James Pierog is co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin Prediction Market, a new company back by Bitcoin startup accelerator Wolf, enabling bets on real-world events using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. We explore what a prediction market is, why Bitcoin is the perfect medium for this, and what new forms of crowd intelligence through prediction markets could mean in an increasingly complex world. Along the way we discuss the intersection of philosophy and mathematics, the wisdom of the crowd, AI, and the challenge of dealing with rapid change. --- Connect with The Transformation of Value X: https://x.com/TTOVpodcast Nostr at: npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu Or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you! --- Support The Transformation of Value: Bitcoin tip address: bc1qlfcr2v73tntt6wvyp2yu064egvyeery6xtwy8t Lightning tip address: codyellingham@fountain.fm If you send a tip please email or DM me so I can thank you! --- Credits: Music by Simon James French - https://www.simonjamesfrench.com/ --- Links: Bitcoin Prediction Market - https://www.bitcoinprediction.market/ James Pierog on X - https://x.com/BillyHongBeats Rory Sutherland - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIE6-xwv7_E The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future by Jeff Booth - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50157837-the-price-of-tomorrow Reality Boxes: And Other Black Holes in Human Consciousness by Ingo Swann - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27810694-reality-boxes-and-other-black-holes-in-human-consciousness Frederick Soddy's Debt Dynamics - https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2020/09/12/frederick-soddys-debt-dynamics/ Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6617037-debt The Blocksize War: The battle for control over Bitcoin's protocol rules by Jonathan Bier - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57429394-the-blocksize-war
REPEAT SHOW. David Graeber and David Wengrow are the co-authors of "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2021). "This is not a book. This is an intellectual feast. There is not a single chapter that does not (playfully) disrupt well-seated intellectual beliefs. It is deep, effortlessly iconoclastic, factually rigorous, and pleasurable to read." — Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Author, "The Black Swan." Tiokasin talks with co-author David Wengrow, a professor of comparative archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He is a visiting professor at New York University. He is the author of three books, including, "What Makes Civilization?" David has conducted archaeological fieldwork in various parts of Africa and the Middle East. Co-author David Graeber (d. 9/2/2020) was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. He was the author of "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" and "Bullshit Jobs: A Theory," and was a contributor to Harper's Magazine, The Guardian and The Baffler. An iconic thinker and renowned activist, his early efforts in Zuccotti Park made Occupy Wall Street an era-defining movement.

Andrew L. Wilson is an Author and Professor of History of Christianity as well as host of The Disentanglement Podcast, exploring privacy tech and the surveillance state. We discuss in detail severals books about the origin of the state and money, including James C Scott's, “Seeing Like A State”, Rees-Mogg and Davidson's “The Sovereign Individual”, and David Graeber's “Debt: The First 5,000 Years”. We discover some interesting parallels between the unconfiscatable nature of Bitcoin and the origins of state power with its ability to tax easily countable grain crops versus something like a potato which grows underground. We also talk about the history of the printing press as it relates to inflation within the church, and Andrew's personal proof of work undertaking a 1000-mile pilgrimage in the footsteps of Martin Luther from Germany to Rome.

"I hope Bitcoin sticks around and grows more popular, but in its current form to most in #TradFi it is the opposite of SOUND MONEY, especially if it takes cult-like behavior to make it grow. It needs the STATE to force its use on everyone. That is what makes it MONEY." ~ Samantha LaDuc Today we dive into the enlightening twitter thread from financial analyst Samantha LaDuc on why Bitcoin cannot be and is not money, one of which is because money is enforced by the state, but that's only just the beginning. We witness another instance of the unfortunate confidence where people in finance mistakenly think that because they deal with money, and numbers, and charts, and P/E ratios, that this means they understand *money.* A very, very different discipline that is meaningful over far, far larger time horizons. So let's take a peak into this world view, and then in the spirit of debate... tear it apart. I think you'll enjoy this one

You owe this one a listen. In episode 94 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss everything debt, from student loans and bank bailouts to the importance of honoring one's intellectual forebears. Did Shakespeare's Antonio really pay Shylock with “a pound of flesh”? Why does Nietzsche say that the Christian God is a creditor of infinite debt? Who really benefits from bailouts under capitalism today? And might it be time to bring back good old “jubilees,” i.e., sanctioned acts of collective debt cancellation? As they talk through these questions, your hosts explore how debt has structured social, family, and religious bonds across history, from Vedic India, to Plato's Athens, and how the notion of being “indebted” to one's cultural past conditions the experience of immigrants in America today.Check out the episode's extended cut here!Works DiscussedLauren Berlant, Cruel OptimismJeffery R.

Today Jason welcomes the ‘mad scientist of multifamily' Neal Bawa of Grocapitus investments. They talk about how demography affects real estate, where the housing market is and where it might be headed and the factors affecting your investments. Neal is a technologist who is universally known in the real estate circles as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily. Besides being one of the most in-demand speakers in commercial real estate, Neal is a data guru, a process freak, and an outsourcing expert. Neal treats his $1+ billion-dollar multifamily portfolio as an ongoing experiment in efficiency and optimization. The Mad Scientist lives by two mantras. His first mantra is that: We can only manage what we can measure. His second mantra is that: Data beats gut feel by a million miles. These mantras and a dozen other disruptive beliefs drive profit for his 800+ investors.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Please take this survey on podcasting in higher education: www.freshedpodcast.com/survey -- In this Flux episode, Yardain Amron crafts a narrative that shows complex theories in action. He doesn't simply tell his listeners what these ideas are or name them explicitly. He takes us to disparate places–from universities in India and Puerto Rico to Occupy Wall Street–and makes a connection between them by embedding stories within stories. Through this nested narrative, he shows us how the streets are schools by exploring spaces of activism as educative sites, while leading us to the core idea at the heart of this episode: the relationship between debt and violence. Yardain Amron is a freelance journalist and master's student in Geography at the University of British Columbia. https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-amron/ Credits: Today's episode was created, written, produced, and edited by Yardain Amron. Johannah Fahey was the executive producer and Brett Lashua and Will Brehm were the producers. Flux theme music was composed by Joseph Minadeo of Pattern Based music.

Jared, Oriana and Ned discuss Jared's choice of topic: Sir Orfeo. The Orpheus myth is one of the most mysterious ones in the open-ended collection of tales that make up what is termed ‘Greek mythology,' something that Tolkien would have learned about by default as part of his standard late Victorian/Edwardian education. But his particular exploration of that myth wasn't via one of those texts, but a translation of a Middle English poem by an anonymous author, itself based on a Breton source, that fused elements of the most famous Orpheus story – trying to win back the love of his life from the land of the dead – with elements of Celtic faery and myth as well as recent English history. Yet Tolkien's work is one of his most mysterious efforts in turn, first presented by Christopher Tolkien along with the translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, but, as the younger Tolkien explained, unaccompanied by any notes, introductory paragraphs or even an exact date of creation to determine what inspired him to make the translation or for what purpose it might have been intended. Can more be said about how old and familiar myths get reset and recontextualized across human history, reflecting the situations and biases of their times? Is there anything about the poem or the translation that stands out as uniquely or distinctly Tolkienian based on his other work? What about the land of the dead makes it such an unusual place all around, especially considering the fates of those who are there? And drawing on our separate news discussion about the continuing WGA strike and its impact on The Rings of Power season 2, how complicated is it to shoot a TV show anyway? (It's very complicated.)SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle. Harps do have power in the right hands.Support the WGA strike! It'll help Oriana among many others.

Bullshit jobs, Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value, Debt: The First 5000 Years: the titles of some of David Graeber's books give a sense of his take on the world and his concerns. Matthew Sweet talks with archaeologist David Wengrow - co-author with Graeber of The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity and looks at Graeber's involvement with the Occupy movement and the influence of anarchist ideas. They are joined by historian of ideas Dr Sophie Scott-Brown, and by Kirsten Stevens-Wood, a lecturer for the School of Education and Social Policy at Cardiff Metropolitan University who studies communal living and intentional communities. Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia by David Graeber has been published posthumously in 2023. Producer: Luke Mulhall
In today's episode of Category Visionaries, we speak with Shamir Karkal, CEO of Sila, a money API platform that's raised over $20 Million in funding, about why their innovative fintech development platform is helping to usher in a more diverse future of payments for everyone, and how supporting market disruptors ultimately builds a stronger and more resilient finance sector. Providing developers with the tools they need to build financial applications to handle everything from virtual bank accounts and digital wallets to wire transfers and identity verification, Sila's mission is to make it easier for everyone to innovate and program with their money. We also speak about why Shamir's frustration with the ‘big bank' lifestyle led him to found a succession of fintech startups, how Sila define their customer problem statement for customers with a wide range of problems to solve, the strengths and weaknesses of traditional banks versus disruptors in the finance space, and a global history of finance and payments, from yap stones to the federal reserve. Topics Discussed: Shamir's career in the finance space, and why ‘big bank' burnout took him to the fintech startup sector The challenges facing fintech developers in building functional, effective apps to solve contemporary financial problems Why established banks and fintech disruptors service different needs in the market, and why that diversity is ultimately a good thing How finance has developed over thousands of years through a whole range of technologies, but why the basic problem statement remains the same as ever The federal reserve and the history of the American monetary system, what differentiates it from the European approach to finance Legacy payment systems, from stones to bank notes, and why they aren't likely to disappear entirely any time soon Favorite book: Debt: The First 5000 Years

Financial Services is all about Finance which is all about money. However almost all FS employees just accept “money” as a thing in the same way they accept gravity. Which is an odd thing if you think about it. Most of the time this wouldn't matter but at turning points such as we are at now if can be disastrous, What money is and the regimes around it have varied widely over time and space. However it is true to say that Central Banks are a total exception – indeed the ne plus ultra of Big State Centralism (which is leading to so many problems). Most FS-savvy folk know that a dollar when the Fed was created in 1913 is worth a few cents now – not a great testimony to the performance of an institution whose job is to “protect” the dollar. Few appreciate the intimate connection between monetary collapse and societal collapse. Examples however are legion with perhaps the best known being Rome (see what I did there re legion? :-D) , Revolutionary France or the Weimar Republic. As the fallout from those were respectively a civilisational collapse in the West that literally took centuries to recover from and two brutal dictatorships we would be well advised to pay attention to this otherwise recherché topic. Central Banks are profoundly antidemocratic and as we saw in 2008 in the US and the UK chose – unlike Iceland – to bankrupt their people in order to preserve the wealth of banks and bankers bonuses. Prima facie they seem to correlate to the greatest frequency of wars ever, higher inflation and government spending and a de facto tax on savers and the elderly. At a minimum there is a difficult charge sheet for them to address. Mario who runs the highly successful YouTube Channel maneco64 is a long term student of the history and current practice of monetary policy as well as like me decades ago having worked successfully in the City without having any real understanding of money per se. Mario joined us a year ago in LFP197 to discuss “Money in the 21stC: Ballooning Printing of Fiat/QE/”MMT”/Govt Debt, CBDCs, Crypto, Dedollarisation, Hyperinflation, Gold”. In this episode: Mario updates us on what has happened over the past year re money and multipolarity and where this is all going we dive into an assessment of – simply put whether Central Banks Are A Good Thing Mario outlines what he would do to rebuild society and money if in a parallel universe he was Governor of the Bank of England or indeed if western money and societies collapse and need to be rebuilt Mario looks forward to how Gold is becoming more important in a multipolar World. Central Bank buying of Gold was at its highest level in 2022 since 1967 and China has started releasing its monthly purchases thereof Topics discussed include: Skiing this year in Switzerland the moves in China re money, gold, exchanges over the past year multipolarity growing rapidly – Xi's visit to Saudi Arabia comparisons of the UK losing global dominance of sterling and the US and the dollar right now the catastrophic impact – even to the US – of its freezing of Russian Central Bank reserves in 2023 – a jumping the shark if there ever was one (even in WW2 the Reichsbank Reserves were not frozen…) A thousand years inflation in England and the huge correlation between inflation and war and having Central Banks who controls the Central Banks? The fact that opinions differ widely in itself is a great pointer to a democratic deficit Central Banks and permanent war cf sound money, small government, no wars, peace permacrisis allows ever-more land-grabs by the State the median wage of the bottom 10% in the UK is lower than in Slovakia drilling in to the phrase Central Banks – the Bank of England's role has eg varied hugely since its formation in 1694 – there are many possible roles of a Central Bank the fractional reserve and creating money out of thin air existed vestigially from the start “lumbering the debt from the monarch to the people” – prior to the BoE the monarch was personally responsible for war debts – the BoE was the start of a process of moving war debts from the accounts of the King who started them to the people who didn't monetary policy in Anglo Saxon England – shaving of coins and the role of Kings in producing standardised money William Cobbett (see below) who 200 years ago wrote of how having a Central Bank makes fighting wars much easier AHM Ramsey a critic of the BoE who wrote a critique forecasting doom from the possibility of Private Banks to create money out of thin air in an inverted pyramid the origin of the expression “pay through the nose” what is the opposite of having Central Banks?

It it a history of how Britain funded the war effort against Napoleon by increasing the national debt, suspending the use of gold, and using paper money. Cobbett also chronicles the economic hardships imposed on ordinary working people by the disruption of trade, war taxes, and inflation of the currency.

Clint Ballinger is an economic geographer, a path he followed in search of answers to what he calls fundamental questions of political economy. Why did the Industrial Revolution occur in England and western Europe? What is the reason for the radically uneven distribution—radically unequal material well-being—around the world? It exists not only between countries, but within countries. As listeners to this podcast know, economics departments aren't teaching this stuff.Modern economists take money out of the equation. How absurd is that?“You have incredibly complex mathematical models being developed all through the forties, fifties, sixties... but they don't discuss all the things about money that matter. Because as we learned in 2008, they didn't even have money or a banking system in their equations, basically. So that's a huge problem.…Regardless of how you get it, once you have some kind of basic monetary unit, everything that comes after that in a monetary production economy is what got ignored.”Steve and Clint talk about the history of money and David Graeber's book, Debt: The First 5000 Years. Debunking the “myth of barter” and understanding the history of money allows us to break through the misconceptions of money at the root of the misguided political stances that abound in our society. We can't fix what's broken without this clarity.Money is a token, not a commodity. Steve likens it to a concert ticket; the little square of cardboard has no intrinsic value. Yet not a single politician gets this right.Clint takes the discussion into property rights—not the rights of the rentier class, but the state's role in protecting an individual's resources.“We always have to get back to the real economy. That's always the fundamental thing. We make things—goods and services. People use those goods and services. Money per se, it's all accounts, accounts are always property rights. Every account in the world is a claim on real resources in some way. So that's why it gets back to the very basic ideas of property rights.”Much of this interview connects to topics covered in past episodes with Fadhel Kaboub and Rohan Grey, among others. Links can be found in the “Extras” section on our website, where you will also find a transcript of the episode. realprogressives.org/macro-n-cheese-podcast/Clint Ballinger got his MA in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he focused on modern uneven economic development and went on to specialize in the interpretation of global econometric data for his PhD in Geography at Cambridge University. His book, 1000 Castaways: Fundamentals of Economics, was published in 2019.@clintballinger on Twitter

We've often internalised a particularly destructive story about what it is to be human - that we're inherently selfish, grasping, and inevitably violent to one another. And that because of that we ought to live very warily indeed. But, as the writer David Graeber reminds us, the 'common-sense' story of what it is to be human is just one story out of many. And we are filled with many different kinds of qualities and capacities, some of which we choose to prioritise over others - and some of which we've practiced more than others. But which qualities we bring to the world is a choice - the unique gift of being sentient, choosing humans. And the real question is which qualities we choose take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilisation. This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

Here's our source for this week: “Freuchen tells how one day, after coming home hungry from an unsuccessful walrus-hunting expedition, he found one of the successful hunters dropping off several hundred pounds of meat. He thanked him profusely. The man objected indignantly: ‘Up in our country we are human!' said the hunter. ‘And since we are human we help each other. We don't like to hear anybody say thanks for that. What I get today you may get tomorrow. Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.' … The refusal to calculate credits and debits can be found throughout the anthropological literature on egalitarian hunting societies. Rather than seeing himself as human because he could make economic calculations, the hunter insisted that being truly human meant refusing to make such calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began “comparing power with power, measuring, calculating” and reducing each other to slaves or dogs through debt. It's not that he, like untold millions of similar egalitarian spirits throughout history, was unaware that humans have a propensity to calculate. If he wasn't aware of it, he could not have said what he did. Of course we have a propensity to calculate. We have all sorts of propensities. In any real-life situation, we have propensities that drive us in several different contradictory directions simultaneously. No one is more real than any other. The real question is which we take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilization.” ― David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years Photo by Darrell Chaddock on Unsplash
Talking about the heart as an organ system in critical care. Discussing the nature of debt with the book Debt: The First 5,000 years by the late Graeber.
For the 30th episode, Jonathan "fast forwards" to Part 2, Chapter 2 in order to discuss one of the most quoted sections of Atlas Shrugged, Francisco d'Anconia's Money Speech. The gist of the speech is that d'Anconia (and Rand) claims that money is not the root of evil, but the root of all good. In this longer episode, Jonathan delves into the logic Rand uses to support this claim and examines several underlying assumptions. This is the last of the three fast forward episodes on Francisco d'Anconia's Money Speech.For the video produced by the Bank of England about credit predating barter, click here. I first heard about this from David Graeber, in his book Debt: The First 5,000 Years.For an excellent discussion of the gold standard, see this debate produced by Marginal Revolution University, an initiative of George Mason University. You might also be curious to see this recent post by Stephanie Kelton, a chief proponent of Modern Monetary Theory, which criticizes conventional wisdom about inflation in 2022. Jonathan highly recommends Francis Fukuyama's books on the rule of law: The Origins of Political Order and Political Order and Political Decay.Some examples of sophisticated market economies, very much active in "making money," prior to 1500 C.E.: China and especially the Song Dynasty, the economic history of Japan, Italian city-states especially with the economic activity funded by the Medici Bank, and Kenn Hirth's book The Aztec economic world: merchants and markets in ancient Mesoamerica. To read more about Ricardo Semler's institution of workplace democracy at his large corporation in Brazil, read his book: Maverick.Jonathan mentions millenarianism and almost avoids pronouncing it as millionairism. Thanks for bearing with me on the LONG journey of this episode! The next fast forward episode will begin a discussion of the story of the 20th Century Motor Company in Chapter 10 of Part 2 (click here for the text of this passage).Questions or comments?

✨ DEBRIEF ✨ | Ryan & David's Unfiltered Thoughts on the Episode https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/116-ethan-debrief ----- Ethan Buchman is a fantastic human being, an Internet Biophysicist, Monetary Localist, and Co-Founder at Cosmos. In addition, he is President of the Interchain Foundation. Today, he comes on Bankless to tell us why we're wrong. This episode's dialectic explores the fate of the blockchain ecosystem—will we have a multi-chain sprawl of different protocols, or will we see a few chains with a power law distribution? We dive into the value of monetary premium, set against the opposing side of monetary clearing and velocity. And what does this all mean for security? The ultimate answer we seek is how to avoid turning the world into a dystopia. On either side of the tyranny spectrum lies anarchy and autocracy, so perhaps the answer rests somewhere in the middle. ------

I join with Geoff Shullenberger of "Outsider Theory" to discuss the sweeping and challenging new book, "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" by David Graeber and David Wengrow. We consider the book's marshalling of new archaeological evidence to debunk mechanistic and deterministic assumptions about the rise of civilization, its deep rejection of Marxism, and its insistence on the human ability to imagine and create an infinite range of social and political futures. We examine the weaknesses and limitations of the book, including its over-emphasis on personal freedom, its gross inaccuracy with regard to the eighteenth century, and its blindspot regarding the profound powers of myth, ritual, and the natural environment, all of which deeply guide and shape societies in ways that Graeber & Wengrow ignore or casually discount.

Warning: this episode gets pretty dark as we discuss violent colonialism in the Americas and slavery. The story of gold carries on with a lot of dead people and dead horses.

On episode 33 I talk with Shamir Karkal of Sila. Sila's mission is to accelerate the next generation of financial innovation. Shamir is certainly no stranger to the innovation space as he was one of the earliest pioneers in fintech with Simple. Sila is one of the companies helping to bridge fintech and web3. We talked a great deal about the evolution of fintech in the last 10 plus years. An entire ecosystem has been created since Simple first began, and now you have the beginnings of a new layer with web3. Change is now happening at a faster pace than any of us have seen before, the key for companies today is to be as nimble as possible. This brings me back to what Shamir is building with Sila through APIs. Companies can now adjust and change quickly. Shamir and I discuss fintech's evolution, the importance of clarity when it comes to regulation, centralized versus decentralized, raising capital, and a whole lot more. So without further ado, Shamir Karkal of Sila. I hope you all enjoy the show and be prepared to learn about: Shamir's journey from Simple to Sila The evolution of fintech Why the world needs platforms Sila is the oldest word that is connected to money What's behind the mission to accelerate the next generation of financial services Why fintech has yet to deliver on its promise Sila's current customer base The problem of outdated banking technology and how big of a barrier it is Bank tech, "it all sucks" Basic infrastructure and API awareness has gotten a lot better It took Simple 70 plus investors to raise their first seed round Crypto is not a unitary thing "Get good lawyers," scale will bring oversight Shamir recommends reading Electronic Value Exchange and Debt: The First 5,000 Years And much more...
David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years turned everything we think we know about money, debt and society on its head, and has, in the ten years since it was first published, become a modern classic. A new hardback edition, with introduction by distinguished economist Thomas Piketty, is published this year by Melville House. To mark the tenth anniversary of this groundbreaking international bestseller, Grace Blakeley, Owen Jones, Gillian Tett and Yanis Varoufakis came together to discuss Debt and explore the lasting implications that Graeber's arguments have for society, past, present and future.

There have only ever been three types of monetary systems in history. Sometimes they have existed side by side, in competition with one another. At other times, they have ruled globally unchallenged. Despite the apparent future failure of fiat and the seemingly new invention of bitcoin, none of the current or future monetary systems are new to history. They have all been done before.

“Movements are messy,” says Astra Taylor. She knows this not only from studying activist history, but also from personal experience as a co-founder of the Debt Collective. Their work succeeded in canceling over $2 billion of student debt. Astra's new short documentary You Are Not a Loan (free on The Intercept) brings together students and professors to discuss changing the cost of education. She's also published a new book of essays Remake the World. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers talks to Astra about both new works. She reflects on the legacy of Occupy Wall Street and on her friend David Graeber, author of Debt: The First 5000 Years and Bullshit Jobs: A Theory, who died last year.Links to further references in this discussion:Episode 93: Astra Taylor on “What is Democracy?”Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's GoneBerkeley in the SixtiesEncounter at Kwacha HouseThe Murder of Fred Hampton

If aliens could beam to our shores with recording devices, a savage irony would immediately and immaculately light up their antennas: not only does our global society fail to provide The Golden Square to every person on Earth, humans are increasingly forced deeper and deeper into debt for those fundamental rights to Food, Shelter, Healthcare, and Education. The debt-staircase has become grossly absurd and toxically tragic—a ruinous prank laid upon us at an ever-accelerating rate since the dawn of neoliberalism. From cradle to grave, we're trapped on a noxious treadmill of Debt Achievement Goals: School Lunch Debt, College Debt, Credit Card Debt, Auto Loan Debt, Housing Debt, Medical Debt, and more. And even after death, debt collectors hound our family members and moralize about unpaid balances. As David Graeber once said, “As it turns out, we don't ‘all' have to pay our debts. Only some of us do.” And who is that “some of us,” exactly? Well, certainly not the 1%; rather only the rest of us—the great unwashed 99%—as we resign to rumination and self-blame for not being entrepreneurial enough. As capitalism forces us to pay for our own existence (while it indiscriminately tears through the Earth's remaining ecologies), we must seriously question the moral plea to “pay all debts.” And as it turns out, there is another path that leads us away from Terminal Dystopia Syndrome (TDS). Forged from relationships built during the prefigurative struggles of Occupy Wall Street —The Debt Collective has published an urgent and instructive new manifesto tackling the emergency of now: Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition. In this episode, Matt & Jesse consider the emancipatory ideas of this important book, the necessary demand to abolish debt, and how we might reclaim the “intellectual luxuries” we all deserve. The Debt Collective offer a persuasive argument for how and why Debtors Unions have dynamic potential to become the most liberatory union movement in history, providing the leverage needed to redress hierarchies of racial capitalism and colonial plunder by inaugurating a new era of investment in “Reparative Public Goods.” Amidst the powerful and dark-tidal pull of the COVID-19 pandemic, Can't Pay, Won't Pay provides a capstone to a trilogy on debt: David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years (an anthropological reckoning); Sam Esmail's Mr. Robot (a popular awakening), and finally, this book by the Debt Collective—a battle plan plan for how we unfuck the world that capitalism has smothered and smeared into shit. A 21st Century Debt Jubilee must be wrought by all of us, collectively.

David Graeber is well known for his role in jump-starting the 2011 Occupy Wall St. and “the 99% percent” movement. He died at the age of 59 on September, 2nd. He was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics, an anarchist activist, and the author of Debt: The First 5000 Years, and The Utopia of Rules. In 2018 he wrote Bullshit Jobs: A Theory. Host, Mitch Jeserich, was in conversation with David Graeber about that book two-years ago, They discussed how the concept of time has evolved to be used to control the masses through hourly paid work and leads to the proliferation of unnecessary jobs. The post David Graeber Remembered: The Consequences of Unnecessary Jobs appeared first on KPFA.
Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 1037, originally published in August 2018. Today's episode is about one short, simple, beautiful word: DEBT. Fresh off reading/listening to George Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years, Jason delves into the subject matter head first, playing some clips from the book and discussing them in regards to today's world.
