Podcasts about Karl Marx

Episode 4156 │ June 22, 2026 The silence around the killing of children is not a failure of the system. It is the system working exactly as designed. Dispatch One names it. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Dispatch One of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Donald Trump opens a five-part series built on months of research by applying Karl Marx's dialectical method — not his ideology — to the documented record of what the world's power structure is actually doing to its most vulnerable: 20,000 confirmed children killed in Gaza, 175 children killed in a pink schoolhouse in southern Iran by a US Tomahawk missile aimed by an AI targeting system that didn't know it was a school, 12 million children in modern slavery generating $236 billion annually, and 40,000 children mining coltan in armed-group-controlled Congo for supply chains confirmed by Global Witness to include Sony, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. The banking system keeps running, the arms contracts keep flowing, the UN Security Council keeps issuing statements, and 1,118 people were convicted last year against a $236 billion global industry — and Scott Kesterson names what that pattern actually is: not failure, not incapacity, but a permission structure — a deliberate institutional choice about what children are worth made by people with the power to choose otherwise. The episode ends not with resolution but with a question: what would you expect if it was your child? KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the difference between institutional failure and a permission structure — and what does the documented record of banking continuity, arms contracts, supply chains, and Security Council vetoes prove about which one is operating? What does the coltan in your phone have to do with armed rebel groups in the Congo, children exposed to radiation in mining pits, and a US federal court that confirmed tech companies forced children to work to meet their demand — then absolved them legally? How does Karl Marx's dialectical method — strip away the theater, expose what is actually moving underneath — apply to the present moment without endorsing the ideology that destroyed a hundred million lives?

He emphasizes the importance of fatherhood, accountability, and raising resilient children, arguing that overindulgence and cultural trends are weakening character formation. The commentary blends historical perspective with a critique of modern parenting and society through the lens of Markowski Investments.

This video presents a powerful contrast between the legacies of Karl Marx and D.L. Moody, using their graves in London's Highgate Cemetery as symbolic bookends of opposing worldviews. It critiques Marx's ideology—rooted in the abolition of private property, God, and the family, and grounded in revolutionary upheaval—as a philosophy that, despite claiming to liberate humanity, resulted in widespread oppression and death. In contrast, the sermon exalts Moody's life and ministry as a testament to true liberation through faith in Christ, emphasizing the enduring impact of the Gospel on individuals and society. The central message calls listeners to reflect on their own legacy, urging a life defined not by cultural or political ideologies, but by obedience to God and the transformative power of the truth found in Jesus Christ.

El escritor liberal analiza el futuro de la región y desmonta los mitos totalitarios en su nueva obra, ‘Nazi-Comunismo'. Iberoamérica vive uno de sus momentos políticos más intensos y polarizados de las últimas décadas. Presidentes que generan pasiones globales, batallas ideológicas sin cuartel y países que oscilan entre el colapso y la transformación radical. Además, se suman las recientes elecciones en Colombia y en Perú, así como el fenómeno que causa el presidente argentino, Javier Milei. Esta semana, en Economía para Quedarte sin Amigos, contamos con Axel Kaiser, escritor, pensador liberal, abogado, profesor universitario y presidente de la Fundación para el Progreso de Chile, para analizar el mapa político del continente y presentar su libro Nazi-comunismo, publicado por Editorial Deusto, en el que defiende que nazismo y comunismo son dos caras de la misma moneda. Apoyándose en fuentes primarias, muchas de ellas solo disponibles en alemán, Kaiser argumenta que el nazismo y el marxismo-leninismo comparten cinco elementos esenciales. "La gente no va a poder creer cómo la identidad ideológica criminal del marxismo es la misma que tiene el nazismo", señala Kaiser, que también recuerda que los propios Mises y Hayek ya advirtieron de ello. Que el mismo Mussolini llevara una medalla de Karl Marx en el bolsillo durante años, o que Hitler tomara ideas directamente de Marx para incorporarlas a su matriz ideológica, son datos que el libro documenta con precisión y que explican por qué la descalificación fácil de "facho" sigue siendo una herramienta para cerrar debates.Música Esta semana, la protagonista de nuestra selección musical es el grupo hispano-argentino Los Rodríguez.

Um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros. Marxista, que teve uma carreira brilhante na academia, como professor da USP e da PUC em São Paulo. Houve um período em que teve que ficar afastado, por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual. Uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Este foi Paul Singer, personagem do documentário que faz parte de uma série de documentários de não ficção realizados pelo diretor Ugo Giorgetti. Este terceiro episódio sobre a série teve a colaboração por meio de entrevistas com o ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, a jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer.  Roteiro Liniane Brum: Paul Singer, uma utopia militante: esse episódio é o terceiro de uma série sobre os documentários e as peças de não ficção do diretor de cinema Ugo Giorgetti.  Meu nome é Liniane Brum, sou doutora em teoria e crítica literária pela Unicamp e realizei a pesquisa de pós-doutorado “Contra o apagamento – o cinema de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti” também na Unicamp, no Labjor, com o apoio da Fapesp. [Trilha musical] Liniane: A partir do ano de 2020, Ugo Giorgetti assina três documentários biográficos. São produções realizadas sob encomenda, que têm em comum a apresentação de homens que se destacaram em suas áreas de atuação e como pessoas também. São filmes que não partem de uma inquietação artística ou de uma necessidade intelectual. Ainda assim, são autorais.  Estou falando dos filmes Paul Singer, uma utopia militante, produção de 2021, A invenção de Conrado Wessel, de 2024, e Alberto Dines – vínculos de liberdade, que saiu em 2026. Neste episódio vamos tratar de Paul Singer, uma utopia militante. Eu conversei com três pessoas sobre esse documentário. O economista, produtor do filme e ex-aluno de Singer, Marcos Barreto, que me ajudou a entender os bastidores da produção. A jornalista e pesquisadora Paula Quental, autora de uma dissertação de mestrado sobre a trajetória política e intelectual de Singer, e Marcelo Justo, diretor executivo do Instituto Paul Singer. [Vinheta Oxigênio] Liniane: Antes de mais nada, pedi a eles que apresentassem quem foi Paul Singer.   Paula Quental: Ele era de uma família judia, assimilada, como se diz, não era religiosa. Ele vinha da Áustria, a mãe percebeu para onde caminhava a coisa do nazismo. Ele conta, inclusive tá na dissertação, que ele descobriu que era judeu, aos seis anos de idade, quando a Áustria foi anexada por Hitler. Aí, chegaram os amiguinhos dele do colégio, com aquelas bandeirinhas nazistas, com a suástica, e ele queria sair junto (com os meninos) com aquela bandeirinha. Aí, a mãe dele vira para ele e diz: “mas, Paul, você é judeu”. Marcos Barreto: É um dos mais importantes economistas brasileiros, marxista e veio com sete anos fugindo do nazismo, com a mãe, o pai já havia falecido, ele veio com a mãe para São Paulo, e ele faz um curso técnico primeiro, ele começa a trabalhar como metalúrgico, só depois ele vai fazer faculdade. E vai fazer faculdade por conta de uma militância política dele, porque o sindicato, o movimento, achava, o mesmo movimento operário, que eles deveriam se qualificar as lideranças, e sugerem que ele vai fazer economia, e ele faz economia, ele se forma já com quase 30 anos, e ele depois tem uma carreira brilhante na academia, professor da USP, foi professor da PUC em São Paulo também, no período que teve que ficar afastado por conta da ditadura militar no Brasil. Ele sempre teve uma militância política junto com a carreira acadêmica, e também como intelectual, uma figura muito inquieta, no sentido de que ele não se acomodava a um determinado tema. Paula Quental: Quando ele entrou na USP, ele já tinha lido o Capital, Trotsky, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburgo, que é muito da tradição dele, ele se considerava um luxemburguista. Então, é uma história de alguém que foi mergulhando nos clássicos e foi desenvolvendo um trabalho muito original, porque ele acabou indo para uma vertente, digamos, herética do marxismo, não convencional, heterodoxa, porque ele criticava, por exemplo, a União Soviética, ele criticava o centralismo da economia, ele defendia que deveria vir da base, da economia solidária, das cooperativas. Então, ele era um crítico da Revolução de 17 de outubro, da Revolução Bolchevique. Marcos Barreto: Depois, já mais nos últimos 20 anos da vida dele, ele se dedica a um tema muito importante, que é a economia solidária, então ali ele encontra talvez o assunto dos quais ele estudou, que mais ele pôde misturar uma militância política com um saber acadêmico, e colocou em prática, ele foi secretário de economia solidária no governo Lula e Dilma, até o impeachment da Dilma, praticamente ele ficou em Brasília coordenando essa Secretaria.  Liniane: Esta apresentação foi feita pela Paula e pelo Marcos. E por aí a gente já consegue ver uma trajetória bem particular, que mistura prática militante e teoria, o que já o difere de muitos intelectuais. Faltou o destaque que o Marcelo Justo fez do nosso protagonista, que trago agora. Marcelo Justo: Tem um marco na vida do Singer, tanto pessoal quanto como militante, que é trabalhar em grupo. Ele se destaca como intelectual e parece que o intelectual é uma figura sozinha, isolada, mas ele só tem essa força que ele tem pela capacidade de estar em grupo e de se conectar o Singer é o que a gente chama mais contemporaneamente de um articulador de redes, ele está sempre mantendo redes de amigos e de militantes juntos, que caminham juntos. Liniane: Marcos, como surge a ideia de um filme sobre ele, ou seja, quem fala: “olha, agora tem que ser feito um documentário sobre o Paul Singer”. Marcos Barreto: Quando ele falece, um grupo de amigos, de pessoas que gostavam muito do professor, dizem, bom, a gente precisa fazer alguma coisa pra contar essa história dele, precisamos registrar isso de alguma forma, fazemos um livro, fazemos o que? Não, vamos fazer um filme e aí a gente faz então uma campanha de crowdfunding, pra conseguir o recurso pra fazer o filme. O primeiro passo foi esse: nós não tínhamos diretor, nós não sabíamos exatamente que filme seria, mas a gente resolve fazer algo que tem muito a ver com a economia solidária, uma grande vaquinha, em todos os 27 estados do Brasil, no Distrito Federal, há pessoas que contribuíram pra que o filme fosse feito. E aí ficamos, então, pensando que diretor pode fazer esse filme, ou diretora? Quebramos a cabeça até que eu sugeri que fosse o Ugo Giorgetti.  Liniane: Por que Ugo Giorgetti?  Marcos Barreto: Porque, entre várias coisas, o Paul Singer escolheu a cidade de São Paulo, quer dizer, ele veio criança, ele não escolheu propriamente, foi a mãe dele que veio, porque já haviam familiares em São Paulo. Mas ele acaba vindo pra São Paulo e adota a cidade como a cidade dele. Ele era um apaixonado por São Paulo, falava isso várias vezes, ele voltava às vezes pra Europa, ia fazer palestra, dizendo que não tem nada como São Paulo.  Liniane: Assistindo o documentário, a gente percebe que Ugo Giorgetti traduz o Singer múltiplo. Os entrevistados comentam o olhar do diretor sobre suas conexões com figuras importantes da política, do campo da educação e mesmo e seu papel na difusão de O Capital, de Marx no Brasil. Foi ele quem primeiro traduziu o livro para o português.  Paula Quental: Teve uma passagem no documentário do Ugo Giorgetti, em que ele entrevista o Paul Singer, porque ele fez ainda várias entrevistas com o Paul Singer, em que o Singer lembra da época que ele dividiu o secretariado da Erundina com Paulo Freire. E ele fala que aprendeu muito com o Freire, que se sente extremamente influenciado pelo Freire. E isso até me estimulou a escrever uma sessão na minha dissertação, chamada Dois Paulos, em que eu analiso justamente o aspecto pedagógico da obra do Paul Singer, que ele próprio se coloca como muito influenciado pelo Freire. Marcos Barreto: Com essa amplitude que tem a vida do professor, as pessoas podiam conhecer um lado, mas pouca gente conhecia o todo, e o filme permite esse registro. E do ponto de vista acadêmico, é um registro interessante também, mais uma vez, sem ser algo cansativo, extenuante, chato, ou mais maçante, vamos dizer assim, porque ele está ali, o registro da vida intelectual, de uma forma leve, de uma forma que você compreende e fala nossa, ele fez tudo isso, nossa, foi ele então que traduziu o Capital.  Liniane: No final dos anos 1950, professores da Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas da USP, dentre os quais José Arthur Gianotti, Fernando Henrique Cardoso e Ruth Cardoso, organizaram um grupo para fazer a leitura de O Capital. Paul Singer integra esse grupo com a missão de traduzir o livro diretamente do alemão. Não custa lembrar que se trata de uma obra canônica no campo das ciências humanas. E que naquele momento Paul Singer ainda não era o economista, intelectual destacado e homem público da alta burocracia governamental. Aqui, as falas de Marcelo, Marcos e depois a Paula. Marcelo Justo: Isso é um marco né? é um marco, acho que para o Singer, é um marco na esquerda brasileira também, porque é um primeiro momento falando pelos relatos deles, que vão se debruçar sobre a obra do Marx de uma forma sistemática, durante muitos anos, – que é interrompido com o golpe de 64, mas começa, se eu não me engano, em 58, 59 e aí vão para outros autores, não só Karl Marx, que aí vão pegar o Singer como um leitor, desde criança, do alemão. Então ele integra o grupo como quem vai ler, trazer a versão original do alemão, mas é que eles vão comparando também a tradução. Então tem a leitura em alemão, tem a leitura em francês, a leitura do que existia em português. Isso depois vai servir também como base para o Singer depois fazer a tradução, a primeira tradução original em alemão do Capital, aí já nos anos 80. A partir desse grupo sai a tese de doutorado do Fernando Henrique Cardoso, então acho que tem todos esses marcos. O professor Roberto Schwarz até hoje também se refere a esse momento, o professor Michael Löwy, que é conselheiro do nosso instituto, que foi muito amigo do Singer, também se refere até hoje como um marco na vida dele, esse momento de leitura do Capital. Marcos Barreto: E depois tem um segundo momento, que é muito rico também, quando ele é convidado por um grupo de jovens que diz assim: “poxa, a gente queria fazer uma leitura do Capital”. E aí veio a ideia de fazer uma leitura no Teatro de Arena. Então já pensou o que era isso? Você reunia no Teatro de Arena, já na ditadura militar – aí nós estamos falando de um Brasil já fechado do ponto de vista político – e esse grupo se reunia sábado de manhã para fazer a leitura do Capital com a coordenação do professor Paul Singer. Então isso é um marco também, e desta leitura ele também aproveitou, como bom acadêmico, e fez um livro sobre essa experiência. Paula Quental: Eu ouvi do Lincoln Seco, professor de História da USP, que ouviu do Florestan Fernandes, que ele é a pessoa que mais conheceu O Capital no Brasil. Ele editou uma edição da Abril Cultural do Capital, uma edição famosa do início dos anos 1980, que a editora Ubu agora reeditou. E ele lia no original, ele mergulhou, e desde uma externa idade. Liniane: Eu selecionei um trecho do documentário em que o próprio Paul  Singer fala sobre Marx. Ele integra o segmento intitulado por Ugo Giorgetti “Um autodidata na USP”. Ouve só: [Trecho do documentário] Paul Singer: Marx, em primeiro lugar, deu uma visão do capitalismo que ninguém havia dado antes, e que agora se mostra inteiramente verdadeira. Marx está sendo ressuscitado por não marxistas, exatamente como coincide, eu diria, de uma forma ultra surpreendente com este capitalismo extremamente em crises, crises que se repetem etc. porque ele entendeu, uma das coisas que tem Marx, a contribuição dele, é só dele, não é de outros, é que os economistas clássicos, tipo Ricardo, Adam Smith e tantos outros, que não eram reacionários, não, eles não eram de direita, mas eles jamais lembrariam em analisar a economia através de lutas de classes, isso é Marx.  [Efeito Sonoro] (Voz de Paul Singer bem baixinha) [Silêncio prolongado] [Trilha incidental] Liniane: Marcelo, o Instituto Paul Singer e o documentário nascem praticamente ao mesmo tempo e se dedicam à difusão do legado do professor. Em que medida essa coincidência influencia o trabalho da entidade? Marcelo Justo: O Instituto, ele começa em 2021, a organização dele. No final do ano é que ele se formaliza com o CNPJ, e em 2022 é lançado, tornado público o Instituto. Ele é uma iniciativa dos familiares do Paul Singer, basicamente eu e a Helena Singer, que é a minha esposa, filha dele. É uma associação sem fins lucrativos que tem como missão preservar e reinventar esse legado. Um legado que tem esse histórico de uma luta pela democracia, pela solidariedade, a luta contra todas as formas de injustiça e desigualdade. Marcelo Justo: O nosso principal desafio é a difusão, é a divulgação das ideias e obras do Singer. Então, um documentário como esse é muito importante, ajuda muito nisso em 50, 40 e poucos minutos, assim, você tem a trajetória inteira dele, da história de vida, as principais ideias e algumas das polêmicas enfrentadas na trajetória, na vida dele. Então, para a gente, é um material muito importante, muito rico para divulgar.  Liniane: É fato: documentário e Instituto convergem em objetivo e se fortalecem mutuamente. Porém, Marcos Barreto me explicou que o filme foi feito a partir de entrevistas realizadas em momentos diferentes. Na primeira, de 2015, Paul Singer é entrevistado pelo grupo que viria a produzir o documentário. A segunda é feita por Giorgetti, em 2018, antes do falecimento do professor. Já o Instituto, como Marcelo me contou, e formalizado em 2022. Marcos Barreto: O professor, no final da vida, já nos últimos anos, tinha alguns fatores de memória, algumas coisas que estavam começando a falhar. E a gente identificou isso, e a família, e a gente falou, bom, vamos gravar, vamos colocar o Paul Singer falando sobre a vida dele, sobre coisas que ele fez na vida que são marcantes, sobre passagens importantes, vamos quase que fazer uma entrevista com ele. E a gente fez duas sessões grandes com o professor, foi o Fernando Kleyman quem organizou isso, em Brasília. E ele então, por duas sessões de quase três, quatro horas, falou um monte, o que foi ótimo, porque quando a gente conseguiu resolver o dinheiro para fazer o filme, escolher o Ugo, etc, o professor havia já avançado na doença, já tinha dificuldade, o Ugo chegou a conversar com ele ainda em vida, o filme é lançado depois que o professor já faleceu. Liniane: O documentário foi divulgado na imprensa como uma produção que praticou a Economia Solidária. O que significaria essa afirmação, Marcelo? Marcelo Justo: Então, na economia solidária, democracia e autogestão são sinônimos, praticamente, nos escritos dele. Então, o que é isso? As pessoas se organizarem para produzir juntos, sem patrão e sem empregado. Todo mundo é cooperado.  Não é à toa que o documentário tem o nome da utopia militante, que esse é o título do livro dele, que ele se coloca a isso, né? A questão da utopia como uma militância. A militância dele é por essa utopia, que é uma utopia de construir um socialismo que seja democrático, que não seja a experiência do chamado socialismo real, que é uma ditadura de esquerda.  Liniane: Marcos também comentou sobre o termo utopia que está no título do documentário. E destacou, mais uma vez, a multiplicidade de papeis de Singer nos vários espaços em que atuou. Marcos Barreto: Esse título é tão forte e também resume tanto do que é o professor, porque justamente reúne essas duas facetas, que é uma pessoa que é um intelectual brilhante, professor titular da USP, com um militante que nunca deixou de ser militante. Ele foi estudar economia porque ele era um militante, e ele termina a vida como alguém que está pensando a economia solidária, que é algo prático, então ele não tava sendo um teórico da economia solidária, só que aí no meio desse percurso, já nessa última década da vida, nas últimas duas décadas, ele escreve esse livro, que é uma utopia militante, então ele assume ali o quê? Que ao mesmo tempo que ele está defendendo algo que é utópico, que é um desejo do que ele gostaria de ver acontecer, ele assume que aquilo só vai acontecer se tiver militância, ou seja, talvez aí, diferente do socialismo científico, que parte da ideia de que há uma evolução natural da história que vai ligar o socialismo, e que é algo que aliás o Singer não acreditava. Então o título, na verdade, quem escolheu foi o professor Paulo Singer, para o livro, e a gente quando viu, quando foi pensar no título do filme, a gente falou, putz, difícil achar um nome melhor do que Utopia Militante. Liniane: O documentário estreou no Festival Internacional É Tudo Verdade, em 2021, em um momento em que a letalidade do coronavírus alcançava um dos seus picos. Ele foi exibido de modo on-line, mediante a distribuição de duas mil senhas, que se esgotaram em poucos minutos. [Efeito sonoro] Liniane: “A trajetória política e intelectual de Paul Singer: da crítica marxista à Economia Solidária” é o título da dissertação de mestrado defendida por Paula Quental no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros, o IEB, da USP, a Universidade de São Paulo, em 2024.  Marcelo Justo, que é doutor em geografia pela mesma universidade, organizou o livro “Urbanização e Desenvolvimento”, uma coletânea de textos de Paul Singer. O volume foi editado pela Autêntica em parceria com a Fundação Perseu Abramo.  Marcos Barreto é hoje Diretor Geral do Instituto Equipe Educação, Cultura e Cidadania e Vice-Diretor Geral da Fundação Escola de Sociologia e Política de São Paulo (FESPSP), e segue engajado com a divulgação do legado de Singer.  [Vinheta de encerramento Oxigênio] Esse trabalho de divulgação sobre a obra de não ficção do cineasta Ugo Giorgetti é realizado no âmbito do Programa Mídia Ciência, do Labjor, com supervisão da Simone Pallone.  As entrevistas, o roteiro e a narração desse episódio foram feitos por mim, Liniane Brum. A revisão do roteiro é da Simone Pallone. A edição é do Guilherme Lopes, estagiário da Coordenadoria de Centros e Núcleos Interdisciplinares da Unicamp, a Cocen. A vinheta do Oxigênio é do Elias Mendez.  As trilhas usadas no podcast são de  Blue Dot Sessions, tiradas do Free Music Archive. A gente vai deixar a ficha técnica do filme na descrição do episódio.  As reportagens referentes à divulgação da obra de não ficção de Ugo Giorgetti foram publicadas no dossiê “Ugo Giorgetti” da Revista ComCiência.  Este episódio conta com o suporte da Diretoria Executiva de Apoio e Permanência, da Unicamp e da Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, a FAPESP, por meio de bolsas, e também da Secretaria Executiva de Comunicação da Unicamp.

Robert Owen was a factory owner, a social reformer, the father of British socialism… and possibly the nicest company-town tyrant in history.  Long before Karl Marx called for revolution, Owen tried to build a kinder version of capitalism: humane factories, universal education, shorter work days, and workers treated like human beings instead of expendable machinery.  His model industrial town at New Lanark became world famous, attracting kings, intellectuals, and even the Tsar of Russia.  But success convinced Owen he could go further. So he sold everything and moved to Indiana to build a socialist utopia from scratch. What followed was a chaotic experiment involving communal child rearing, endless committee meetings, militant intellectuals, religious clashes, labor shortages, and eventually… the ghost of Thomas Jefferson. In this episode, Heaton travels to Scotland to explore the strange rise and catastrophic collapse of Robert Owen's alternate-universe socialism—and asks whether history might have looked very different if Owenism, rather than Marxism, had become the dominant socialist tradition.

Two hundred and fifty years after Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, the economy looks very different from the world he described.Firms are bigger. Production is more centralized. AI and automation are changing what companies can do at scale. And yet markets still matter, perhaps more than ever, in deciding which firms rise, which fall, and how innovation spreads.In this episode of Central Questions, Stefan Ingves speaks with Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, about the rise of large corporations, the changing role of capital and labor, and what Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Hayek can still teach us about today's economy.They discuss why the largest firms now account for a growing share of output and assets, why employment has not concentrated in the same way, what AI could mean for productivity and inequality, and why financial markets may be crucial for spreading the gains from capital more broadly.Guest: Yueran Ma, Professor of Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of BusinessHost: Stefan Ingves, former Governor of the Riksbank and Senior Fellow at Swedish House of FinanceTopics: Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, Yueran Ma, Stefan Ingves, Central Questions, Swedish House of Finance, large firms, corporations, AI, automation, capital deepening, productivity, corporate finance, economic growth, financial markets, capitalism, Karl Marx, Hayek, visible hand, invisible hand, firm concentration, monetary policy, innovation, Chicago Booth

We have interviewed some amazing people over the past 20 years on Not The Footy Show and in this episode we catch up with yet another remarkable individual. Ron Anderson lost his sight in his early 30’s, and as a result he lost a great deal more as well. Working at the Braille Society as a recreation officer proved to be his calling as he threw his heart and soul into the role establishing many sports programs over the years. Now aged 85 Ron took the time to look back on some of his achievements with Ashley. In this first part of a two-part interview Ron talks about his adjusting to his blindness and his running in the Sydney City to Surf (Part Two of this interview will be in our next podcast). In our topics under conversation Ashley looks at why sports are playing under 17 or under 18 World Cups. There is a huge cost to the participating nations in not only sending teams to these tournaments but also in developing the players. If you are going to invest in such a program surely you would want to see a large number of the players progress to play at full international level, but the statistics show that very few of this cohort actually make it to that level. So why are International Federations and National Associations signing up for such events? John looks at a famous quote from German philosopher Karl Marx and asks if today he would say that Sport rather than religion is the opium of the people. They way it is discussed, the way politicians have attached themselves to sport to try and form a link with their constituents. It is not just the betting companies who have hijacked sport, everyone is trying to get the attention of sports fans.

Zdravo. Tokrat začnemo z razkritjem stoletja: krivec za nakup Patrij je končno znan: to je en opraskan Pinzgauer v Pivki, ki ga je “nekdo” obdrgnil. Izumimo tudi vilkend (vikend vila) in se vprašamo zakaj se otroci v šoli ne učijo (vse)življenjskih veščin in se pripeljemo do angelčkov parkiranja in do osnovnega vprašanja kapitalizma: če moraš po 23 letih popiti 100% več piva, da bi sledil triodstotni rasti, sistem očitno ne deluje. Dokazano na gajbi piva. QED.Vmes obdelamo še Marxa in razliko med idejo in tem, kar so iz nje naredili boljševiki, Stalin in še kdo. Pridemo do dognanja, da je srečen človek slab potrošnik in da, če bi se dolgčasa malo navadili, bi bil svet drugačen. Pri 4. poglavju Zadnje priložnosti pa skočimo na Novo Zelandijo, kjer so fjordi lepi, Douglas pa sedi v helikopterju, kar pa vemo, da ne pomeni nič dobrega. Vsaj zanj.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 Where did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... "Jewish"? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel "Gracchus" Babeuf, who derived many of his ideas for communist life from an obscure French thinker and tax official named Etienne-Gabriel Morelly. Morelly wrote a tract called The Code of Nature (https://www.marxists.org/subject/utopian/morelly/code-nature.htm ) in 1755 outlining what we recognize today as Communism. Babeuf took these ideas and tried to install them through his "Conspiracy of the Equals," which had a manifesto, "The Manifesto of Equals," (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/sylvain-marechal-manifesto-of-equals) written by his collaborator Sylvain Marechal in 1796. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core. Join him to learn the true origins of Communism.

NYC tenants say they were living in straight-up nightmare conditions while landlords kept collecting checks, and now the city just hit back with a $31 million judgment. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says what was once sold as “luxury you can afford” turned into years of dangerous living, broken apartments, and hundreds of violations in the Bronx.

Capitalism is in crisis. On this point all are agreed. But what is the crisis? How can it be solved? Is capitalism the 'end of history', as Francis Fukuyama famously said after the counter-revolutions in the USSR and Eastern Europe in 1989-91? Will capitalism simply 'sort itself out'? Is it the best of a bad lot, as Churchill and Thatcher maintain? OR is it up to you and me, the working people to lay hold of the means of production - the factories, mines, banks, offices, warehouses, shopping empires, shipping, rail, trucking conglomerates, and run them ourselves; to plan production sustainably to satisfy OUR basic needs and to meet OUR pressing interests. For what will be the cost exacted from the masses of working people of the world in 'blood and treasure' for capitalism's ongoing existence? Can the world bear yet more "belt tightening", poverty, misery, ill health, malnutrition, environmental degradation, unemployment - with all the physical and spiritual degradation that these entail - and deaths from economic and political causes - notably war and famine? And why? All so the few hundred billionaires can carry on amassing obscene amounts of wealth at our expense! In this talk, Ella Rule explains the economics of capitalism, including the basics of Karl Marx's Classic "Das Capital" and Lenin's "Imperialism". Only by understanding the problem, can we find a solution. How is value created? how is it amassed? Of what does exploitation consist (How are workers robbed of the values they create?) Watching this video introduction is a vital step - that takes us closer to the goal of building a movement with the understanding to tackle our parasitic and decadent ruling class; place workers in control; and enable us to build an economy that serves the interests of the vast masses of humanity. Please watch and help to spread it far and wide. You are welcome to repost it, but please acknowledge your source. "The capitalists are our implacable enemies. Their wealth is built upon our poverty, their joy upon our misery!" There is not a crime that capitalists will not commit to preserve their monopoly over the means of production, distribution and exchange. The only fitting punishment is to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains. Our revenge will be the laughter on the faces of our children. A better world is possible. ___________________________________ Subscribe! Donate!

“The end of labor means the end of paid slavery. And the opening up of freedom — that is to say, choice of how to spend your time. The only question, a big question, is how do you eat?” — Keith Teare Does capitalism have a future in our AI age? For Musk, Silicon Valley's baddest bad entrepreneur, the answer might surprise. Musk seems to think that in the long run, money and wealth will disappear in an age of abundant intelligence. Which, presumably, will include hundreds of billions of his own dollars. Although given Musk's determination to sue and take money from OpenAI, some might be slightly sceptical of his real faith in a post-money cornucopia. It's not just Musk and That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare who are reimagining capitalism in our AI age. The former World Bank chief economist, Branko Milanovic, drawing on Karl Marx and Adam Smith in equal measure, argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, things will become free — thereby creating the conditions for the destruction of capitalism. Keith agrees — and goes further than Milanovic. The end of paid labor, he insists, borrowing also from Marx, is not a catastrophe. It's the end of what he calls “paid slavery” and the opening of genuine freedom. I'm not so sure. If nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. The cult of the amateur. The future is of bad entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even worse artists. Hyper-capitalism in our age of AI. Five Takeaways •       The Musk-OpenAI Trial: A Big Yawn That Cost Millions: An Oakland jury rejected Elon Musk's claim against OpenAI in under two hours — not because OpenAI didn't do what Musk alleged, but because the statute of limitations had expired. Someone should have caught this before two weeks of trial. Musk has vowed to appeal, but it's hard to see how you get around a statute of limitations. Keith's verdict: sideshow, big yawn, ego contest. The lawyers won. The real question — who owns OpenAI after it converts to for-profit — was never going to be answered here. •       Sam Altman's Credibility Problem: The New York Times took five takeaways from the trial, one of which was that Sam Altman has a credibility problem. Keith's response: not new information. What the trial did reveal is the depth of mutual animosity between Musk and Altman — two people who, despite everything, share more beliefs about where AI is going than almost anyone else in the world. Keith on who he'd back in a Stalin vs Hitler choice: Stalin, 100 times out of 100. Which is not to say he's enthusiastic about either. •       Krugman on Europe: Right Analysis, Wrong Conclusion: Paul Krugman, touring Europe, argues that GDP per capita understates European quality of life. A third of US income buys more than a third of US lifestyle in Europe — healthcare, education, travel, housing are all significantly cheaper. Keith agrees with the analysis. His counter: Europe's structural hostility to innovation means it can maintain its lifestyle but not grow it. The social democratic model is sustainable until it isn't. It needs to unlock innovation or it will slowly fall behind. Hard to do when you're spending your time writing regulations. •       Milanovic's AI Thesis: When Things Are Free: Branko Milanovic — Marxist and neoclassical economist — argues that if AI eliminates the labor component of production, value in the classical Adam Smith/Ricardo/Marx sense disappears, and things approach free. Keith agrees and goes further: this isn't just Marxist logic, it's classical economics. The organic composition of capital. If variable capital — mostly labor — tends toward zero, costs tend toward zero, prices tend toward zero, and the distinction between capitalism and its opposite dissolves. Musk says the same thing. Agree or disagree, it's the most interesting economic argument of our time. •       The End of Paid Labor Is the End of Paid Slavery: Keith's most provocative position. The end of paid labor is not something to fear. It is freedom — the opening up of genuine choice about how to spend your time. What remains are human-to-human activities: care work, travel companionship, live music, the masseur. These will be in demand. They just won't constitute most of what 8 billion people do. The question of how the previously employed population participates in society — eats, lives, has purpose — is real and large. Keith's position: it's not an inconceivable problem. Andrew's counter: if nobody has to work, we'll all become bad artists. About the Guest Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter.

On the last two episodes of the Profile we discussed the influences of 19th-century German philosopher Karl Marx on our culture today. This week and next we'll be examining the influences of another popular 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche had a solid Christian upbringing in the Lutheran tradition and a loving relationship with his pastor father Ludwig. Why then did Nietzsche become so hostile toward Christianity in his mature philosophical thought and how do his ideas still influence us today? We'll be examining these and other questions this week and next on the Profile with author, pastor, and publisher with B&H Academic Dr. Michael McEwen. We'll be talking about his new book The Devil Reads Nietzsche - A Public Theology for the Post-Christian Age. Michael McEwen (PhD, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) is an author and publisher for B&H Academic and pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Trenton, Tennessee.

While the Berlin Wall no longer divides Germany, the ideas that led to its construction are still actively dividing our country today.  Sadly, Marxism is still alive and well and influencing a myriad of cultural divisions, mostly through our nation's colleges and universities.  This week and next on the Profile, we'll be examining some of the basics of Marxist ideology and how it has made inroads into our institutions of higher education with author, and president of Ratio Christi, Dr. Corey Miller. Miller will share his experiences and wisdom in engaging what he calls the "Progressive Miseducation of America" on college and university campuses and how we as Christians should be aware of it and how we can respond.

Send us Fan MailKarl Marx opens Das Kapital by warning that capitalism can turn people into things. Put that next to the UFC and suddenly a knockout isn't just a highlight, it's a product built from training bills, risk, and a body that can break on command. We walk through Dana White's rise from saving a struggling promotion to running a global mixed martial arts empire, then ask the harder question: what did the system require along the way?We break down the ideas that make the argument click. Commodity fetishism explains why the UFC sells “warriors” and “legacy” while hiding the labor underneath: the $30k camps, the brain trauma, the medical fallout, the contracts that control likeness rights and footage. Alienation shows up in the fine print too, with fighters classified as independent contractors, carrying their own costs and losing control over key parts of their work life.Then we follow the money. Surplus value helps explain why fighters reportedly receive only about 16% to 20% of UFC revenue while leagues like the NFL and NBA sit closer to 50% for players. We connect that gap to monopoly power as the UFC absorbs or outlasts competitors, and to the “industrial reserve army” effect of endless replacements on the regional scene and Dana White's Contender Series. The closing turn is on us: our clicks, buys, and shares keep the machine alive.If this shifts how you watch combat sports, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves MMA, and leave a review with your take: what would a fair UFC fighter pay model actually look like?

Pioniere der Geschichte zwischen Verfehlung und Vermächtnis. Ein Spezial-Podcast zum 1. Mai.

In this episode of The Mandy Connell Show, Mandy dives into the fascinating story of Victor Marx, a gubernatorial candidate with a mysterious past. She explores his claims of being a seventh-degree black belt in ketchie Do, a martial art he proudly wears as part of his identity. Mandy digs into the history of ketchie Do, revealing a web of lies and exaggerations surrounding its creator, Karl Marx, Victor's biological father. The conversation also touches on the state's budget crisis, the business climate in Colorado, and the latest news on the weather.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ABOUT BLACK BELT STATUS I spent this past weekend digging into claims made by Victor Marx. One of the ones I found the most curious is his claim that he is a "7th degree black belt in Cajun Karate Keichu-do a mixture of Karate / Jui-jitsu/ boxing" and it is a martial arts style created by Victor's late father Karl Marx. I tried to find out how one moves from belt to belt and couldn't find anything, and since that is a mystery, I thought we'd do some digging into more traditional forms of martial arts to see how it compares to jiu jitsu in terms of becoming a black belt. Today I've got an actual black belt in jiu jitsu Seth Rodenbaugh on at 2:30 to talk martial arts for a minute. He also happens to be half of the broadcast team with Of the Day Rob for From the Ashes podcast, which is a veteran focused show, and you can find their Facebook page here and their podcast here. Seth is also the owner of Obsidian Martial Arts in Parker, which you can find here, and a longtime blackbelt under Robert Drysdale.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Democratic Resurgence in Hungary Guest: Judy Dempsey Judy Dempsey highlights Peter Magyar's victory over Viktor Orban, noting a massive turnout of young voters. Hungarians rejected systemic corruption and Russian interference, signaling a desire for rule of law and European integration.1867 KARL MARX

In conversations about business, you don’t hear Karl Marx quoted very often. That’s principally because of his enthusiasm for communism, which is kind of the opposite of business… But Marx was an economist back in the mid 1800’s and the reason we still know about him is because he had some insights that are still relevant. Among them is the observation that everything contains the seeds of its own destruction. A current example of this is the way the internet is changing. Every single day there are 14 Billion – with a “B” – Google searches. Most of these searches lead the searcher to a website. If you own a website and a business, and you want people to find you online, you use a science called Search Engine Optimization. Or SEO. SEO makes sure that when someone’s searching for what you’re selling, your website comes up first on a Google search. Brian Hong has spent hours, weeks, months and years building websites and manipulating SEO for clients at his New Orleans company, Infintech Designs. Then along came the seed of the internet’s destruction. AI. AI doesn’t search the web the way a human does. But every day more and more people are using AI to do web searches. So how does Brian adapt? He gets into the AI business. He creates three AI companies, BigEasyData.ai, Flowbots.ai and Thorbit.ai. In one way or another, each of these defeat the death of SEO and instead use AI to grow a business. Any kind of business. HVAC. Plumbing. A medical practice. A law firm… To demonstrate his confidence in his AI tools’ ability to grow any business, instead of taking a fee, Brian will take a small stake in each company. And, but the way, in case you’re wondering, this is not theoretical, it’s actually working. In another example of Marx’s seeds of self-destruction – one of the ironies of the of the so-called “Information age” - is the death of information itself. We started publicly sharing written information as early as 59BC. That was the first newspaper. Almost continuously throughout human history since then, and certainly since the invention of the printing press, newspapers have played all kinds of functions in our communities. From a record of small-town births, deaths and marriages, to uncovering national political scandals and covering international wars, the newspaper has been a cohesive element of almost every literate community, everywhere. The demise of newspapers has been well documented. And news of the shrinking of the news industry continues. Which is what makes an organization called Deep South Today so interesting. Deep South Today is a nonprofit network of local newsrooms that includes The Current in Lafayette, The Garrison Project, Mississippi Today, and in New Orleans, Verite News. Warwick Sabin is President and CEO of Deep South Today. Among his varied past occupations Warwick served three terms in the Arkansas House of Representatives, he was a press secretary on Capitol Hill, he has a graduate degree from Oxford University in the UK, and from 2008-13 he revived and was the publisher of the equally prestigious Oxford American magazine. You’ve probably heard the expression, “When one door closes another door opens.” If that literally happens, you’re probably in prison. But as a metaphor it applies to both Brian's and Warwick's businesses. They're both in fields where the traditional way of doing things doesn’t work anymore, and they've both created original and unique pathways out of what has looked to most people like a dead end. Frankly, most people who care about these issues in this country are not looking in a southerly direction for solutions. It’s pretty amazing what these guys have accomplished already.

Dans cet épisode solo, je reviens sur une position que j'ai longtemps défendue, celle de tempérer face au catastrophisme ambiant sur l'IA, et j'explique pourquoi les preuves qui s'accumulent depuis quelques mois m'obligent à regarder les choses autrement. Pas pour rejoindre la panique, mais parce qu'une position qui ne s'interroge jamais devient une posture, pas une analyse.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de la contradiction structurelle au cœur du capitalisme numérique : l'IA générative détruit les emplois cognitifs de niveau intermédiaire, précisément ceux qui constituent la base de consommation sur laquelle repose l'économie. J'ai questionné les travaux de Nick Dyer-Witheford, Karen Hao, Emad Mostaque et Anis Rahman sur ce que ça signifie concrètement, au-delà des chiffres de Goldman Sachs et des fuites internes d'Anthropic. Et parce que je déteste laisser les gens dans un état d'impuissance intellectuelle pire qu'avant la lecture, je finis sur des exemples concrets, locaux, qui montrent qu'une autre IA est possible même si les rapports de forces sont pour l'instant très déséquilibrés. Le tout pour vous redonner envie du futur bien sur :)CITATIONS MARQUANTES"Il y a un mot pour décrire un système qui détruit méthodiquement sa propre base de clients. Ce mot n'est pas 'innovation' mais 'suicide'.""C'est la boîte qui construit les outils qui sonne elle-même l'alarme sur leur impact. Ce n'est pas un philosophe marxiste.""Ils ont entraîné leurs propres remplaçants." (sur les travailleurs d'annotation de Nairobi, Manille, Lahore)"Regarde qui te chuchote à l'oreille chaque jour, et demande-toi de qui c'est l'intérêt." (Emad Mostaque)"Une position qui ne s'interroge jamais elle-même, c'est une posture, pas une analyse."IDÉES CENTRALES 1. Le contrat de Ford est rompu, par design Henry Ford payait ses ouvriers pour qu'ils puissent acheter ses voitures : le capital paie le travail, le travail consomme, la production nourrit le capital. L'IA générative rompt ce cercle en rendant le capital structurellement indépendant du travail humain. Ce n'est pas un bug du système, c'est une conséquence logique de sa propre optimisation poussée à l'extrême. C'est important parce que cela remet en cause le mécanisme de stabilisation automatique sur lequel les démocraties libérales se sont appuyées depuis Keynes.2. L'IA s'attaque précisément aux emplois qui étaient censés être la solution Contrairement aux révolutions industrielles précédentes qui frappaient d'abord les peu qualifiés, l'IA générative cible le travail cognitif intermédiaire : analyse, rédaction, code, diagnostic, comptabilité, marketing. Ces emplois constituaient la colonne vertébrale des classes moyennes éduquées. Ce sont eux qui avaient fait les études recommandées pour s'adapter. Si eux ne peuvent pas, qui peut ?3. La disruption du mécanisme de relance économique Quand les banques centrales baissent les taux pour relancer l'emploi, les entreprises recrutent désormais des agents IA, pas des travailleurs humains. Le lien entre capital et emploi se rompt pour la première fois depuis deux siècles. Et contrairement à toutes les crises précédentes, l'IA ne devient pas moins intelligente après une récession.4. La broligarchy et la capture réglementaire Les "Magnificent Seven" contrôlent 90,2% des modèles d'IA notables mondiaux. En 2024, les entreprises privées ont investi 109 milliards de dollars dans l'IA, contre 5,3 milliards d'investissement public. Sam Altman se pose en défenseur de la régulation en public et fait du lobby pour l'affaiblir en coulisses. L'administration Trump a inclus un moratoire de dix ans sur toute régulation étatique de l'IA. C'est une capture de la démocratie, pas seulement une concentration de marché.5. L'IA coloniale et la souveraineté cognitive L'IA ne transmet pas seulement des informations, elle transmet les valeurs et le cadre moral de ceux qui l'ont construite. Quand 90% des modèles viennent de Silicon Valley, la question de la souveraineté cognitive devient aussi urgente que la souveraineté économique. Et le "colonialisme par l'IA" s'exerce aussi dans le sud global, où des travailleurs ont littéralement entraîné les outils qui ont ensuite concurrencé leur propre travail.6. L'IA-vélo contre l'IA-fusée Karen Hao propose une distinction utile : l'IA-fusée, paradigme dominant à des centaines de milliards de paramètres visant l'AGI, et l'IA-vélo, des outils à échelle humaine pour des besoins spécifiques. Les architectures techniques sont les mêmes. Ce qui diffère, c'est le principe directeur. Des exemples comme Te Hiku Media en Nouvelle-Zélande, Chattanooga dans le Tennessee ou le modèle S1 développé pour 70 dollars prouvent que le choix existe.7. La destruction créatrice a un problème de rythme L'argument de Schumpeter tient sur le fond : chaque vague technologique crée plus qu'elle ne détruit. Mais il bute sur le rythme. La machine à vapeur s'est étalée sur des décennies. L'IA générative frappe en années. Si le pouvoir d'achat des classes moyennes disparaît avant que de nouveaux emplois émergent, qui consomme les produits que les entreprises continuent de produire ?QUESTIONS DE L'ÉPISODEEst-ce que ma position rassurante sur l'IA reflétait une lecture lucide, ou était-elle aussi une façon d'éviter une conclusion que je n'avais pas envie de regarder en face ?Le capitalisme peut-il fonctionner sans consommateurs, et les consommateurs peuvent-ils exister sans travailleurs ?Qu'est-ce qui différencie fondamentalement l'IA générative des révolutions industrielles précédentes en termes d'impact sur l'emploi ?Pourquoi l'argument de la "destruction créatrice" de Schumpeter bute-t-il cette fois sur quelque chose de structurellement différent ?Comment fonctionne concrètement la capture réglementaire par les grandes entreprises tech, et qu'est-ce que l'exemple de Sam Altman révèle sur ce phénomène ?Qu'est-ce que le sort des travailleurs d'annotation du sud global dit de la nature systémique de l'IA capitaliste ?Pourquoi le mécanisme de relance économique des banques centrales risque-t-il de ne plus fonctionner dans un monde d'IA générative ?Qu'est-ce que la distinction entre "IA-fusée" et "IA-vélo" change concrètement à la façon dont on peut construire et déployer ces technologies ?Comment des initiatives locales comme Te Hiku Media ou Chattanooga incarnent-elles une alternative crédible au paradigme dominant ?Quelle est votre part personnelle dans cette reconfiguration, en tant qu'individu, professionnel, citoyen ?RÉFÉRENCES CITÉESLivres et rapportsInhuman Power : Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Capitalism de Nick Dyer-Witheford (2019, + Cybernetic Circulation Complex, 2026, Verso).

Quelque chose a changé. Des gens autour de moi perdent des contrats qu'ils avaient depuis dix ans. Je reviens sur ma posture et j'explique ce qui m'a forcé à regarder les choses autrement.06:00 La contradiction centrale : le capitalisme peut-il se passer de consommateurs ? L'intuition de Ford et pourquoi elle s'effondre. Pas de travail, pas de salaires, pas de consommation, pas de capitalisme. La vraie question n'est peut-être pas "l'IA va-t-elle tuer des emplois ?" mais "l'IA va-t-elle tuer le système qui l'a créée ?"12:00 Ce que les chiffres disent vraiment Goldman Sachs, Dario Amodei, les fuites internes d'Anthropic. Un "white-collar bloodbath" annoncé par la boîte qui construit les outils. La nature de cette vague est différente des précédentes : elle frappe d'abord les cols blancs qualifiés.20:00 Nick Dyer-Witheford et le capital qui se libère du travail "Inhuman Power" et la thèse centrale : l'IA comme instrument par lequel le capital pourrait se rendre structurellement indépendant du travail humain. Marx avait formulé ça comme une crainte théorique. On s'en approche.28:00 La fin du mécanisme keynésien de relance Quand les banques centrales baissent les taux, les entreprises recrutent des agents IA, pas des humains. Ce mécanisme qui a fonctionné pendant deux siècles risque de ne plus fonctionner du tout. Personne ne le formule clairement dans le débat public.36:00 Le sud global et l'extraction coloniale Les Philippines, le Bangladesh, les travailleurs d'annotation de Nairobi et Manille. Ils ont entraîné leurs propres remplaçants. Karen Hao et la dimension coloniale de ce modèle économique.44:00 La broligarchy et la capture réglementaire 109 milliards d'investissement privé contre 5,3 milliards publics. Sam Altman défenseur de la régulation en public, lobbyiste pour l'affaiblir en coulisses. Le moratoire de dix ans de l'administration Trump. Ce n'est pas qu'une question de marché.52:00 L'argument de Schumpeter est réel, mais il a un problème de rythme La destruction créatrice a toujours fonctionné. Mais sur des décennies, pas des années. Si le pouvoir d'achat s'effondre avant que de nouveaux emplois émergent, qui consomme la production ?60:00 L'IA-vélo contre l'IA-fusée : une autre IA est possible Te Hiku Media, Chattanooga, le modèle S1 à 70 dollars. La distinction de Karen Hao entre l'IA construite pour la performance commerciale et l'IA construite à échelle humaine pour des usages définis. Ce sont les mêmes architectures techniques.70:00 Ce que vous pouvez faire maintenant : individu, collectif, citoyen Trois niveaux d'action concrets.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, Senior Director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Marxism, unfortunately, seems to be making a comeback. Despite its economically disastrous, politically oppressive, and horrifically inhumane track record, the atheistic philosophy that produced the Communist revolution and eventually led to the deaths of tens of millions of people has wheedled its way back to the center of our political culture. On the surface, this may sound surprising: Since the fall of the Berlin Wall over three decades ago, few public figures have openly identified as Marxist, and Communist political parties have typically occupied the outermost fringes of political influence. However, Marxist ideas–especially in the form of contemporary identity politics–have not only continued gathering momentum beneath the surface in universities, NGOs, the media, corporate HR departments, and government bureaucracies; high profile politicians, including the mayor of New York, Zohran Mandami, and Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, now seem to be openly advocating for Marxist policies. So how did this morally and historically discredited ideology remerge in mainstream politics? Equally important, how should Christians and all people concerned with basic human rights and the common good respond? Here to discuss the dark history of Marxism, its contemporary forms, and how the Catholic Church has, and always will, stand against it, is Bishop Robert Barron.

In this episode, we're joined by professor Joel Wainwright (co-author of Climate Leviathan) to discuss his newest book, The End: Marx, Darwin, and the Natural History of the Climate Crisis. Together, Breht and Joel explore the intellectual impact Charles Darwin had on Karl Marx, and why it matters for the ecological crisis of our time. Wainwright argues that Marx's study of Darwin helped him develop a distinctly Marxian concept of natural history, reshaping how he understood history, nature, and capitalism itself. Reading Capital through this lens, they unpack how Marx's critique becomes an ecological critique: capitalism as a social formation that reorganizes the human–Earth relation, producing crisis, "surplus" populations, and new forms of domination - and have some fun disagreements along the way. They close by asking what this natural-historical Marx can contribute to building an eco-socialist alternative beyond capitalist growth and climate catastrophe.
