of coming in as a Year 11 Resisting the myth of the silver bullet - how having the right attitude and work ethic is far more important than finding a shortcut Trade-offs between short-term happiness and long-term satisfaction, and getting an understanding of 'second order consequences' Starting online businesses when he was 14, selling Play Station Portable memory cards on eBay How to 'limit the downside' to make any big decisions far less risky Trying a lot of different approaches until you find something that works, knowing that most will fail Being ahead of the curve - early twitter influencer, early on Amazon self publishing, early on Fulfilment By Amazon, early on making online courses. Spotting the next trend and riding the wave, but also knowing when to get off and start looking for the next one. Picking the right network and the correct people to learn from, being analytical and skeptical when you see an online 'guru' trying to pitch you on the next get rich quick scheme Being a Contender on Australian Survivor Season 3 Check out some of Benji's online courses here: https://www.udemy.com/user/benjaminwilson/  For any questions relating to the MHSOBA podcast, please contact Adam Ashton at podcast@mhsoba.asn.au

Economist Benjamin Wilson joins Money on the Left to discuss heterodox approaches to place, participation, and the politics of university finance. Associate professor of economics at SUNY Cortland, Wilson received his interdisciplinary Ph.D. from University of Missouri, Kansas City (UMKC), where he took courses with some of the leading lights of heterodox economic theory, including Stephanie Kelton, Mathew Forstater, and Fred Lee. In both his research and his pedagogy, Ben combines his commitment to local democratic participation with a deep, MMT-driven understanding of social provisioning to create some of the most compelling community currency projects ongoing today. We chat at length with Ben about the intellectual, historical, and practical frameworks for these projects, which intervene in spaces ranging from the college classroom to the state and regional levels. We also talk with Ben about our collectively authored #Unis4All university currency project, which derives from many of the principles of Wilson's previous work to argue that college and university systems ought to leverage their considerable provisioning capacities in order to reject austerity and provide for the health and welfare of all in their communities. You can read more about this proposal on Monthly Review Online and at Public Seminar.Check out some of Wilson's important papers:"An Interdisciplinary Narrative: Oncology, Capital & Solidarity," American Review of Political Economy, 2018. "A Dirigisme Approach to a Monetary Policy Jobs Guarantee and the Green New Deal," Available at SSRN, 2019."Housing, Health & History: Interdisciplinary Spatial Analysis in Pursuit of Equity for Future Generations," Intergenerational Responsibility in the 21st Century, 2018.Theme music by Hillbilly Motobike.* Thanks to the Money on the Left production team: Alex Williams (audio engineering), Richard Farrell (transcription) & Meghan Saas (graphic art).

Welcome to the very first episode of the very first season of Between Two Unicorns, the Official Podcast of the Melbourne High School Old Boys Association. This is the trailer for the first ever season of this podcast, where each week we'll bring you a conversation Between Two Unicorns.  Each episode is an interview with a legendary Melbourne High School Old Boy. We'll unpack some of their fondest memories from Melbourne High, some lessons that have stuck with them from high school, then follow them along their career journey and pick out some advice that they would give to other Old Boys. Right now, the current Covid-19 pandemic is having big impacts around the world. We're thinking of anyone who has been significantly impacted by this, either on a career level, a business level or a personal level.  My name is Adam Ashton. A graduate of the Class of 2010, I floated the idea of an MHSOBA podcast at the end of 2019. I began powering ahead with interviews, until the coronavirus put the world on hold. I had five great conversations with five great Old Boys, and since there are no events happening at the moment, wanted to share these with you now. This represents 'Season 1' of the MHSOBA podcast. Over the next 5 weeks, I'll be bringing you conversations from:  - John Tasioulas (Class of 1982)  - Ashton Pereira (2010)  - Charles Macek (1964)  - Benjamin Wilson (2010)  - Wayne Chow (1994)   I hope you enjoy Season 1 of 'Between Two Unicorns' and that you learn a thing or two from some legendary Old Boys.    If you want to get in touch, please email Adam Ashton at podcast@mhsoba.asn.au  All the best to you and yours. The first two episodes are ready to listen to right now, with more coming each week.

Amy Leach is a theatre director and Associate Director at Leeds Playhouse, currently working on a new version of Oliver Twist. This new adaption is by Bryony Lavery, and it’s being staged by Leeds Playhouse in collaboration with the Ramps on the Moon consortium, a partnership between six National Portfolio Organisation theatres and Graeae Theatre. Ramps on the Moon aims to create change within the UK theatre industry in terms of the inclusion and integration of deaf and disabled audiences and theatre-makers. Benjamin Wilson is one of Ramps on the Moon’s Agents for Change. He’s a cast member in this latest production, and has had a key role in developing creative approaches to audio description for this and a number of other shows he’s worked on at Leeds Playhouse and Sheffield Theatres. Amy and Ben joined Mark Smith towards the end of their rehearsal period to discuss the Ramps on the Moon initiative, the opportunities opened up by creative approaches to access for D/deaf and visually impaired audiences and performers, and the reasons behind Amy’s choice of Dickens’s work for her latest project. Oliver Twist plays Leeds Playhouse’s Quarry Theatre from 28 February to 21 March 2020, ahead of a UK tour to Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Nottingham Playhouse, Sheffield Theatres, New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich and Theatre Royal Stratford East, which are all part of the Ramps on the Moon consortium alongside Graeae, the UK’s leading disabled-led theatre company.

At 35 Benjamin Wilson appeared to have it all.  A financial trading maestro he was the local boy made good, living in a £4 million mansion in Sandbanks and able to spend most of his time on the golf course. However, this was all a facade.  His world came crashing down when it became clear that he was in fact running a classic ponzi fraud.  Although on a much lesser scale than Stanford and Madoff, this financial crime caused devastation in his local community as some victims of the crime lost everything they had worked for all their lives. Now serving time in prison, this podcast tells the story of Benjamin Wilson.
