I, Coffee: The Capitalist Miracle Behind Your Morning CupI am the cup of coffee warming your hands right now. A simple drink with a story no government could brew. My journey from a cherry on a tree to your morning ritual is a testament to freedom, ambition, and human ingenuity.I exist not because of a single plan by a government or business but because of countless decisions, risks, and exchanges made by individuals and companies.I am the child of voluntary trade, fierce competition, and the pursuit of profit, all working without a master plan. These forces grow me, move me, roast me, and deliver me to you.No single person could make me from start to finish, yet billions of cups like me are made every day.Private ownership gives rise to ambitionI began as a cherry on a small farm in Costa Rica, grown by Manuel. Because he owns the land, he has reason to think long-term, studying prices, testing new methods, and planting varieties that take years to bear fruit. He's not just farming for today; he's betting on tomorrow. That's what capitalism rewards: patience, planning, and the courage to take risks.Manuel's commitment to tomorrow propels his green coffee bean across borders, where profit and competition transform local harvests into global goods.Profit connects personal effort to progressOnce picked, my journey begins from fruit to finished drink. I pass through the hands of workers and businesses, each driven by their own needs. No one is in it for love. They're in it for a paycheck. And that's precisely the point. The drive to earn a living keeps the whole system in motion.Profit isn't greed; it's survival. Prices tell people what is scarce and wanted; markets change direction overnight. To survive, you adapt. To win, you innovate. That's how competition works; it's the quiet engine pushing new ideas forward. In capitalism, you don't get to stand still. Evolve, and you'll thrive. Stay stuck, and you'll disappear.Trade works without central controlAs I leave the processing facility, my journey goes global. I cross oceans and borders. The people along the way live in different countries, speak different languages, follow different beliefs, and may even hate each other, yet they still cooperate. Peace is the quiet miracle of capitalism. The market's invisible hand turns individual pursuits into shared progress.Each region plays to its strengths. Manuel grows coffee in Costa Rica. Luigi builds espresso machines in Italy. They've never met, but through trade, they both win. By trading rather than trying to do everything alone, both end up better off.Consumers determine what survivesAt the roasting factory, experts dial in flavor. The process begins with precise heat control, powered by machines and fuels from distant places. Roasters adjust their methods to meet customer expectations because you, the consumer, decide who wins.I don't exist by chance. Every choice, a dark roast or a decaf, oat milk or cream, sends a signal. You're the boss here. I'm shaped by what you sip. That's why quality matters. Even minor errors lead to waste, lost sales, and the risk of being replaced by someone who gets it right.Every job contributes to final valueEach role, from warehouse staff to maintenance teams, shapes the outcome. The technician who calibrates the roaster's heat, the quality inspector who catches defects, and the logistics coordinator who ensures delivery affect how I taste in the end.In this system, no task is too small. A green coffee warehouse worker in Indonesia who rotates inventory properly helps ensure I arrive fresh in Denver. One mistake and a competitor gets the next order.Specialization turns effort into excellenceAt the café, baristas add their expertise,...

Can a coffee company become a force for human dignity, equity, and global transformation?Bob and Michelle Fish of Biggby Coffee share how they turned a moment of internal reckoning into a bold reimagining of their entire business. What began as a thriving franchise built on smiles and slogans took a sharp turn when they realized that their “happy culture” lacked depth—and impact. That wake-up call led them to embrace conscious capitalism as a way of doing business with integrity. Bob and Michelle walk us through the evolution of their mission—from chasing growth to centering relationships, purpose, and long-term value for everyone in their ecosystem.They dive into the creation of their Farm Direct model, a powerful shift designed to eliminate exploitation in the coffee trade and connect more meaningfully with farmers on the ground. Along the way, they reflect on how their international perspectives helped shape a leadership style that honors both local communities and global interdependence.If you're curious about what it truly means to lead with purpose, rewrite your company's story, and stay accountable to every stakeholder along the way—this episode is for you.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

For Paul Rice, ethical business isn't just an ideal—it's a movement that reshapes industries, empowers farmers, and transforms global supply chains. As the founder of Fair Trade USA, he has spent decades championing conscious consumerism, proving that profit and purpose can go hand in hand.In this episode, Paul takes us on a journey through the origins of Fair Trade USA, sharing his firsthand experiences in Nicaragua that shaped his vision. He explores the philosophy and certification process behind Fair Trade, the complexities of working with major corporations like Starbucks, and the crucial role of consumer awareness in driving sustainable change.The conversation highlights the importance of long-term thinking in responsible business, the challenges of scaling ethical sourcing, and how conscious capitalism can help businesses align with values-driven consumers.

In this episode, I discussed how Capitalism came into being, broadly, and how this process and its contradictions have led us to where we are today. I speak generally about how Feudalism was thrown into the dustbin of history through the collective action of the poor in alliance with the newly forming Capitalist class, and how this class of exploiters took advantage of the people's will to seize power for themselves. We discuss the movement towards Capitalism, the transition from "Free Market Capitalism" to Imperialism, how Imperialism, monopolies, and crises are a part of Capitalism's natural development, and how this intrinsic logic led us to today. In the next episode I intend to go deeper into the last 80-100 years to show how history doesn't exactly "repeat itself" but rather, comes in echoes. All Power to the People!

For Elina Teboul, leadership isn't just about strategy—it's about embracing the full spectrum of human intelligence to drive innovation, build psychological safety, and foster inclusive workplaces. In her new book, Feminine Intelligence, she reveals how integrating both feminine and masculine traits can unlock creativity, enhance decision-making, and create more resilient business leaders.She dives into the resistance to feminine intelligence, the historical roots of gendered leadership styles, and why balancing these energies is crucial for navigating uncertainty in today's fast-changing world. Teboul also explores the power of conscious leadership—leaders who can manage fear, inspire collaboration, and cultivate high-performing teams.Beyond leadership, she shares insights into how psychedelic-assisted therapies can deepen self-awareness and healing, leading to more authentic and effective leadership. **If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

As the world shifts and alliances evolve, could a partnership between Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK form a Fourth Global Power? While CANZUK wouldn't rival the US militarily, its collective strength would command the kind of respect that Washington—especially under leaders like Trump—reserves for serious players. With global instability on the rise, the economist Andrew Lilico asks whether it's time to make this alliance official.

Episode 327 of RevolutionZ takes up the question, can  nine different post-capitalist economic visions find common ground in a single unifying framework? Rather than viewing Mainstream Marxist Economy, Councilist Marxist Economy, Anarchist Economy, Solidarity Economy, Green Economy, Degrowth Economy, Feminist Economy, Intercommunalist Economy, and Anti-authoritarian Economy as competing frameworks, what if we highlight   their essential virtues to identify  areas of compatibility?At the heart of this unification project lies Participatory Economics—a vision featuring a productive commons instead of private ownership, self-managing councils intest of top down authority, balanced job complexes instead of a corporate division of labor, equitable remuneration instead of profit seeking exploitation, and participatory planning instead of markets or central planning. Can this tenth perspective  satisfy the core demands of the nine other approaches while violating none of their essential principles?Each perspective contributes vital elements to a comprehensive economic vision: from eliminating capitalist class domination and preventing coordinator class rule to ensuring environmental sustainability, fostering solidarity, and preventing systemic disadvantages based on identity or community. What emerges is a synthesis that strengthens rather than dilutes each perspective's most valuable insights.For activists and thinkers seeking both a defensive strategy against authoritarian capitalism and a positive vision ultimately win, does this synthesis offer a promising path forward? Can the left unite behind a shared economic vision that honors its diverse traditions while providing practical, revolutionary alternatives? That is our focus and challenge this episode.Support the show

We often associate Ramadan with seeking closeness to God, which is its aim. A believer abstains from food and drink in the daylight hours to commit themselves to Allah. We draw closer to him through worships and good deeds and this is a month of charity. Muslims give more in this month than any other time in the year, hoping that our sincerity reaches Allah and in the process he overlooks our failings.But in many ways Ramadan stands as a denunciation of capitalism, the insatiable wants, greed, selfishness and gluttony. It teaches us to focus on what is important – family, ummah, justice and of course our own salvation. This is the argument of Imam Tom Facchine, who joins us today.

What does it take to build over 50 companies while staying true to purpose-driven business principles?For Matthew O'Hayer, entrepreneurship isn't just about business success—it's about passion, purpose, and making a meaningful impact. Matt shares how a simple observation on his farm—watching free-range chickens thrive—led to the creation of a company that prioritizes humane treatment, ethical sourcing, and superior-quality eggs at Vital Farms. He dives into the challenges of scaling a purpose-driven business, the importance of trust with stakeholders, and how conscious capitalism has shaped his approach to leadership. Beyond business, Matt opens up about his diverse interests, from sailing to flying, and the mindset that fuels his entrepreneurial drive. The conversation also touches on the future of food, conscious consumerism, and what it takes to build a lasting, impact-driven company.**If you enjoy this podcast, would you consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

A History of Capitalist Transformation: A Critique of Liberal-Capitalist Reforms highlights how, since the recent financial crises, the expression ‘liberal reform' has entered common parlance as an evocative image of austerity and economic malaise, especially for the working classes and a segment of the middle class. But what exactly does ‘liberal reform' refer to? The research analyzes the historical origins of liberal-capitalist reformism using a critical approach, starting with the origins of the Industrial Revolution. The book demonstrates that the chief purpose of such reforms was to integrate semi-peripheral states into the capitalist world-economy by imposing, both directly and indirectly, the adoption of rules, institutions, attitudes, and procedures amenable to economic and political interests of capitalist élites and hegemonic states – Britain first, the United States later – between the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. As such, the reforms became an active tool used to promote social-economical-financial institutions, norms, and lifestyles typical of a liberal-capitalist economic order which locates some of its founding values in capital accumulation, profit-seeking, and social transformation. This book will be of significant interest to readers on capitalism, political economy, the history of the global economy, and British history. Giampaolo Conte is Assistant Professor in Economic History at University of Roma Tre, Italy. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Today host Lisa Dettmer spends the hour talking to Professor Lida Maxwell,  the author of the new book out by Stanford press called “ Rachel Carson and the Power of Queer love.” Rachel Carson, for those of you who may not know, is considered one of the progenitors of the mainstream environmental movement who garnered major public attention in 1964 with her best selling book “Silent Spring.”  But Lida Maxwell argues that Rachel Carson was not only a brilliant inspiring writer and lover of nature but a queer woman whose love of nature and great love with Dorothy Freedman was a model of how we can move beyond consumptive straight Capitalist desire to a relational horizontal co-creative love and wonder, a love  of both human and non-human life, a Queer love. Maxwell sees Carson's horizontal non domineering love of nature not unlike the indigenous respect for all life that now informs much of our current environmental movement.  And she asks Can this love of human and non-human life serve as a basis of our political movement that is based not on fear or a  love that is  anthropomorphic,  individualistic,  a commodified love  but on a real love, an infinite love, based on mutuality and respect and a  queer joy.  And, she argues, this model of love can help us remember that our intimate lives matter in how we live and create our vision of the world we want to see.     Lida Maxwell is the Associate Professor of Political Science and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Boston University. She is the author of Insurgent “Truth and Public Trials: Burke, Zola, Arendt  the Politics of Lost Causes,” and “For Chelsea Manning, Coming Out and Whistleblowing Were Deeply Linked”   The post Rachel Carson- Queer Love with Lida Maxwell appeared first on KPFA.

"PREVIEW: Professor Sean McMeekin, author of 'Stalin's War,' explains that Stalin's strategy was to promote chaos, hoping capitalist powers - the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Italy, and even Japan - would destroy themselves while he seized territory. More later." 1945

What is capitalism?It's not efficient markets, factories, and free labor.It's the financialization of empire and slavery, using greed, shame, indignation, and debt.

to those challenging the idea of a private market for security would have to be: what about you? What would your reaction be? Does your fear of outlaw companies mean that you would then go out and engage in trade with a security producer that aggressed against other people and their property, and would you continue supporting it if it did?

Economists in the Cold War: How a Handful of Economists Fought the Battle of Ideas (Oxford UP, 2023) is an account of the economic drivers and outcomes of the Cold War, told through the stories of seven international economists, who were all closely involved in theory and policy in the period 1945-73. For them, the Cold War was a battle of economic ideas, a fight between central planning and market allocation, exploring economic thinking derived from the battle between Marxist and Capitalist ideologies, a fundamental difference but with many intricacies. The book recounts how economic theory advanced, how new economic tools were developed, and how policies were tested. Each chapter is based on the involvement of one of the selected economists. It was a challenging but dangerous time in economics: a time of economic recovery post-war, with industrial rebuilding, economic growth, and rising incomes. But it was also a time of ideological warfare, nuclear rivalry, military expansion, and personal conflict. The narrative is approximately chronological, ranging from the Potsdam Conference in Germany to the Pinochet Coup in Chile. The selected economists include an American, a Pole, a Hungarian, a German, a British, a Japanese, and an Argentinian, all very different economists, but with interconnections among them. Each chapter also features a dissenting economist who held a contrasting view, and recounts the subsequent economic arguments that played out. Alan Bollard is a Professor of Economics at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. He formerly managed APEC, the largest regional economic integration organization in the world, and was previously the New Zealand Reserve Bank Governor, Secretary of the New Zealand Treasury, and Chairman of the New Zealand Commerce Commission. Professor Bollard is the author of Crisis: One Central Bank Governor and the Global Financial Crisis (Auckland University Press, 2013) and A Few Hares to Chase: The Life and Economics of Bill Philips (Oxford University Press, 2016). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Eric shares a raw and unfiltered perspective on the challenges of aligning one's work with personal values, especially for those with families. Reacting to a video from a content creator guru, the host criticizes the popular narrative of turning down financial opportunities for emotional alignment and argues that many people don't have the luxury to do so.  The rant covers burnout, the pressures of hustle culture, and the reality that most people do jobs they don't entirely like just to make ends meet. While some people can afford to make decisions based on emotional fulfillment, most of us are just trying to provide for our families and get through life's daily challenges.   From addressing hustle culture to the realities of burnout, this episode is a no-BS take on what it means to grind, make ends meet, and find balance without getting lost in the noise of unrealistic expectations. Eric's tackling the pressure of constant alignment and offering a perspective rooted in practicality, resilience, and hard work. Key Takeaways: Pragmatism over Perfection: Life and work won't always align perfectly, and that's okay. Focus on getting things done, even if it's not ideal. Say Yes to Opportunities: Don't let the idea of “perfect alignment” keep you from saying yes to good opportunities, even if they're not perfect. Manage Burnout Realistically: Everyone faces burnout, but the solution isn't always walking away. Find ways to manage stress and keep moving forward. Watch Out for Gurus: Be wary of advice that overemphasizes alignment or emotional fulfillment, especially when it's tied to selling courses or coaching services. Balance is Key: Work hard, take care of yourself, and look for ways to make life a little easier, but don't get lost chasing unattainable ideals. Keep Grinding: Progress is messy, and life is chaotic, but success comes from consistent effort and learning to manage the stress along the way.

On the 18th of November 1978, 909 men, women, and children were killed by chemical-laced Flav-Or-Aid in the Guyanese jungle, all at the will of one man - Jim Jones.

That's what everyone remembers.But despite the notorious “Jonestown Massacre” being forever etched into the public consciousness, few people know how almost 1000 people ended up living in the jungle, thinking they were fighting the Capitalist machine, whilst starving half to death, and following the words of a meth-addled maniac.This is the first part of their story.
