Podcasts about Extravagance

Worship with Kathy Koop

At the close of the 1970s, government treasuries and central banks took a vow of perpetual self-restraint. To this day, fiscal authorities fret over soaring public debt burdens, while central bankers wring their hands at the slightest sign of rising wages. As the brief reprieve of coronavirus spending made clear, no departure from government austerity will be tolerated without a corresponding act of penance. Yet we misunderstand the scope of neoliberal public finance if we assume austerity to be its sole setting. Beyond the zero-sum game of direct claims on state budgets lies a realm of indirect government spending that escapes the naked eye. Capital gains are multiply subsidized by a tax system that reserves its greatest rewards for financial asset holders. And for all its airs of haughty asceticism, the Federal Reserve has become adept at facilitating the inflation of asset values while ruthlessly suppressing wages. Neoliberalism is as extravagant as it is austere, and this paradox needs to be grasped if we are to challenge its core modus operandi. In Counterrevolution: Extravagance and Austerity in Public Finance (Zone Books, 2024) Dr. Melinda Cooper examines the major schools of thought that have shaped neoliberal common sense around public finance. Focusing, in particular, on Virginia school public choice theory and supply-side economics, she shows how these currents produced distinct but ultimately complementary responses to the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. With its intellectual roots in the conservative Southern Democratic tradition, Virginia school public choice theory espoused an austere doctrine of budget balance. The supply-side movement, by contrast, advocated tax cuts without spending restraint and debt issuance without guilt, in an apparent repudiation of austerity. Yet, for all their differences, the two schools converged around the need to rein in the redistributive uses of public spending. Together, they drove a counterrevolution in public finance that deepened the divide between rich and poor and revived the fortunes of dynastic wealth. Far-reaching as the neoliberal counterrevolution has been, Dr. Cooper still identifies a counterfactual history of unrealized possibilities in the capitalist crisis of the 1970s. She concludes by inviting us to rethink the concept of revolution and raises the question: Is another politics of extravagance possible? This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Send us a textEpisode 2 of Season 2 is very exciting!  I talk with Sarah Khan, a visual architect and floral artist in the DC area who does very creative and extravagant work. She has made a boat out of florals, 30+ peacocks, a Barbie House and even designed with some of her team on Season 2 of the HBO show Full Bloom. Sarah, owner of Sarah Khan Events & Design, is the queen of floral installations. She currently has an exhibit at the Museum of Illusion in DC.  In this conversation Sarah shares the influence of her parents and their love of plants and gardening. She also tells us how she elevates her designs to make them evoke emotion and memories. Sarah's Full Bio:Sarah's passion for luxury and beauty began at a young age, shaped by the artistry passed down from her mother and grandmother. Drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of Pakistani and Indian crafts, Sarah has successfully blended timeless techniques with modern design to create unique, culturally infused event experiences for South Asians in the US. As Creative Director, she approaches every project as an opportunity to craft transformative visual stories, with a focus on timeless elegance.Her work has earned recognition in Harper's Bazaar Bride, Washingtonian Weddings, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Modern Luxury Weddings DC, and top South Asian bridal blogs. Notable projects include floral and set designs for a welcoming ceremony for former President Obama, a floral dress for Cirque Du Soleil, National Geographic's coverage of an ethnic wedding, and a finale party for The Real Housewives of Potomac. Above all, Sarah's greatest satisfaction comes from collaborating closely with clients to exceed their expectations and deliver a tangible, unforgettable vision. Follow her on IG: @sarahkhaneventstyling

Embarquez pour une virée hors du commun dans les festivités de Noël ! Dans ce nouvel épisode du podcast "On s'en tient à Caro", Caroline Ithurbide vous fait découvrir le cas fascinant d'un couple allemand ayant établi le record du monde du plus grand nombre de sapins de Noël dans un même logement. Avec leurs 600 sapins installés dans un appartement de 280 mètres carrés, Thomas et Suzanne ont réussi à créer un véritable royaume des fêtes, où les lumières scintillantes et les décorations multicolores envahissent jusqu'aux moindres recoins, même les salles de bain et les toilettes ! Décryptant les chiffres ahurissants de cette folle entreprise, Caroline nous plonge dans un univers où l'esprit de Noël a pris des proportions délirantes.Entre stupéfaction et questionnements, on se demande si cette démesure n'est pas le reflet d'un besoin irrépressible de fête et de réjouissances. Car malgré le côté excessif de l'entreprise, on ne peut s'empêcher d'être contaminé par l'enthousiasme débordant du couple, qui a commencé à décorer dès le mois de juin pour être fin prêt pour les fêtes.Alors que certains jugeront cette entreprise comme une pure folie, d'autres y verront le moyen d'exprimer pleinement la magie de Noël. C'est tout le charme de cet épisode que de nous faire réfléchir sur les différentes façons de célébrer cette période de l'année, entre tradition et originalité.

Additions à six chiffres, Romanée-Conti finissant en fond de crachoir, match de Petrus en plein service… Dans l'univers feutré des restaurants de palaces, où le service donne le sentiment de ronronner tel un bourdon bienheureux, surgissent à échéances irrégulières des commandes à vous donner des sueurs froides. Du Ritz à l'Hôtel de Paris en passant par le Pavyllon, le Meurice et le George V, retour sur ces coups de chauds durant lesquels tout bon sommelier se doit de garder la tête froide.Dans ce nouvel épisode de Parlons Vin, Alicia Dorey, journaliste Vin, raconte les histoires les plus mémorables des sommeliers.Et n'oubliez pas : parlons peu mais Parlons Vin !Vous pouvez écouter Parlons Vin sur Figaro Radio, le site du Figaro et sur toutes les plateformes d'écoutes.

When Renting Real Estate to your S-Corp leads to a deficiency $500,000+ The Gregory and Laura  Schnackel Tax Court Saga: A Tale of Extravagance and DeceptionTaxnotes Case Review: https://www.taxnotes.com/research/federal/court-documents/court-opinions-and-orders/no-deductions-28000-month-condo-no-business-purpose/7kjhlAre you a tax professional looking for an online community focused on growing technical knowledge? Where all responses require a citation? Check out Incite! InCite Tax Community: https://www.incite.tax/In this episode, we delve into the dramatic and intriguing tax court case of Gregory and Laura Shackle as detailed in Tax Court Memo 2024-76. Gregory, the owner of an engineering and design S-Corp, purchases a lavish $3 million New York City condo, furnishes it with $300,000 worth of high-end items, and tries to pass off much of these costs as business expenses. Amidst extramarital affairs and questionable spending, Gregory fails to maintain proper records, resulting in significant penalties and tax deficiencies. Laura, with minimal involvement in the business, successfully applies for innocent spouse relief, while the courts determine the substantial amounts owed. This tale is a striking example of the potential fallout from attempting to misuse business write-offs, and the responsibilities that come with tax reporting, even when using a tax professional. The episode concludes with the fallout from Gregory and Laura's divorce and the consequential financial and personal unraveling.00:00 Introduction to the Case00:27 Background of Gregory and Laura00:38 Gregory's Business Ventures02:57 The New York Condo Purchase05:32 Questionable Business Practices09:02 Luxury Furnishings and Personal Use12:49 The Range Rover Purchase15:41 The Affair and Financial Misconduct17:56 Innocent Spouse Relief19:07 IRS Penalties and Court Rulings25:46 Lessons and Final Thoughts

Luke, a medical doctor is in a jail in Ephesus in about 56 A.D. caring for the needs of the prisoner, the Apostle Paul, whom Luke frequently accompanied on his preaching tours.  In about 70 A.D., Luke, after the martyrdom of his mentor, the Apostle Paul, in Rome, writes Luke-Acts, a two volume work telling the story of Jesus in Luke and his Spirit filled church in Acts. This is the only book in all of scripture written by a Gentile.  His two volume work is longer than all of Paul's letters combined.  He writes his Gospel to Theophilus, a Gentile believer, "… so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."  Luke's Gospel contains the apostolic witness to the life of Jesus as Luke had received it from Paul, John Mark, and others. You might ask "Why read the Gospels?"  The answer: Because we seem to know why Jesus died but we do not seem to know why Jesus lives.  The Gospels are our primary apprenticing tools for Discipling the church into the living presence of Jesus. Come join on us in our exploration of the "Greatest Story Ever Told."

We want to reclaim the table as a meeting ground for our lives with each other and with Jesus.  As we head toward Easter, we are taking a look at meals Jesus shared with various people and how they are opportunities for so much more than just eating together.

We've all seen them tantalizingly promoted across the internet.  Many of us have spent more than we should on them.  Most of us have debated if we really need them or if we'll get in trouble from our significant others for buying them: Box Sets.  Super Deluxe Box Sets.  Album compilation box sets.  Whichever the flavor, these expensive records are becoming more and more prevalent.  Host Rob from Northern Revolutions is joined this time around by Racer Joe from Racer Records on YouTube to discuss box sets: what makes a good one, are they really worth the big price tag, are they essential (or a luxury) and a whole lot more.

How do you firmly and sensitively impose limits on others in regards to Christmas gifts.Todays episode is in response to a listen question: "My children are 3 and 5 and the only grandchildren for my and my husband's parents. The number of gifts we receive at Christmas is overwhelming and quite stressful. I've had a frank conversation with my parents about sticking to a limited number of presents. This has worked pretty well.My mother-in-law is a bit harder. I don't feel the freedom to be as frank with her. She loves giving gifts, and has taken offense in the past to the suggestion of experience gifts.Please help! For many reasons I don't want to continue having an outlandish Christmas celebration at her house that results in a packed car and a very stressed out mama.In this episode I share my response to this email with my top tips and tricks to enjoying a less stressful/ less extravagant Christmas.You may also like to listen to these episodes:Christmas BlenderChristmas FunctionsChristmas Gifts and WrapChristmas DecorationsChristmas ScheduleChristmas HolidaysJoin our communityBecome a Patron – your monthly donation makes a huge difference to me being able to produce this podcast.

Bentley's Bentayga helped bring Bentley into the modern crossover battles when it surfaced in 2015. Bentley updated its hot-selling Bentayga in 2020 with some styling and tech enhancements to help make it even more competitive in a hotly contested luxury car space. Borrowing the styling direction from the rest of the Bentley lineup, the Bentayga doesn't look out of place in a Bentley fan's driveway. Available in standard and long wheel base versions, the Benyaga also packs an array of different powertrains. The top-flight W12 is at home in the Bentayga speed, where it sends 626 hp into an eight-speed automatic. Bentley also offers the Bentayga with its 3.0-liter V6 hybrid and a 4.0-liter turbocharged V8. This Bentayga tester packs the 542 hp V8 under the hood. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the 2023 Bentley Bentayga Azure and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of the Bentley and highlights some of its interesting features. Murphy also takes you along on a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about the Bentley Bentayga, its competitive set, and if it lives up to the Bentley heritage. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes the Bentayga special.
