UnHerd's Freddie Sayers talks with Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford, Sir Dieter Helm, about the great climate "self-delusion." As global leaders, royals, and celebrities jet into Rio for the 30th UN Climate Summit (COP 30), Helm - one of the world's most respected climate economists - argues the entire Net Zero project, championed by the very elites at the summit, is built on smoke and mirrors, and reveals: why 30 years of COPs have been ineffective; the core deceit politicians have been telling the public for decades; how the West's green policies are actually helping China while leading to our own self-sabotage; and why the UK's "clean energy" dream is a fantasy that is leading to economic ruin. What is the real path forward, and is it too late to fix the mess we've made? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The dystopian futuristic movie Elysium portrays a terrible future in which only the rich have medical care while the poor suffer on an overpopulated, polluted planet. The film's theme—that only huge wealth transfers can bring medical care to low-income people—is fundamentally flawed.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/dystopia-misdiagnosed-how-rich-drive-health-innovation

It’s nearly 50 years since the dismissal of the Whitlam government - a story that shaped the journalism, and the life, of our own editor-at-large Paul Kelly, who back then was a 28-year-old political correspondent literally sprinting through Parliament to break the news. I interviewed Paul for a documentary we’re publishing today - and in this episode of The Front, he tells us his story of Australian politics’ most dramatic day. You can see the full documentary, plus see photos, videos and additional reporting, on The Australian’s website or YouTube channel.

n today's thought-provoking episode, Tom is joined by his ever-insightful co-host Drew for a dynamic, no-holds-barred conversation tackling the most pressing issues shaping our world right now. The crew dives headfirst into global politics—from the ongoing turmoil in Israel and Gaza, to the influence of leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump—analyzing whether the problems we face are rooted in individuals or systemic forces. The discussion takes an especially sharp turn when Tom and Drew debate the economic policies of populist leaders, with a special focus on Mamdani and the rise of socialist ideas. Tom is adamant about the dangers of deficit spending and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned but economically unsound policies, arguing that populism risks making life harder for the very people it claims to champion. Drew, meanwhile, pushes back, questioning whether reallocating government spending toward infrastructure and services—like free buses—could offer real solutions for the middle and lower classes. Listeners can expect rigorous analysis of America's fractured economy, why wealth inequality is exploding, the pitfalls of government spending, and the urgent need for economic literacy. The team even explores how America's mass under-education and lost competitive edge might threaten its place on the world stage, especially compared to China's meteoric rise. Throughout, Tom anchors the conversation around the core values that he believes America needs to reclaim: self-improvement, ambition, and a relentless drive to win. Thought experiments, tough questions about the future of unproductive citizens, and even reflections on children's entertainment and cultural mindsets round out this expansive, deeply relevant episode.

Thanks to an excellent write-up by the progressive independent news source in Michigan known as Distill Social, we've learned how two MAGA Michigan Republican congressmen are making a nice sum of money thanks to the tax cut bill they supported last summer.  Research by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reveals that Rep. Bill Huizenga will get around $50,000 dollars in tax breaks next year. AND, Rep. John James, who's also running to become Michigan's next governor, will rake-in around $12-grand next year as well.  Meanwhile, that same bill slashed Medicaid funding, SNAP funding, and clean energy job funding. Along with the MAGA Republican Government Shutdown they are supporting, Bill Huizenga and John James are the illustration of corporate and government greed.  They are getting richer while the working class gets bilked.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "How Two Michigan Republicans Cash In While Their Districts Get Cut Off."

Standard economic theory informs how we think about business strategy and the economy and presumes that people are selfish, have well-defined preferences, and consistently make welfare-maximizing choices. In other words, we are rational. But what if that is not the case?Nobel Prize-winning economist Richard Thaler is out with an updated edition of his bestselling 1991 book, "The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life." In the new edition, he and his co-author Alex Imas (both professors at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business) reflect on the last thirty years of behavioral economics and how it makes sense of tensions between our psychological biases and impulses that make us less than fully rational in practice. Using a wealth of empirical evidence, the authors explore the behavioral anomalies that contradict the expectations of standard economic theory and explain a wide range of real-world examples from banking crises to social media addiction.Earlier this month, Thaler joined Bethany and Luigi for a sold-out Capitalisn't recording in front of a live audience in Chicago to walk through the anomalies of human behavior that have endured from biblical times to the age of Big Tech. Thaler reflects on how views and the adoption of behavioral economics have changed over the last thirty years, both within academia and beyond (wonder why you can't put down your phone? Silicon Valley has read Thaler). He also shares how behavioral economics can influence public policy from canceling “junk fees” and dubious subscriptions to deciding which parts of the Affordable Care Act to keep and which are unlikely to produce their desired outcomes. Over conversation, light banter, and audience Q&A, Thaler shares his views on the state of capitalism and reveals how there is no grand unified theory of human behavior that incorporates all its irrationalities—only departures from the standard model.

Canada's upcoming federal budget is, by any measure, going to be big. It'll be big in size, symbolism and substance. And it's going to have to find support somewhere in the House to be passed at all. To talk about what's at stake, we've reconvened our policy panel, featuring Armine Yalnizyan and Sean Speer. They talk to host Amanda Lang about the need to fortify the economy, fight tariffs and make concessions.

The “Democratic penalty” should scare the hell out of Democrats.The Democratic Party brand has become toxic in certain parts of the country, especially with working- class voters. The Center for Working-Class Politics has actually measured this so-called “Democratic penalty,” and found it's in the double digits in some Rust Belt states.So what should Democrats do about it?One theory says that Democrats were once economic populists and just need to be again. Another theory says that the working class feels left behind and looked down on by a Democratic Party that has moved sharply left on culture, on climate, on guns, on immigration.Jared Abbott is the director of the Center for Working-Class Politics, which has done a lot of research and polling on working- class voters. So I asked him on the show to talk through these theories and what it would take for Democrats to once again be the party of the working class.Mentioned:“Compensate the Losers?” Economic Policy and Partisan Realignment in the US“Representation Gaps: Changes in Popular Preferences and the Structure of Partisan Competition in the Developed Democracies” by Peter A.

Monopolistic business practices have been illegal in the United States for more than a century. Yet, monopoly power continues to accelerate in our modern commercial landscape. Large, powerful corporations edge out smaller businesses, often citing scale, “efficiency”, and lower costs as their reasons for success. But looking more closely reveals a reality that is far different. Small businesses are more cost-effective and deliver better results to the people they serve than giant corporations. Furthermore, they form the backbone of engaged and connected communities. So what is actually preventing small businesses (and communities) from flourishing, and what can individuals do today to build economic power in their communities?  In this episode, Nate is joined by economic writer and strategist, Stacy Mitchell, to explore how concentrated economic power shapes the health of towns and cities – from economic resilience to social connectedness. They unpack why big businesses actually deliver poorer, pricier results and more vulnerable supply chains, yet are able squeeze smaller businesses out of the market. Stacy also sheds light on the United States' long history of breaking up monopolies through antitrust laws, and the policy developments in recent decades that have prevented their enforcement.  How do small businesses play an integral role in fostering resilient social capital? Why have we seen an increase in economic consolidation and inequality in the last several decades, and how can we reverse it? Finally, what practical steps can each of us take in our own communities to advance more localized economic systems that better serve people and the planet?

Starbucks does more business in Oregon than in just about any corner of the world. For one, the U.S. is the largest market for the world's largest coffee chain.  And in the U.S., there are more Starbucks stores per capita in Oregon than any other state. So how much in profits does Starbucks make in Oregon and how much does it pay in taxes to the state? We don't know. That information is secret. But one thing we do know is that Starbucks uses accounting tricks to keep its profits from being taxed where they were made.  In this episode of Policy for the People, we look into how big corporations like Starbucks hide their profits to avoid taxes. Jason Ward of Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research and Spandan Marasini of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy share stories about corporate tax avoidance and their insight into what to do about it.

We talk with North Carolina State political scientist Andrew J. Taylor about his new book, A Tolerance for Inequality: American Public Opinion and Economic Policy, probing why voters often prefer public goods and tax cuts over classic redistribution—and how policy frequently tracks aggregate opinion more than pundits admit. Taylor also explores why blue-collar districts don't reliably elect blue-collar representatives and what that says about representation. Plus: the Spiel on the James Comey indictment—why prosecutors previously declined the case, how the McCabe leak finding undercuts the charge, and why this looks like executive retribution rather than justice.

China-Africa trade in the first eight months of the year increased by 15% to more than $220 billion, on track to break another annual record. A significant portion of that growth, however, stemmed from a surge in Chinese exports to African countries, exacerbating an already substantial $60 billion African trade deficit with China. South Africa, by far, is China's most important trade partner on the continent, and it is attempting to close that gap by increasing its exports of agricultural products to China. The problem, however, is that it will take a lot more than selling fruits and vegetables to narrow the country's gaping trade deficit. In the meantime, local producers are facing growing pricing pressure from the surge of low-cost Chinese imports. Eric & Cobus discuss the difficult position that many African countries are facing in this new, more competitive trade landscape.

Erica Groshen knows what's behind the numbers.   She served as the 14th Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and a Vice President at the New York Fed.   The BLS is rarely in the headlines but political assaults on its independence have suddenly made its work front-page news. At stake: whether the data that guide trillions in investment and policy decisions can still be trusted.   In our conversation, Erica and I explored five questions that matter not just for CRE professionals, but for anyone trying to make sense of today's economy: What happens to markets when political leaders undermine trust in official statistics? How would a politicized Fed and BLS reshape the cost of capital and risk across the economy? How is the nation's labor data actually gathered? Why does the BLS's data matter so much for the business and CRE cycle? How does the Fed use labor data to set interest rates? This isn't an abstract debate.   For commercial real estate, cap rates, borrowing costs, and deal structures all trace back to the business cycle - and that cycle is measured first and foremost by BLS data.   If you want to look beyond today's headlines and hear why institutional trust translates directly into your cost of capital — this is the episode to listen to.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape. You'll get: Straight talk on what happens when confidence meets correction - no hype, no spin, no fluff. Real implications of macro trends for investors and sponsors with actionable guidance.

She explains how these policies are shifting the balance of power away from the elites and back towards ordinary workers, while corporate media and political insiders try to discredit them.They discuss the fentanyl crisis, China's role in hollowing out American industry, and why Trump's fight over tariffs in the Supreme Court could redefine U.S. economic sovereignty.
