Did you know that since 1975 a staggering $50 trillion has been diverted from the paychecks of working Americans to the pockets of the wealthiest 1%? That shocking number was discovered in a groundbreaking study done by the RAND Corporation that finally put a price tag on the massive inequality we've seen in America over the last 40 years. This episode was originally released in September 2020. Carter C. Price is a senior mathematician at the RAND Corporation.

How do you introduce Noam Chomsky? Perhaps you start here: In 1979, The New York Times called him “arguably the most important intellectual alive today.” More than 40 years later, Chomsky, at 92, is still putting his dent in the world — writing books, giving interviews, changing minds.There are different sides to Chomsky. He's a world-renowned linguist who revolutionized his field. He's a political theorist who's been a sharp critic of American foreign policy for decades. He's an anarchist who believes in a radically different way of ordering society. He's a pragmatist who pushed leftists to vote for Joe Biden in 2020 and has described himself as having a “rather conservative attitude towards social change.” He is, very much, himself.The problem in planning a conversation with Chomsky is how to get at all these different sides. So this one, from April 2021, covers a lot of ground. We discuss:— Why Chomsky is an anarchist, and how he defines anarchism— How his work on language informs his idea of what human beings want— The role of advertising in capitalism— Whether we should understand job contracts as the free market at work or a form of constant coercion— How Chomsky's ideal vision of society differs from Nordic social democracy— How Chomsky's class-based theory of politics holds up in an era where college-educated suburbanites are moving left on economics— Chomsky's view of the climate crisis and why he thinks the “degrowth” movement is misguided— Whether job automation could actually be a good thing for human flourishing— Chomsky's views on US-China policy, and why he doesn't think China is a major geopolitical threat— The likelihood of nuclear war in the next decadeAnd much more. Mentioned in this episode: On Anarchism by Noam Chomsky Climate Crisis and the Global Green New Deal by Noam Chomsky and Robert Pollin “Why the Amazon Workers Never Stood a Chance” by Erik Loomis “Trends in Income From 1975 to 2018” by Carter C.

'If This Task Was Urgent Before, It's Crucial Now.' U.N. Says World Has 10 Months to Get Serious on Climate Goals - source "So far, the plans all coming up short. The report shows that while the majority of the 75 nations that have submitted NDCs increased their individual commitments, their combined impact puts them on a path to achieve only a 1% reduction in global emissions by 2030, compared to the 45% reduction needed to hit the 1.5°C temperature goal. “This report shows that current levels of climate ambition are very far from putting us on a pathway that will meet our Paris Agreement goals,” said Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change. “While we acknowledge the recent political shift in momentum towards stronger climate action throughout the world, decisions to accelerate and broaden climate action everywhere must be taken now.”" The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%—since 1975 And That's Made the U.S. Less Secure - source "This is not some back-of-the-napkin approximation. According to a groundbreaking new working paper by Carter C. Price and Kathryn Edwards of the RAND Corporation, had the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone. That is an amount equal to nearly 12 percent of GDP—enough to more than double median income—enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month. Every month. Every single year." Nestlé under fire for marketing claims on baby milk formulas - source 1, source 2, source 3 "Exclusive: Report finds Swiss multinational is violating advertising codes and misleading consumers with nutritional claims. Obesity and diabetes show that better standards in the food industry must be enforced, writes Mike Muller, author of the 1974 baby milk scandal report." THESE 10 COMPANIES CONTROL EVERYTHING YOU BUY - source "These companies — Nestlé, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Associated British Foods, and Mondelez — each employ thousands and make billions of dollars in revenue every year. In an effort to push these companies to make positive changes — and for customers to realize who controls the brands they're buying" Boycott app - source US MUSIC FANS SPENT MORE ON VINYL THAN CD LAST YEAR SINCE 1986 - source Produced by The Wild 1 Media.

Yesterday, a groundbreaking study by the RAND Corporation put the first-ever price tag on how much income inequality costs American workers. The bill? $50 trillion. You read that right: $50 trillion has been diverted from working Americans to the wealthiest 1% since 1975. To make sense of this staggering number, Nick and Goldy are joined by mathematician Carter Price, the study’s co-author.  Carter C.
