(This interview was recorded before the market chaos of this week.) On this week’s episode of Merryn Talks Money, Merryn Somerset Webb sits down with economist James Galbraith, who says there’s a problem with economists. The problem, he says, is that almost all of them are working with the wrong models. They look at economics in terms of equilibrium, as though the natural destination of an economy is “some kind of stable state,” Galbraith says. But absolutely nothing else tends to equilibrium.

The Weekly Tradecast looks at how we can bridge inequality in the global economy and create a fairer system with economist, academic and author James Galbraith. In recent decades, the economic centre of gravity has been shifting with the growing presence of big developing countries on the world stage. But many gaps and inequalities persist – just as climate change, rapid changes in technology and major shifts in geopolitics are transforming the way we live and reshaping the future of the planet. With so much to deal with, what are the priorities so that developing countries can be resilient and prosperous? Tune in to James Galbraith from the University of Texas at Austin to find out how we can get on the right track to a more sustainable and inclusive future.

James Galbraith er en amerikansk økonom og professor ved Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs i Austin, Texas. Måske kender du hans efternavn, for hans far, John Kenneth Galbraith, var en umådeligt indflydelsesrig økonom, der i årtier var knyttet til Det Hvide Hus og formidlede økonomi i populære bøger som The Affluent Society. James Galbraith er fortsat i sin fars fodspor, og hans nye bog Entropy Economics, der udkommer senere i denne måned, er udgangspunktet for ugens udgave af Langsomme Samtaler. I bogen gør Galbraith og hans medforfatter, professor Jing Chen, op med, hvad de mener er årtiers fejlslagen økonomisk tænkning og præsenterer i stedet et nyt grundlag for at tænke over økonomiske spørgsmål – et grundlag med rod i livsprocesser. I løbet af samtalen når Lykkeberg og Galbraith også forbi oligarkernes indflydelse på det amerikanske demokrati, årsagerne til Bidens fejlslagne industripolitik samt hvilke konsekvenser Trumps tariffer risikerer at få for Europas økonomi.

On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech in North Carolina outlining her economic platform, including a federal ban on price gouging, expanded tax credits, and more. The proposal to tackle corporate price gouging has sparked significant pushback from both the establishment wing of the Democratic Party and various factions within the Republican Party. About a year ago, we spoke with economist James Galbraith on the back porch of his Vermont childhood home, where he was raised by John Kenneth Galbraith—one of the 20th century's leading policymakers and thinkers on government regulation of prices. Today, we're revisiting that conversation, which originally aired on July 7, 2023.James K. Galbraith is a professor of government and business relations at the University of Texas at Austin. Galbraith has an extensive history of working in government, including as executive director of the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress and an economist for the House Banking Committee. Galbraith joins Ryan Grim to discuss the implementation of price controls by the U.S. government, how it brings down prices, how the Biden administration has used it and could use it more, and how Galbraith's father — economist and politician John Kenneth Galbraith — was instrumental in setting price controls during World War II.

Robert Misik in conversation with James Galbraith INFLATION, SANCTIONS AND INDUSTRIAL POLICYThoughts on the Disorder in Economic Thought   James K. Galbraith, one of the leading left-wing American economists, examines the economic policy debates in the USA and Europe: inflation has led to real wage losses in Europe, but also to rising costs for companies, particularly in industry. However, the USA has been quicker to get inflation under control and, with the Biden administration's “Inflation Reduction Act”, has put together a package of investments in infrastructure as well as subsidies for ecological transformation. But is this the new form of industrial policy that is needed? Galbraith is skeptical. In Europe, on the other hand, the spectre of “de-industrialization” is already being raised, not least due to the rise in energy prices and production costs in general. How can the European economy respond to this? The programs to date are little more than a drop in the ocean. What needs to be done to achieve a prosperous economy that lifts all boats, not just the luxury yachts? Justice, innovation and ecological transformation – do they go together?   James Galbraith is an American economist. He is currently a professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and at the Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin. He is also a Senior Scholar with the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College and part of the executive committee of the World Economics Association, created in 2011.

This special episode features Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg. About a year ago, on Groundhog Day 2021, Ellsberg came my peace studies class. He was prepared to answer questions from students, which he did, but only after being surprised by a number of luminaries who had previously agreed to join us. The surprise guests included James Galbraith, Peter Kuznick, Katharine Gun, and Peter Dale Scott. The class—Peace Studies of the American Century—is one that I developed in collaboration with American University history professor Peter Kuznick and filmmaker Oliver Stone.  Daniel Ellsberg is the author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, and The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. His life story is the subject of The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, the Oscar-nominated documentary that Edward Snowden credited for inspiring his own act of whistleblowing. Lastly, we are joined by former CIA officer John Kiriakou, the heroic individual who went to jail for blowing the whistle on CIA torture. He was kind enough to offer his own very memorable tribute to Daniel Ellsberg.

Activist #MMT - podcast

Welcome to episode 76 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with seventh-year MMT activist Bill Peeples. Bill earned a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He then opened a retail computer store and managed his business with accounting software. This served as his introduction to double-entry accounting, for which he received some extra support from his father who is a Certified Public Accountant. Bill later worked for a major computer manufacturer, using computer programming and data analytics to determine why certain systems fail. All of this is to say, logic comes easily to Bill, and this helped him to very quickly pick up some important concepts underlying Modern Money Theory, or MMT. (Here is a link to __PART_TWO__.) Bill wants to understand accounting all the way down to the individual transaction. In the context of economics, this is essentially the atomic level. Understanding this level of detail, Bill says, makes the aggregate become more clear. It also turns some of what is commonly portrayed as scary and complicated, into something decidedly mundane. An example is how the public is often told that China may "dump its debt“ and that this is somehow a threat or even potential act of war against the United States. A related insight I recently learned from Bill is the very concise and simple idea that only the issuer can create and delete its own money (this includes bonds, treasuries, and securities).

Welcome to episode 76 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with seventh-year MMT activist Bill Peeples. Bill earned a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He then opened a retail computer store and managed his business with accounting software. This served as his introduction to double-entry accounting, for which he received some extra support from his father who is a Certified Public Accountant. Bill later worked for a major computer manufacturer, using computer programming and data analytics to determine why certain systems fail. All of this is to say, logic comes easily to Bill, and this helped him to very quickly pick up some important concepts underlying Modern Money Theory, or MMT. (Here is a link to __PART_TWO__.) Bill wants to understand accounting all the way down to the individual transaction. In the context of economics, this is essentially the atomic level. Understanding this level of detail, Bill says, makes the aggregate become more clear. It also turns some of what is commonly portrayed as scary and complicated, into something decidedly mundane. An example is how the public is often told that China may "dump its debt“ and that this is somehow a threat or even potential act of war against the United States. A related insight I recently learned from Bill is the very concise and simple idea that only the issuer can create and delete its own money (this includes bonds, treasuries, and securities). After being created and before being deleted, the money and bonds can do nothing but change ownership. “Dumping its debt” is a hyperbolic term meaning to sell off its entire holdings of US bonds. First of all, given the nature of the Chinese economy, it’s extremely unlikely that they would ever choose to do this. But even if they did, what Bill’s insight reveals is that China would do nothing more than exchange their bonds for cash.

At the end of the 1980s, China's leaders came close to implementing the kind of economic shock therapy reforms that a few years later caused a social and economic catastrophe in the former Soviet Union and much of eastern Europe. A moment of enormous significance for Chinese and world history, Isabella Weber explains how and why China came to the brink of initiating an economic "big bang", and why ultimately the leadership chose to pursue a gradualist process of market reform instead.

Robert Misik in conversation with James Galbraith The global Covid-19 pandemic has effected a revolution in world economic affairs. The liberal (or more properly, neo-liberal) economic systems of Europe, North America and Latin America have handled the crisis poorly. China, Vietnam, South Korea, Taiwan and Cuba have done remarkably well. Why is this so? What does it portend? James Galbraith argues that it was precisely the most celebrated features of the liberal Western systems – decentralization, post-industrialism, the hegemony of finance and advanced technologies, reliance on markets, willingness to trade public health against economic objectives – that brought them low in the face of the pandemic. Success occurred in those countries that mounted an immediate, centralized public health response, that could effectively lock down in whole or part, that were willing to sacrifice all economic activity temporarily to public health, and that dominated the production of basic manufactures such as personal protective equipment and so were able immediately to underpin behavioral mandates with material capacity. It was a matter, in other words, of whether it was possible to mobilize the whole society to protect public health, or not. Looking forward, the new Biden administration in the United States will launch a large, coordinated public health initiative, together with patchwork fiscal assistance and income support, to get the United States through the immediate crisis. Success is far from certain. And in the aftermath, even if the pandemic is contained over the next year, the American (and European) economic model will face a profound restructuring in three major areas: the advanced sectors, which provide US strength in world trade; the services sectors, which provide the jobs; and the financial sector, as unpayable private debts will have to be written down. James Kenneth Galbraith is an American economist, with a chair at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, the University of Texas at Austin. He has advised political campaigns in America and governments in China and Greece. He served in the early 1980s as Executive Director of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress. His father, John Kenneth Galbraith, was one of the most celebrated economists of all time, and a participant and adviser in US governments from Roosevelt through Kennedy and Johnson.

Welcome to episode 58 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with Marxist academic and blogger, Jim Kavanagh (Twitter/@). Jim has taught at Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and Wesleyan Universities. He was also a regular guest on the internet radio show with Brian Becker and John Kiriakou. He is currently an author at and editor at . Jim wrote his , or MMT, in January 2018, only one month before I discovered MMT. His second MMT post was written in September that year, which is how I discovered his work. The post is called and it had a great influence on me in my early learning. It is now the final item in to read for those interested in an introduction to MMT. Jim’s post lays out why the MMT lens is so powerful, by describing in great detail how detrimental the myth of taxpayer money really is. Here's a choice quote from the article: In saying that taxation is not a funding source for government spending, this analysis puts the focus on taxation as a matter of political and social decision – a decision made from a position of power, not dependence. It allows us to make spending decisions without asking the rich for a damn thing. Imagine we’re in a meeting to decide on a new social program (‘cause we are), and there are two possible ways to set the agenda: 1) Let’s figure out how much tax we’ll have to collect from the rich. Or, 2) Let’s ignore those fuckers and do what we want. Which is more radical? To answer that question, you have to understand that the second agenda is possible. The radical possibility of budgetary decision-making independent of the rich is contained in the fact that money is created by a public authority—a fact that fundamentally undermines any “taxation is theft” or “government spending is parasitic” argument. This package holds powerful potential for leftists, if they’ll open it. Right off the bat, for example, it allows you to say: “Abolish payroll taxes!” Not a bad place for progressive class politics to start. Jim’s , which serves as the bouncing off point for our conversation, is on the century-long myth that Social Security can only be viable if its trust funds have sufficiently large numbers written in them. In reality, the trust funds are useless, non-functioning, appendages. This means that eliminating the payroll taxes that feed the trust funds, can only cause problems for Social Security recipients, if our federal representatives want it to cause a problem. There is no inherent connection between the size of the trust funds and the viability of the Social Security program. As University of Texas at Austin economics professor, James Galbraith, says, "The exercise of linking future benefits and projected payroll tax revenues is an accounting farce, done for political reasons." In other words, the Social Security trust funds (in addition to those attached to Medicare and even Bernie Sanders’ proposed Medicare for All) are an entirely-artificial constraint that serve to choke off benefits that could indeed be fully paid, with little to no financial or inflationary concerns. The trust funds also promote the insidious notion that basic human needs can only be met by paying for them. It implies that anyone who can’t pay due to centuries of systemic discrimination, is incorrectly characterized as somehow less deserving of basic human rights. Jim and I also talk about his view of MMT as a Marxist academic. He believes MMT to be an accurate description of how the fiat money system works and that it provides a necessary but incomplete (or not sufficient) basis for a critique of modern capitalism. Unlike mainstream economics, however, MMT doesn’t preclude those more extreme things from happening. As many Marxists believe, Jim wants to take the means of production away from capitalists and place it into the hands of workers. Although MMT’s job guarantee is, in a sense, a patch on our flawed system of capitalism, it is also a huge step towards empowering workers, who can...

At the beginning of the pandemic, many in the US seemed to view public health measures like lockdowns and social distancing and economic recovery as a tradeoff. But economist Dr. James Galbraith says this is an incorrect assumption, and that early failures to contain the virus mean the US now has uncontrolled spread and a less resilient economy. Galbraith talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the current state of the US economy, the failure of the government to launch an effective public health response, why another shutdown may be necessary, and what we need to think about to address urgent economic impacts to low-income and minority populations hit hard by the pandemic.

Do we, as Americans, have the will, the ideas, the courage or the leadership to care for the sick, protect the vulnerable, and then, revitalize our economy and fix the ugly aspects of our society that Covid-19 has exposed? Michael discusses these big issues with James K. Galbraith, a scholar, author and one of the pre-eminent economists of our time. Generations ago, when America faced the fallout of the Great Depression and World War II, James' father, John Kenneth Galbraith was the legendary economic thinker who Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy turned to help steer America and and re-shape the post-war society. ************** Protect Your Online Privacy with ExpressVPN!

New Integrity Music artist Alisa Turner is no stranger to tragedy. She lost her worship leader Dad to a sudden heart attack when she was a 20-year old aspiring Nashville singer-songwriter, was bedridden for six years with Lymes Disease, and lost her infant son, London, 71 minutes after he was born. Yet, her heart looms large with love for God, worship, and others, and her laughter and smiles are truly infectious. In this deeply personal episode, John Chisum and Alisa dig into how she has managed to stay not only positive, but outright effervescent in the face of such losses and offer to the world an endless sense of hope despite the pain. Her worship is deep and the solid biblical foundations of her life support the profound and powerful messages in her songs. The Integrity Music Press Release says of Turner, “Worship artist Alisa Turner sings with passion and vulnerability.

An interview with James Galbraith author of The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too. The cult of the free market has dominated economic policy-talk since the Reagan revolution of nearly thirty years ago. Tax cuts and small government, monetarism, balanced budgets, deregulation, and free trade are the core elements of this dogma, a dogma so successful that even many liberals accept it. But a funny thing happened on the bridge to the twenty-first century. While liberals continue to bow before the free-market altar, conservatives in the style of George W. Bush have abandoned it altogether. That is why principled conservatives - the Reagan true believers - long ago abandoned Bush. Galbraith first dissects the stale remains of Reaganism and shows how Bush and company had no choice except to dump them into the trash. He then explores the true nature of the Bush regime: a "corporate republic," bringing the methods and mentality of big business to public life; a coalition of lobbies, doing the bidding of clients in the oil, mining, military, pharmaceutical, agribusiness, insurance, and media industries; and a predator state, intent not on reducing government but rather on diverting public cash into private hands. In plain English, the Republican Party has been hijacked by political leaders who long since stopped caring if reality conformed to their message. Galbraith follows with an impertinent question: if conservatives no longer take free markets seriously, why should liberals? The real economy is not a free-market economy. It is a complex combination of private and public institutions, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, higher education, the housing finance system, and a vast federal research establishment. The real problems and challenges -- inequality, climate change, the infrastructure deficit, the subprime crisis, and the future of the dollar -- are problems that cannot be solved by incantations about the market. They will be solved only with planning, with standards and other policies that transcend and even transform markets. Galbraith teaches economics and a variety of other subjects at the Lyndon Johnson School of Public Affairs. He directs the University of Texas Inequality Project, an informal research group at the LBJ School, is a Senior Scholar of the Levy Economics Institute, and is chair of Economists for Peace and Security, a global professional association.
