Join Matt Lewis as he welcomes Mike Madrid, Republican consultant, Lincoln Project co-founder, and author of 'The Latino Century,' to dive into two seismic topics shaking the political landscape, plus one deep, esoteric one. -- First, they unpack the explosive Jeffrey Goldberg Signal scandal—how did a journalist end up in a sensitive chat with Trump's national security team? Is this a fleeting outrage or a sign of deeper incompetence? Madrid breaks down its impact on Trump's fading honeymoon phase, consumer confidence, and rising Democratic momentum. -- Then, they explore the Latino vote's transformation—why third-generation Latinos are shifting right and voting like assimilated working-class Americans. From institutional collapse to populism's rise, this conversation reveals how technology, demographics, and power dynamics are reshaping democracy. -- Lastly, don't miss Madrid's insights on Trump's endgame, the Tea Party's legacy, and his optimistic vision for a Latinized America. -- Get 'The Latino Century' https://www.amazon.com/Latino-Century-Americas-Transforming-Democracy/dp/1668015269and follow Madrid's Substack, 'The Great Transformation' https://greattransformation.substack.com/ Support "Matt Lewis & The News" at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFollow Matt Lewis & Cut Through the Noise:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattklewis/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

In this episode, we discuss the work of brilliant heterodox economist Karl Polanyi. We talk about his criticisms of neoclassical orthodoxy, his arguments against the commodification of land, labor, and money, and his critique of the dominance of markets in theory and in practice. Put markets in their place and regulate the hell out of them! We also consider his influence on recent leftist economic thought, and talk through what's at stake in the difference between Marxist and Polanyian approaches to history and politics. We think there are limits to the Polanyi line, but it's hard not to love an authentically humanist fellow traveler!leftofphilosophy.comReferences:Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time (Boston: Beacon Press, 2014).Karl Polanyi, For a New West: Essays, 1919-1958, eds.

What's behind the political and social transformation taking place in the U.S.? According to Mike Madrid, author, veteran political strategist and expert on Latino voting trends, it's digital technology and demographics. His latest book is "The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy." As part of the Helen Edison Lecture Series, Madrid covers a wide-range of topics, from the outcome of the 2024 election to the state of America's institutions to who he thinks will offer solutions to keep the idea of America alive for future generations. Madrid is joined by Zach Friend, policy and public affairs communication expert who worked in the Obama White House, to further explore current social and political trends.

The psychological and spiritual significance, rebirth, and transformation of changing one's hair. How even the tiniest acts of self-love and self-improvement begin great transformation. How investing in improvements to appearance and environment do the same. (They also serve as great reminders.) How being seen and valued (appreciated not tolerated) by those you surround yourself with makes all the difference in experiencing success and fulfillment. What is the Reticular Activating System (RAS) in our brains, how it affects our perception and reality, why you need to know it exists, and how it can be used as a tool to manifest what you want to experience. RGF Bonus: Kev and Duane attempt to use RAS to manifest the opening of a 1980's style arcade. Bye Betches!

Sean Illing talks with economic historian Brad DeLong about his new book Slouching Towards Utopia. In it, DeLong claims that the "long twentieth century" was the most consequential period in human history, during which the institutions of rapid technological growth and globalization were created, setting humanity on a path towards improving life, defeating scarcity, and enabling real freedom. But... this ran into some problems. Sean and Brad talk about the power of markets, how the New Deal led to something approaching real social democracy, and why the Great Recession of 2008 and its aftermath signified the end of this momentous era.

A Great Transformation! ​ Featuring Aureole Lighten and Joe O'Malley, with Drummers Cynthia Ewers, Brooke Greiner, Sally Pendras, Susan MacKenzie and Kathy Sestrap on piano.   It's common to enter a new year wanting to begin again. Sometimes all we need is a re-commitment to something already precious to our hearts and souls. Times like these, when the entire world is in agreement that a new year has begun, is when we can use the momentum of the collective and renew our commitment to the highest good of all. In other words, the perfect time for a great transformation. Rev Judith Laxer revjudith@gaiastemple.org

Meaningful change at organizations is often hindered by employees' natural inclination to keep doing things the way they've always done them. Now, a new three-year research initiative from Great Place to Work entitled The Great Transformation is measuring meaningfully transformative change at eleven organizations following from the launch of new inclusion, diversity and equity initiatives.In this episode of All Things Work, guest host Mike Frost is joined by Brian Reaves, UKG's Chief Belonging, Diversity, and Equity Officer. They discuss how The Great Transformation is helping UKG achieve improvements in areas such as productivity, agility and innovation. Employee resource groups (ERGs) also are playing an important role in UKG's transformation initiative, and recent study by Great Place to Work likewise finds ERGs are critical in creating a sense of belonging, safety and pride: Reaves describes the contributions ERGs have made at UKG and what it takes to keep them moving forward.Episode transcriptFollow All Things Work on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.Music courtesy of bensound.This episode of All Things Work is sponsored by UKG.

Episode #273 October 31st is Reformation Day - On this episode, Ryan shares about the greatest transformation of Western society since the apostles first preached the Gospel throughout the Roman empire.This episode commemorates the Protestant Reformation started by Martin Luther's posting of the 95 Theses on October 31, 1517.Ryan provides background on how Luther was initially trying to reform, not break from, the Catholic Church. He particularly disagreed with the selling of indulgences for the remission of sins, which had no biblical basis.Luther translated the Bible into German so common people could read God's Word. He promoted the priesthood of all believers - direct access to God without needing a priestly mediator.The episode highlights Luther's five solas recapturing biblical doctrine: Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, and Glory to God Alone.Ryan explains how Luther affirmed the equal status of all vocations pursued in faith, debunking divisions between "sacred" and "secular" callings. His views upheld the dignity of ordinary work done with sincerity.In all, Luther opened God's Word to the masses, granting them personal connection with the Divine. His reforms continue to shape Christianity 500 years later.MORE FROM RYAN:Get your FREE DOWNLOAD 21 Days to a Spirit-Led Life to learn how the Holy Spirit can be your personal guide through today's cultural chaosSubscribe to Cutting Edge Faith on YouTubeConnect with Ryan on Instagram or LinkedInSubmit a question or topic for the podcast at ryanshoward.com/contactGet Ryan's eCourse & Coaching Programs

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveCapitalism is a revolutionary force. It is not conservative. So why have conservatives gone along with market fundamentalism for so long? Sohrab Ahmari, a convert to Catholicism, has been known as a culture warrior. This time he returns to the podcast to make a surprising argument. Ahmari, the founder and editor of Compact magazine, argues in his new book Tyranny, Inc., that it's the economy, stupid. Private power is imposing its own tyranny through tools of economic coercion that exploit workers. It's time to redirect attention from the hysteria over “wokeness” and toward establishing social democratic protections in America. That's a view ubiquitous on the left, but a similar case is being made on the populist right. Sohrab, Shadi, and Damir debate America's economic order, its social contract, and what he sees as the cruelty within it amid globalization and technological change. Embracing the label “pro-life New Dealer,” Sohrab laments the right's obsession with the culture wars and argues that conservatives are losing sight of glaring problems in the economy. He says the path forward is greater state intervention that seeks to treat the ills of neoliberalism while boosting America's productivity. The three also delve into how an emboldened state may collide with Sohrab's socially and culturally conservative values. Can the United States convert to a social democracy while retaining its title as the world's economic leader?In the full episode (for paying subscribers only), Shadi, Damir, and Sohrab discuss China's future and whether the country will abandon its industrial policy approach amid shifting trade dynamics. They cover the GOP's economic stance and what Sohrab sees as the incongruity between the party's culturally conservative and pro-market positions. They explore Protestantism's influence in shaping economic views and the prospect of figures like Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and J.D. Vance of Ohio, ushering in a new period of pro-labor policymaking that meets the call for change.Required Reading:* Tyranny, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty--and What to Do About It, by Sohrab Ahmari (Amazon).* Compact Magazine, where Sohrab is founder and editor.* Sohrab's first appearance on Wisdom of Crowds.* The meme Damir referenced about why America doesn't have universal health care.* “On Conservatism and Capitalism,” by Damir Marusic (America's Future).* The Great Transformation, by Karl Polanyi (Amazon).* The Market Revolution: Jacksonian America 1815-1846, by Charles Sellers (Amazon).* Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, by Kristin Kobes Du Mez (Amazon).* Abraham Lincoln's speech at the Wisconsin State Fair. * Of Boys and Men, by Richard V.

Welcome to episode 143 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with historian, author, and Harvard master's graduate, Emily Ruhl, on her new paper and master's thesis, In League with the Devine: How Religion Influenced Nazi Perpetrators of the Holocaust. This is the first of a three-part episode. You will find my full and detailed question list at the bottom of today's show notes. Also, be sure to see the list "audio chapters" in all three parts to find exactly where each topic is discussed. (Here are links to parts two and three. A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found right below [above the full-question list].) (In order to preserve both my podcast and sanity as I proceed through the Torrens graduate program, I've decided to slow my podcast from one episode a week to once a month.) The Nazi Party started by trying to resist and reject all religion, but soon, religion became a fundamental part of the Party's strategy of coercing and propagandizing everybody, from members of the public, to the highest ranking figures in both religious and political institutions, into accepting the brutal and systematic murder of eleven-million souls. The Nazi religion took elements of Christianity, Protestantism, and Paganism, to make one geared not to brotherly love, but primarily to erasing non-Aryans from the Earth. This Nazi pseudo-religion served both as coercion – you must kill the unworthy, or at least stand back while others do – and also as a salve, to come to terms with what you've just done. As you'll hear in the cool quote for part two (the first minute before the opening music), that salve can make the difference between sanity and insanity, and life and death. The Nazi's didn't want to murder eleven million people, they had to, because God said they had to. It was "unfortunate, but necessary." My primary goal for this interview is to demonstrate how this is parallel to mainstream economics, which is also a tool to justify suffering, this time in the form of austerity. Instead of a gun to the head at point blank range, austerity is mass deprivation and exploitation, resulting in a slow and torturous death by despair, starvation, exposure, and untreated sickness and injury – not to mention wasted potential. We currently have the ability to provide all with what they desperately need, including healthcare, education, decent food and shelter, un-poisoned water, and breathable air. As illuminated by Kate Raworth's doughnut, if we are to continue existing as a species, then we must provide the desperate with what they most desperately need. At the same time, we also have to stop the very few on top from using the vast majority of our precious and limited resources to needlessly lavish themselves. Unfortunately, we are instead digging ourselves into an even deeper ecological crisis, when we should be getting off fossil fuels entirely, and restructuring society so we don't require as much. On our current path, in the not-too-distant future, it may indeed become unfortunate but necessary to choose who must be deprived in order for the rest to live. Of course, given our obscene and still growing inequality, the most powerful few will be the ones to make those decisions, and the least powerful many will be the sacrificed. This is the lifeboat economics of the tragedy of the tragedy of the commons. Instead of the around eleven million murdered by the Nazi Party, mainstream economics is little more than a religion to justify what may ultimately result in the death of not millions, but billions. Austerity is genocide at a slower pace. As if riding in a bus hurtling towards a cliff, we as a species currently face a binary choice, between having a terrible accident, and plunging off into oblivion. As Mark Twain said, "History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme." There is still time to learn from that history. We can choose another path. On a completely unrelated side note, while attending her master's program, writing her master's thesis and working full time, Emily also wrote… an entire fantasy novel. You can find out more about it, and read the entire first chapter, at her website, emilyruhlbooks.com. In order to preserve both my podcast and my sanity as I proceed through Torrens University and Modern Money Lab's graduate program in MMT and ecological economics (

Invest with Us 1-800-GABELLI (800-422-3554) Tim Winter, Portfolio Manager of the Gabelli Utilities Fund and long time Utilities Research Analyst highlights the value of the utilities sector. The sector is undergoing a great transformation from fossil fuels to clean energy. Electric gas and water utilities still have the same traditional defensive characteristics - monopolies, service areas, essential products, stable customer base, strong balance sheets, and strong credit ratings but now they have the added boost of political and regulatory support to achieve clean energy goals.

This episode features Giuseppe Esposito, a Neapolitan musician who runs the tape label Archivio Diafònico, an operation that mostly documents artists who are based in Napoli. The chaotic and bustling capital of the South of Italy undeservedly gets a bad reputation, and the city has a vibrant cultural scene and rich history that is sorely underappreciated. Through a chronicle of his own musical formation and the birth of the label, Esposito constructs a map of the Neapolitan underground scene, with particular attention to noise and improvisation. We also discuss Abidjan Centrale / Partono i Bastimenti, a podcast Esposito produces with Carole Oulato exploring the diverse musical traditions of Africa.

In order to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and to live a life of peace, joy, love, and abundance, you must overcome your limiting beliefs and programming that have kept you from being your authentic self. Valeria interviews Tamara Goodstein  — she is a certified Intuitive and Holistic Life Coach trained in the Love & Authenticity methodology. Originally from New York, USA she was married for 25 years and is a mother to two wonderful young women.

Her experience started off in the corporate world and evolved to working to help and serve others through community service and now life coaching. Tamara does not coach from the mind, but rather intuitively from the heart. She works with clients, primarily adults, most of whom are parents, to help them shift issues from their head to their heart, by helping them to remove limiting beliefs, programming or blocks that prevent them from fulfilling their true potential and living the lives that they choose to live. She helps clients to address their issues holistically by looking at their body, mind and soul. Through discussion and intuitive questioning, she guides clients to explore their thoughts, their emotions and their energy in order to find the answers that already lie within them in a space of love, acceptance, confidentiality and security, free from any and all judgement.

By helping parents to create shifts in their lives, they will see their children shift as well.

Throughout her life journey, she has come to realize that working on these aspects, acknowledging them rather than suppressing them, and eventually healing them is absolutely crucial to assist us during this time of great transformation on Earth as we shift to a higher consciousness, individually, as well as collectively. In addition to coaching, Tamara is also certified in several energy healing modalities including Reiki and Rahanni Celestial and she is a multidimensional channeler and activator of Light Language, a frequency technology that brings through powerful light codes of healing, love, truth and wisdom.

Sean Illing talks with economic historian Brad DeLong about his new book Slouching Towards Utopia. In it, DeLong claims that the "long twentieth century" was the most consequential period in human history, during which the institutions of rapid technological growth and globalization were created, setting humanity on a path towards improving life, defeating scarcity, and enabling real freedom. But... this ran into some problems. Sean and Brad talk about the power of markets, how the New Deal led to something approaching real social democracy, and why the Great Recession of 2008 and its aftermath signified the end of this momentous era.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #508 is an hour of powerful visionary acoustic improvisational music featuring the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, kalimba, dulcimer, ukulele, acoustic guitar, shruti box and percussion, Bob Sherwood on piano, Craig Harris on congas and Native drums and our newest member, flautist and percussionist Cevher Demirel.  Today's show was recorded completely live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington Massachusetts in the Berkshires in November 2022.  The band begins the hour with “Beneath The Brilliant Blue”, a driving, psychedelic piece that begins as a sweet, legato exploration and slowly, slowly builds to a driving, powerful anthem driven by Mariam's inspirational words and melodies.  “Let's Try Harder To Keep Awakening” is a lush, swirling cloud of a song built around Mariam's chiming thumb piano.  Bob extrapolates the E minor key of the kalimba through a series of dizzying modal shifts as Cevher's rhythmic flute and Craig's bouncing congas hold the piece in context.  Shifting into modern electronic textures and ultimately into a crisp blues complete with dashing flute solos from Cevher, the piece distinguishes itself with a casual, playful virtuosity.  “Hail To Everything” is deep forest music, dancing Native flute from Mariam, druidic, obsessive piano from Bob and a powerful, compelling percussion underpinning from Craig and Cevher.  “Calling You Home Now” is a gorgeous Eastern folk song that unwinds mysteriously from Mariam's chiming ukulele in minor.  Shaded, midnight chord changes ride a maddening edge between Indian and Western Classical music and Cevher weaves evocative flute lines through this unsettled, compelling piece that slowly builds to a strange and driving groove.  Equally shaded and nocturnal is the darkly charismatic “Spice In Your Life”, another song draped in Cevher's flute and Mariam's winding melodies, the piece ramps up in energy to a sparse, rocking afro-cuban workout with tight, ambitious piano figures from Bob and driving congas from Craig.   “Great Transformation” is today's closing piece, a powerful raga with a masterful lyric and melody from Mariam.  The weaving of Cevher's flute and Mariam's vocal reaches its zenith on this powerful piece underpinned by the twin drones of Mariam's shruti box and dulcimer.  Learn more about Mariam here: http://www.mariammassaro.com

Arizona Republican Chair Kelli Ward says GOP candidates want to enforce election law, secure the border, preserve our God given rights codified in The Constitution. She says Marxist Dems are focused on reshaping our country, The Great Transformation as Obama called it and not one of the top six Marxist leaders has done anything to make life better for Americans. We have high crime, high inflation, outrageous gas, housing and food prices.  It's sad what these Marxist Dems have done to Americans and to our Nation. Children are being abused in public schools by Marxist Dems who want children to transition without parental permission. Parents who oppose it are told they're child abusers. It's one of the greatest sicknesses of our time.   GUEST: KELLI WARD, ARIZONA REPUBLICAN CHAIR

Economic changes bring prosperity, but not without cost. The globalization of how we produce and consume has left many American workers in dead end jobs without prospects for advancement. Some critics of this change have argued for the necessity of walls to protect American industries from global competition and labor exploitation. In his new book The Wall and The Bridge: Fear and Opportunity in Disruption's Wake, Glenn Hubbard argues for bridges to economic opportunity.

Brown University economist Mark Blyth sets the stage for Season 6 of On The Job by telling the story of how we got where we are today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today Jeffrey Epstein talks with Asad Zaman about the 2001 edition of Karl Polanyi's 1944 book, The Great Transformation. Professor Zaman is a PhD economist based in Pakistan, with many lectures, papers, and posts on the topic. The Great Transformation reveals, essentially, that what we think to be a foundation of our economy and society is, in fact, an illusion. Specifically, Polanyi calls capitalism and its free or "self-regulating" market "a stark Utopia". By definition, a Utopia (an imagined place where everything is perfect) is impossible to achieve. However, the attempt to achieve it – to eliminate literally all market regulation – can result only in the complete destruction of all human life and the land they live on. This is evidenced by our increasingly likely extinction at the hands of a human-created ecological crisis, caused largely by unprecedented and still-growing levels of inequality and the mass exploitation of all natural resources, including most human beings.Here's Polanyi, on the first page of the first chapter:Our thesis is that the idea of a self-adjusting market implied a stark utopia. Such an institution could not exist for any length of time without annihilating the human and natural substance of society; it would have physically destroyed man and transformed his surroundings into a wilderness.Unfortunately, the only way to maintain the fiction of the self-regulating market, is to continue the mass exploitation of the poor. Instead of treating human beings as the infinitely precious and unique beings they are, they are rather treated as mere interchangeable and disposable cogs to run the Unending Greed Machines; most often under terrible conditions. Polanyi calls this grave maltreatment the commodification of labor.The only way to get human beings to submit to these terrible conditions, is to threaten them with an even more terrible condition: starvation and death. As quoted in the book, starvation "can tame even the wildest beast". Not even the strongest man can overcome it.How is this starvation made possible? By eliminating the possibility of self sufficiency. A major tool to do this was the invention of the concept of the private ownership of land. This justified the ejection of all former occupants, who must now, for example, in modern society, purchase our food at a distant store. We have to drive to that store, and the food, plus the car and its gas, must all be paid for with money, which in turn can only be obtained by laboring at the Greed Machines. What this all means is that the commodification of labor also requires the commodification of the land.Those being potentially annihilated by the destruction of the self-regulating market resist that destruction. This results in what Polanyi calls the double movement. This is the ideological battle that has raged for centuries, where one side tries to eliminate all market regulation, while the other tries to protect itself by imposing some. When the amount of regulations are only enough to moderately reduce that destruction, as is unfortunately most often the case, then the resistance can only perpetuate and further enable the pursuit of that stark Utopia.What underlies and justifies this horror is the most dominant religion in the world, which is greed. Without Polanyi's book and his work, this religion, and its byproducts of inequality and mass exploitation, are made to appear normal, inevitable, and unstoppable – in other words, natural. The truth that Polanyi's history reveals (and as is reinforced by my recent interview with Wesley Wiles)is that inequality, exploitation, and greed are not "unfortunate, but necessary", they're deliberate choices. Those who benefit most from the self-regulating market have incentive to deceive the rest of us into thinking that these terrible things are indeed natural. This is the role played by neoclassical economics: to provide that official, neutral, and natural-sounding justification.The core problem in our society is not "capitalism" or "the free market", per se, but rather the mass exploitation of the poor. Therefore, the core solution is to empower the poor. The nature of this empowerment is simple: provide them with what they desperately need: like healthcare, education, a job, un-poisoned water, and a world that doesn't threaten to collapse around them. These things all serve to empower the poor which ultimately reduces inequality – of both wealth and income.We will annihilate the fiction of the self-regulating market or it will annihilate us. There is no gray area. We will provide for those on the bottom or we will go extinct. The first step is to emancipate ourselves from the chains of false history and false economics, and from the idea that everything horrible is "unfortunate, but necessary". Only then can we take a step back and start thinking of alternatives.As a final note, you'll hear some of Professor Zaman's thoughts on the potential form a sustainable future society might take. These are not ideas from the book but his own, in an attempt to start a discussion on one of the greatest questions of our time: how do we resist and annihilate the self-regulating market, and what can and will society be like when we do? Perhaps you have some ideas of your own. Let's start that discussion.Chapters9:27 - Hellos10:35 - The commodification of labor - what it really means14:41 - The fantasy of power, to vent the frustration of being powerless17:01 - The self-regulating market is a fiction and a stark Utopia.

Unfortunately, although the hosts say many smart things, they still live solidly in a pay-for, scarcity, zero-sum world. Please consider contacting the hosts via Twitter and urging them to interview an MMT guest such as Stephanie Kelton, Warren Mosler, Bill Mitchell, and Randy Wray.

This month, we will have four special episodes hosted by our correspondent,Jeffrey Esptein. Today, he will talk author Jackson Winter about the 2001 edition of the Karl Polyani book, “The Great Transformation” Jackson is co-writer and editor for PEGS Institute, which is a project to demystify and explain some commonly misunderstood realities of the modern world. The Great Transformation is the centuries-long history of how our current rentier capitalism came to be, and what preceded it. It reveals that much of what we believe to be inevitable and unchangeable, or natural about our society is, in fact, a deliberate choice. Those who most benefit from this system (the rentiers, those who collect rent) would like nothing more than for the rest of us (those who pay rent) to believe this system and their unending greed to be natural, inevitable, unchangeable and, indeed, best for everyone.

Global governance, often the domain of economists, bankers, and those with tin foil hats is essential if humanity has any hope of facing the existential problems of today. We need strong, democratic institutions, and a global voice for and of the people. Long resigned to science fiction and the aspirations of tyrants, can we build a global government that drives humanity forward? One that creates a more fair and just world? We're joined by global governance expert Augusto Lopez-Claris and economist & philosopher Vivek Dehejia to explore.
