The Theological Metaphors of Marx (Duke UP, 2024) by Enrique Dussel – A Conversation with Camilo Pérez-Bustillo and Eduardo Mendieta In The Theological Metaphors of Marx, Enrique Dussel provides a groundbreaking combination of Marxology, theology, and ethical theory. Dussel shows that Marx unveils the theology of capitalism in his critique of commodity fetishization. Capitalism constitutes an idolatry of the commodity that undergirds the capitalist expropriation of labor. Dussel examines Marx's early writings on religion and fetishism and proceeds through what Dussel refers to as the four major drafts of Capital, ultimately situating Marx's philosophical, economic, ethical, and historical insights in relation to the theological problems of his time. Dussel notes a shift in Marx's underlying theological schema from a political critique of the state to an economic critique of the commodity fetish as the Devil, or anti-God, of modernity. Marx's thought, impact, and influence cannot be fully understood without Dussel's historic reinterpretation of the theological origins and implications of Marx's critiques of political economy and politics. Enrique Dussel (1934–2023) was Emeritus Professor, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, and the author of many books, including Twenty Theses on Politics and Ethics of Liberation: In the Age of Globalization and Exclusion, both also published by Duke University Press.Camilo Pérez-Bustillo is coauthor of Human Rights, Hegemony, and Utopia in Latin America.Eduardo Mendieta is Professor of Philosophy and Latina/o Studies at Pennsylvania State University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Jason and John Mauldin discuss the current state of the housing market, noting at while some areas face a shortage due to regulations and high costs, others have a surplus of homes. They highlight the impact of high mortgage rates relative to housing prices, pushing some into the rental market. Jason mentioned a record number of new apartment deliveries during the COVID-19 period, which is now subsiding, and they discussed the muted performance of the housing market overall, with some markets slightly up and others down. John suggested that sellers in many markets may need to adjust their expectations, describing a "barbell market" with high and low ends but a lack of mid-range options. https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts #JohnMauldin #HousingMarket #HousingShortage #Tariffs #Homebuilders #MortgageRates #RentalMarket #ApartmentConstruction #InterestRates #Powell #Trump #FederalReserve #Inflation #Deflation #Disinflation #GovernmentDebt #GDPGrowth #Deficits #StockMarket #Dividends #PassiveInvesting #ActiveInvesting #PreciousMetals #Gold #BitcoinSkeptic #FinancialAdvice #AmericanExperiment #FreeMarkets #Crisis #DebtCrisis #AI #Robotics #Longevity #GlobalEnergy #NaturalGas #OilPrices #Protectionism #Globalization #ConsumptionTax #VAT #ThoughtsFromTheFrontLine #MauldinEconomics Key Takeaways: 1:49 Don't be fooled by Bill Gates 2:50 John Mauldin and the housing shortage 9:58 Bitcoin and gold as insurance 11:32 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman/ 13:31 Stock market 15:53 Inflation expectations and the bond market 18:52 The markets and geo-political noise 22:15 The American experiment is alive and well Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Beijing is demanding answers from Nvidia just weeks after Washington lifted the export ban on its AI chips. China's cyberspace regulator has summoned the U.S. company, raising concerns that its H20 chips contain backdoors. What exactly is a hardware backdoor? Are China's worries about chip security justified? How difficult is it to prove a chip is truly secure? And if backdoor functions are validated, what could this mean for Nvidia's business in the world's second-largest market? Host Tu Yun joins Prof. Toby Walsh, the Chief Scientist of the AI Institute, University of New South Wales, Australia, Andy Mok, a senior research fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, and Professor Qu Qiang, a fellow of the Belt and Road Research Center, Minzu University of China to take a close look.

The United States and China wrapped up the third round of high-level trade negotiations earlier this week. American and Chinese negotiators met in Stockholm on July 28 and 29. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks as constructive and wide ranging. He acknowledged that an extension of the 90-day tariff pause was discussed but said that the final decision was up to President Trump. As of today – August 1 – Trump has remained mum. The Chinese side's readout was devoid of details, although China's vice minister of commerce said that both countries would continue to push for an extension of the reciprocal tariffs and Chinese countermeasures.How should we assess the dynamics in the trade talks, including the balance of leverage between Washington and Beijing? And how might the trade negotiations shape the future of the US-China relationship? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Dr. Scott Kennedy. Scott is senior adviser and trustee chair in Chinese Business and Economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Marty sits down with Infra to discuss how decades of globalization and financialization have hollowed out American manufacturing, created massive wealth inequality, and led to a "silent depression" marked by declining real wages, rising deaths of despair, and social dysfunction that can only be addressed through economic nationalism, dollar devaluation, and a shift toward productive rather than financial assets like Bitcoin.

Globalization is over. With US president Donald Trump pursuing an 'America First' agenda in trade and foreign policy, everyone now recognises the urgency of defending their own country's national interest. But what is the national interest and why did it disappear from the political agenda? Will Trump restore American national interests, or will he betray them? How might we know the difference? The National Interest: Politics After Globalization (Polity Press, 2025) answers these questions. It explains how and why globalist political leaders and bureaucrats abandoned the national interest over the past thirty years. Even today, many of our elites still sneer at the concept as an anachronism in an age of global environmental collapse and 'polycrisis'. But without it, there can be no political representation, and without representation there can be no democratic accountability. The national interest can be revived as part of a strategy of nation-building and national rebirth. This book makes the case for such a revival, heralding a new era of democratic renewal and international cooperation.

President Trump's policies swiftly rewriting the rules of global trade. As the United States imposes tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, do we risk losing our edge? On the GZERO World Podcast, CNN's Fareed Zakaria joins Ian Bremmer to discuss what happens when globalization's biggest champion becomes its biggest critic. For the past 80 years, the United States has been the beating heart of the free trade movement, the country that forced all the other countries in the world to open their markets. But now, Washington is tearing up the economic playbook—levying historic tariffs and recasting the world as a high-stakes, winner-take-all, zero-sum game. Zakaria says we are living through an age of backlash to 30 years of globalization and that the next 10 years will be a period of “slowbalization,” where we'll see a much slower pace of growth and a much more political economy. Bremmer and Zakaria break down America's retreat from global leadership, shifting power dynamics between the US and China, European pressure to become more self-sufficient, and whether the Trump administration's economic gamble is worth the risk.“The United States has gone from the leading advocate of free trade to being the most protectionist advanced industrial country in the world,” Zakaria warns, “We've always invited competition from the world's best. If we move to something else, I think we lose that edge.”Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Fareed Zakaria Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

With US president Donald Trump pursuing an 'America First' agenda in trade and foreign policy, everyone now recognises the urgency of defending their own country's national interest. But what is the national interest and why did it disappear from the political agenda? Will Trump restore American national interests, or will he betray them? How might we know the difference? The National Interest: Politics After Globalization (Polity Press, 2025) answers these questions. It explains how and why globalist political leaders and bureaucrats abandoned the national interest over the past thirty years. Even today, many of our elites still sneer at the concept as an anachronism in an age of global environmental collapse and 'polycrisis'. But without it, there can be no political representation, and without representation there can be no democratic accountability. The national interest can be revived as part of a strategy of nation-building and national rebirth. This book makes the case for such a revival, heralding a new era of democratic renewal and international cooperation.

President Trump's policies swiftly rewriting the rules of global trade. As the United States imposes tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, do we risk losing our edge? On the GZERO World Podcast, CNN's Fareed Zakaria joins Ian Bremmer to discuss what happens when globalization's biggest champion becomes its biggest critic. For the past 80 years, the United States has been the beating heart of the free trade movement, the country that forced all the other countries in the world to open their markets. But now, Washington is tearing up the economic playbook—levying historic tariffs and recasting the world as a high-stakes, winner-take-all, zero-sum game. Zakaria says we are living through an age of backlash to 30 years of globalization and that the next 10 years will be a period of “slowbalization,” where we'll see a much slower pace of growth and a much more political economy. Bremmer and Zakaria break down America's retreat from global leadership, shifting power dynamics between the US and China, European pressure to become more self-sufficient, and whether the Trump administration's economic gamble is worth the risk.“The United States has gone from the leading advocate of free trade to being the most protectionist advanced industrial country in the world,” Zakaria warns, “We've always invited competition from the world's best. If we move to something else, I think we lose that edge.”Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Fareed Zakaria Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

STAYradio Episode #278 features a throwback mix from Spryte from January of 2009. This was part of a monthly mix series at the time.
Despite "constructive" talks, no deal was reached between China and the U.S. on extending the 90-day tariff truce, and the August 12 deadline is fast approaching. What's holding both sides back? What are the hidden costs for consumers if tariffs snap back into place? How might the outcome of the China-U.S. trade talks influence Washington's negotiations with other economies? And could this diplomatic dance set the stage for a summit between the two state leaders later this year? Host Tu Yun joins Harvey Dzodin, Senior Fellow, Center for China and Globalization, Dr. Zhou Mi, Deputy Director, Institute of American and Oceania Study, Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, Prof. Qu Bo, Director, Institute of International Relations, China Foreign Affairs University, and Warwick Powell, Adjunct Professor, Queensland University of Technology, Australia for a close look.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into one of the most controversial and complex issues of our time: wealth inequality and the fierce debate around taxing the rich. Hashtags like “EatTheRich” have taken over social media, and public figures are demanding that billionaires pay their “fair share.” But what do the numbers actually say—are the wealthy really freeloading, or are we missing the bigger picture? Tom unpacks the realities behind the statistics, breaking down who really funds the government, why taxing the rich might not be the solution people think it is, and the powerful psychological forces driving resentment and populism. Along the way, he traces the real culprits behind the shrinking middle class—from runaway inflation and globalization to misguided regulations. If you've ever wondered whether simply taxing billionaires could fix our economic system, or why history shows that punitive tax policies often backfire, this episode will leave you questioning common wisdom and craving real solutions. Get ready for a data-driven, myth-busting journey that reveals both the causes of inequality and what needs to happen for genuine progress. Let's jump in!

Taverns in the 18th century were more than watering holes for the masses. They were centers of cultural, political and social influence. Taverns were the conduits through which news was conveyed to the people from traders and travellers from far away. Hostelrys that provided an economic boon to any community, taverns were also places where groups could plot and plan their resistance to the British empire.

Tech leaders promise that AI automation will usher in an age of unprecedented abundance: cheap goods, universal high income, and freedom from the drudgery of work. But even if AI delivers material prosperity, will that prosperity be shared? And what happens to human dignity if our labor and contributions become obsolete?Political philosopher Michael Sandel joins Tristan Harris to explore why the promise of AI-driven abundance could deepen inequalities and leave our society hollow. Drawing from his landmark work on justice and merit, Sandel argues that this isn't just about economics — it's about what it means to be human when our work role in society vanishes, and whether democracy can survive if productivity becomes our only goal.We've seen this story before with globalization: promises of shared prosperity that instead hollowed out the industrial heart of communities, economic inequalities, and left holes in the social fabric. Can we learn from the past, and steer the AI revolution in a more humane direction?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on X: @HumaneTech_.
