Podcasts about neoliberal

Economia Underground, um podcast institucionalista.Neste episódio debatemos o texto "Value, Politics and Democracy in the United States", publicado no Current Sociology em 2011, de autoria de David Graeber. Neste texto, Graeber destrói a ideia do autointeresse econômico, argumentando que a verdadeira luta de classes se tornou uma batalha por "nobreza", onde a elite liberal monopoliza os caminhos para uma vida com propósito e valor intrínseco. No fim, o populismo de direita é o único que oferece à classe trabalhadora um caminho acessível para se comportar altruisticamente, seja através do alistamento militar ou da fé.Nos siga no Instagram: @economiaunderground

The Neoliberal Round Podcast by Renaldo McKenzieEpisode Script: “Faith, Film, and the Future Featuring Abria Jackson”Creator/Host: Renaldo C. McKenzie[Intro]Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. I'm your host, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie.Today, I'm honored to sit with the dynamic, ever-charming, and deeply talented Abria Jackson—an actress, mentor, and graduate student whose career and calling blend art, faith, and service.Abria recently starred in Night of Violence, which opened at the prestigious FrightFest in the UK. She traveled to London with her mother to witness the premiere, and we'll talk about that powerful experience. We'll also dive into her work on Law & Order: Organized Crime, her inspirations from Viola Davis and Halle Berry, her mentoring of young women, and her pursuit of a master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology.[Segment 1 – The UK Premiere]Renaldo: What was it like, sitting in that London theater with your mom, watching your film open FrightFest?Abria: “It was very emotional. My father passed away a couple of years ago, and he was so supportive of my dream. Knowing my mom was in the audience reminded me that I have people who love me and support me. I also felt like my dad was there, watching from heaven. My mom was cheering, even when no one else was, and people around her were cracking up—it was unforgettable.”Renaldo: What did it mean personally to have her there?Abria: “It felt full circle. God was reminding me to keep going, that I'm on the right path. The fact that my mom was alive and present for that moment—it meant everything.”[Segment 2 – Acting as Healing]Renaldo: You mentioned Catwoman, a Black rock star, and Tanya from Mortal Kombat as dream roles. Why those?Abria: “All three connect directly to my childhood. They'd heal my inner child. Acting was more than entertainment—it was spiritual. Growing up, life wasn't always glitter and rainbows. Acting gave me an outlet, and now keeping that inner child alive helps me bring truth to every role.”[Segment 3 – Balancing Faith, Career, and Self-Care]Renaldo: How do you balance school, career, and everything else?Abria: “I'm very intentional with my time. I write everything in my planner and make sure I hit my goals. But I also remind myself that you can't pour from an empty cup. Self-care matters. For me, that's $5 Tuesdays at the movies—it's my reset.”Renaldo: And your faith?Abria: “Faith keeps me going. My mom once bought a name meaning that said Aabria means faith. That's my story. When auditions don't come, when money's tight—faith carries me.”[Segment 4 – Mentorship & Psychology]Renaldo: Beyond acting, you're also co-leading a mentorship group for teen girls and pursuing a master's in counseling. What inspired that?Abria: “Even in high school, people would come up to me and share their lives. It felt like a gift God placed in me. Now I want to perfect that gift—get licensed, gain knowledge, and help people in ways that blend spirituality and service.”[Segment 5 – Vision & Legacy]Renaldo: Looking ahead, what legacy do you want to build?Abria: “When God calls me home, I want people to say my life was an act of faith. Of course, I want roles that move people. But more than that, I want to be remembered as someone who served—who gave advice, helped people, and carried them through. What profits a person to gain the world but lose their soul? Character and service—that's the legacy I want.”[Closing]Abria Jackson is more than an actress—she is a storyteller, a servant, and a woman of faith. From Philly to London, from film sets to mentorship circles, her journey reminds us that art and service can walk hand in hand.You can follow Abria on Instagram at @itsabriajackson and on TikTok under her name.And stay tuned for her upcoming TV series Losing My Pride, expected in 2026.Thank you for listening to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Until next time—walk good.

Die neoklassische Wirtschaftslehre geht bekanntlich vom Homo oeconomicus aus, der rationale Entscheidungen trifft. Die Wirklichkeit sieht häufig anders aus. Wir handeln nicht selten gegen unsere Vernunft, lassen uns zu Handlungen verlocken, die kurzfristig Genuss, langfristig aber Frust bringen oder auch sehr viel Geld kosten können.Die Verhaltensökonomie geht deshalb über ein simples Anreizsystem hinaus und versucht, die Menschen zum richtigen Handeln anzustupsen. “Nudge” heißt das Wort, das 2008 schlagartig die Runde machte, als Richard H. Thaler und Cass R. Sunstein ihr gleichnamiges Buch publizierten. Nudging bezeichnet gezielte Veränderungen der Entscheidungsumgebung, ohne Zwang und ohne finanzielle Anreize. Stattdessen setzen die Autoren auf einen liberalen Paternalismus: Er lässt die individuelle Entscheidungsfreiheit bewusst bestehen und rechtfertigt zurückhaltende Eingriffe, die es den Menschen leichter machen, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Ist das einfach ein neoliberales Modell oder lässt sich dieses Konzept auch für eine linke Politik produktiv Machen? Darüber diskutieren Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Ausgabe von “Wohlstand für Alle”!Literatur:Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein: Nudge.

Renaldo sits down in Philadelphia with Twin Brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Media Consultant Paul Booth for a rapid-fire Pulse: Trump's rhetoric and “unity,” the constitutionality of sending National Guard into cities, whether militarized policing reduces crime, the real drivers of violence (poverty and inequality), and the right's gerrymandering blitz. Then a quick pivot to sports: the Eagles' outlook, the Chiefs loss, and why Jalen Hurts doesn't need anyone's validation. Straight talk, no varnish—politics, culture, and football from Philly.Opening in Philly — Ricardo joins Renaldo in-studio; why the moment feels tense but clarifying.Trump & “unity” — Missed chances to cool rhetoric; what a president owes the whole country.National Guard in cities — Legal/constitutional questions; why militarization isn't a long-term public-safety strategy.Root causes of crime — Relative deprivation, poverty, and inequality vs. short-run deterrence; the budget tradeoff between troops/police and opportunity programs.Gun violence — Responsibility of ownership and the policy gap between mass shootings and everyday violence.Gerrymandering — Texas and beyond; why “process vs. power grab” defines the map fight, and how Democrats should respond.Sports pivot — Eagles confidence, Saquon's move, Chiefs' stumble, and Hurts' business-first mentality.Calls to action — Support, subscribe, and follow links (as you read on air).Long show notes / summaryOpening in Philly — Ricardo joins Renaldo in-studio; why the moment feels tense but clarifying.Trump & “unity” — Missed chances to cool rhetoric; what a president owes the whole country.National Guard in cities — Legal/constitutional questions; why militarization isn't a long-term public-safety strategy.Root causes of crime — Relative deprivation, poverty, and inequality vs. short-run deterrence; the budget tradeoff between troops/police and opportunity programs.Gun violence — Responsibility of ownership and the policy gap between mass shootings and everyday violence.Gerrymandering — Texas and beyond; why “process vs. power grab” defines the map fight, and how Democrats should respond.Sports pivot — Eagles confidence, Saquon's move, Chiefs' stumble, and Hurts' business-first mentality.Calls to action — Support, subscribe, and follow links (as you read on air).SEO keywords / tagsPhiladelphia politics; militarized policing; National Guard in cities; crime & poverty; gun violence; gerrymandering; 2025 agenda; Jalen Hurts; Eagles vs Chiefs; The NeoLiberal Round; The PulseThis episode contains frank discussion of violence, race, and politics.Content advisoryThis episode contains frank discussion of violence, race, and politics.Renaldo McKenzie is the Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round Podcast and President of The Neoliberal (The Neoliberal Corporation).

In this episode, Therese Markow and Richard Kirk discuss the rise of inequality and homelessness, highlighting the lack of access to healthcare and resources for marginalized populations. They delve into the myth of trickle-down wealth and the downsides of gentrification. Richard also discusses the impact of large projects, such as stadiums, which increase property values and rents, exacerbating homelessness. He emphasizes the need for better regulations and policies to address these issues.     Key Takeaways: There is no adequate tracking of the fates of people displaced by gentrification, large-scale projects, and other circumstances.  Gentrification sometimes starts informally with young professionals, artists, or students moving into an affordable area with new businesses following. Other times, it is intentional with cities and developers targeting an area for development, but this is often done without protections for those original community members.  People in displaced communities often don't have the knowledge and energy, due to the roadblocks placed by those in charge and the need to work, in order to fight back against the gentrification and aggressive acquisition of their property.  Since the 1970s, the government has stepped back from providing affordable housing and robust social safety nets, prioritizing private investment and large development projects.   "It's really, really hard to combat something that is a global phenomenon without major reforms at the federal level. But elections at every scale matter, and voting still matters." —  Richard Kirk   Episode References:  SAJE - https://www.saje.net/  Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/39984/summary  Neoliberal necropolitics and the global competition for urban dominance by Richard Kirk - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016718524001684?via%3Dihub    Connect with Richard Kirk: Professional Bio: https://geog.ucla.edu/person/richard-kirk/  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/richard-kirk-49110024a    Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this impromptu episode of The Neoliberal Round, host Renaldo McKenzie goes unscripted to unpack the explosive fallout from the latest Epstein release.Why are there protests in the streets? Why is Ghislaine Maxwell still seemingly receiving “special treatment” while countless others face the full weight of justice? And why does accountability stop when it reaches the doors of the powerful?Renaldo explores the tangled web of Trump, Epstein, and the culture of impunity that shields elites—touching on:

Lo interesante es que la tal austeridad no ha tenido un impacto positivo en las finanzas públicas, ni mucho menos, y que ese administrador tan supuestamente ahorrativo dilapida colosales cantidades en proyectos deficitarios

In Mirages of Reform: The Politics of Elite Protectionism in the Arab World (Cornell UP, 2025), Steve L. Monroe argues that geopolitics and social connections between state and capital underpin the Arab world's uneven trade policies. Despite decades of international pressure, neoliberal trade policy reform in the Arab world has been varied, selective, and often ineffective. Neoliberal trade policies have not deepened international trade in many of the region's markets. This book explains why. When the region's regimes have strong support from global powers and strong social connections to the industrial elite, they engage in extensive but deceptive trade policy reform. Behind an edifice of neoliberal trade policies, neopatrimonial forms of protectionism like tax evasion and noncompetitive procurement shield the socially connected from international competition and obstruct actual trade liberalization. Industrialists are less trustful of regime promises of neopatrimonial protectionism after reform when they have weak social connections to their regime and their regime has low support from global powers. They are more likely to defend existing protectionist policies under these conditions, resulting in less trade policy reform. Drawing on interviews, firm- and industry-level data, and evidence from Jordan to Morocco, Mirages of Reform reveals how international and domestic factors interact to shape the Arab world's rugged trade policy terrain. Insightful and well researched, this book imparts important lessons and warnings about the repercussions of economic reform in the region. Steve L. Monroe is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore. He is a scholar of development, with a primary focus on the Arab world. Monroe's scholarship examines two of the region's most pressing developmental challenges: limited economic integration, and gender inequality. Learn more about your ad choices.

Se ve que la alcaldesa de Cuauhtémoc quiere acabar con su incipiente carrera. Ya nomás le falta aplaudir los delirios de Simón Trevy, declarar la alcaldía como primer territorio trumpista

Este último capítulo de nuestra historia comienza con el supuesto “fin de las ideologías”. Y termina con Argentina, que se inserta de nuevo en el gran proyecto latinoamericano.

For a long time many (although by no means all) scholars saw the relationship between capitalism and democracy as mutually reinforcing: economic competition and growth were expected to sustain democratic competition and improve governance and public good delivery for citizens, in turn creating a better environment for capitalist competition to flourish. But as capitalism has changed and has in many respects freed itself from the constraints of the state and of democratic processes, it has unleashed a new era of extreme wealth accumulation, deregulated markets, weak states, unresponsive political elites, and choiceless democracies. In this episode, CEDAR host Licia Cianetti talks to Rachel Riedl about her recent essay on “Neoliberalism and the Third Wave” to better understand why and how this happened and what we can do about it. This episode is part of PPP's ongoing collaboration with the Journal of Democracy. Rachel Beatty Riedl is Professor of public policy and government at Cornell University and the Peggy J. Koenig '78 Director of the Brooks Center on Global Democracy. Her latest co-edited book is entitled Global Challenges to Democracy: Comparative Perspectives on Backsliding, Autocracy, and Resilience (CUP 2025). Licia Cianetti is Lecturer in Political Science and International Studies at the University of Birmingham and Deputy Founding Director of CEDAR. Her latest publication is “What is a “regime”? Three definitions and their implications for the future of regime studies” (Democratization, 2025). The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world.

Question: What consciousness are we trying to promote when we constantly borrow from overseas? Prof. Renaldo Mckenzie explains the problem that Caribbean scholars run into using foreign educational material and content to present on Caribbean Issues and topography and history. Renaldo warns that that approach is antithetical to Caribbean identity and history and continues to promote foreign concepts over Caribbean one.

Today's show discusses Trump's just passed $5 trillion tax cut. The four big lies about the Trump cuts are debunked: why the cuts won't 'pay for themselves'; why the total is at least $5 trillion+ and not the official $3 trillion estimate reported by the media; why the cuts won't add 1-2% to GDP or raise wages and create jobs as the govt claims; and why they'll result in deficits and debt over the coming decade far more than the $3.3 trillion the Trump administration and mainstream media are telling us. The show summarizes the $22 trillion taxes cut from 2001 to 2025 by presidents Bush, Obama, Biden and Trump, and how that's resulted in US budget deficits now averaging $2 trillion a year, a $38 trillion US national debt, and interest payments of more than $1 trillion/yr paid to wealthy US and foreign bondholders of that debt. Why Trump's tax cuts represent a continuation of Neoliberal fiscal policy on steroids.

Over the past 50 years, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer professionals have organized to achieve greater inclusion into the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This inclusion, however, has come at a cost. In the 1970s, these professionals sought to radically transform STEM fields by confronting the homophobia and sexism embedded within them. Instead, these fields became more corporatized and privatized, and STEM institutions and workspaces—particularly in the spheres of government and business—became dominated by a focus on individualism, self-improvement/advancement, and meritocracy, which are hallmarks of neoliberalism. For many LGBTQ STEM professionals, inclusion now required becoming more apolitical, pro-capital, and focused on professional development.In Out Doing Science: LGBTQ STEM Professionals and Inclusion in Neoliberal Times (University of Massachusetts Press, 2025), Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Dr. Ethan Czuy Levine, and Dr. Brandon Fairchild explore this transformation of LGBTQ STEM professionals from oppositional outsiders to assimilationist insiders. Drawing on historical archives, oral interviews, and participant observation of professional societies and workspaces, the authors interrogate the meanings of “inclusion” and why some LGBTQ STEM professionals have benefited from it more than others. They also advocate for a “queer STEM” that challenges and transforms the racism, classism, sexism, cisheterosexism, and imperialism of these fields, institutions, and workspaces. Written in an accessible and engaging style, Out Doing Science will appeal to readers interested in LGBTQ studies, and science and technology studies, as well as anyone who wants to create a more diverse and inclusive work environment. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Trailer to The Weekend with Renaldo and Montel discussing the Philly Strike and the Diddy Verdict on The Neoliberal Round Podcast.

I met up with Tony of 1Dime to discuss the neoliberal moment in American culture. We discuss what neoliberalism means, why there is a general discontent with it, the advantages of neoliberalism, and the potential of a vision for a future beyond neoliberalism as it inevitably comes to an end. We also psychologically analyze the left and the right from the Nietzschean standpoint, consider how many of the alternatives are magical thinking, and finally discuss the history of revolutionary movements and how they always have to draw upon the past.

Was the populist far right a reaction to neoliberal free market fundamentalism? Or, as historian Quinn Slobodian argues, did such rightwing currents come out of the ideas of neoliberalism itself? Slobodian reflects on neoliberal thinkers' preoccupation with racist and misogynistic ideas of human nature and intelligence, borders and gold — all in service to their war on the left. Quinn Slobodian, Hayek's Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the Capitalism of the Far Right Zone Books, 2025 The post The Neoliberal Roots of Rightwing Populism appeared first on KPFA.

Donald Trump claims his tariffs will bring back good manufacturing jobs and help to reindustrialize the United States, but all the evidence suggests this will fail, because he has no coherent industrial policy, is gutting the state's capacities, and refuses to challenge Wall Street. Ben Norton explains how the US economy was financialized, and what it would take to truly revive industry.

Post-Neoliberalism Conference: Beyond NeoliberalismREALIGNMENT NEWSLETTER: https://therealignment.substack.com/PURCHASE BOOKS AT OUR BOOKSHOP: https://bookshop.org/shop/therealignmentEmail Us: realignmentpod@gmail.comHistorians Gary Gerstle and Noam Maggor, organizers of the Beyond Neoliberalism conference, join The Realignment. Marshall, Noam, and Gary discuss the origins and aims of their conference, why conversations about post-neoliberalism aren't just about wonky, academic jargon, the rise and fall of the New Deal and Neoliberal political orders, why 1990s neoliberal thinking no longer helps us think through today's challenges, the false starts and stops of the post-2016 realignment era, and what a post-neoliberal political order could look like.
