Ps Paula continues the there parts series God of my yesterday, today and tomorrow, this week focusing on God being our God of Today!She refers to the same passage in Hebrew telling us Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever and in a world that is always changing. Often we experience situation where people do not treat us the same, but God is the same every day. Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness".PS Paula goes on to talk about how Psalm 118 tells us that this is the day that the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it. We need to rejoice in the days we have and not mourn what we dont have. Ps Paula goes on to encourage us to pick God today. Make today matter. Don't procrastinate, don't put off what we can do now. Today can be a fresh start for us. We may want what we want but there's something wonderful about surrendering to God because when we surrender to God we realize that everything we were holding on to is foolish and doesn't satisfy us and certainly is not causing us to be who God wants us to be. This is a must listen challenging message about how we will live our today!

An ex-copper turned crime author give us today's writing routine! Paul Finch used to work for the Greater Manchester Police, and upon leaving found that everything the force taught him and the stories he saw along the way might have another use. First, Paul wrote for 'The Bill', and has since gone on to write may scripts across film, TV and animation. He pens horror fiction, loads of sci-fi too and has even given his ideas to the Doctor's (Doctor Who? Doctor Who!) universe. It's with crime fiction that he's found most success. He's six novels in to his 'Heck' novels about DS Mark Heckenberg, and release's the second in his 'PC Lucy Clayburn' series, 'Shadows', is out on the 19th October. Paul's writing routine is... unusual. It's not the humdrum sit down in front of a laptop and get irate when a masterpiece doesn't flow from your fingertips; it involves a tape recorder, a dog, and a landscape of Lancashirian hills. Our 'Distinguished Diary' today features not only a weird and wonderful writing routine from history, but also 11 commandments of creativity to help you along the way - you can hear how Henry Miller got his books down on paper during the show.

The second of four episodes in our series about Patrik Schumacher, Director of Zaha Hadid Architects. Tim and Joe review and critique the media responses to Patrik’s controversial presentation about housing at the World Architecture Festival in November 2016. Two of these articles, by the Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright and architectural writer Phineas Harper, are presented for extended criticism. We had a little too much fun with this one. Topics include: Responses from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Zaha Hadid Architects, protestors, and supporters (sort of) Extended critique of Oliver Wainwright’s article in The Guardian: Did Zaha Hadid “dismiss” Patrik’s theoretical work in parametricism? Gurgaon – a mostly private city in India Are “thought experiments” valid and meaningful? The housing crisis can be explained in three words: Great Crested Newts Noam Chomsky on anarcho-capitalism A new off-Broadway play, “Syndicalism in One Act” Extended critique of Phineas Harper’s article in Dezeen: What social justice warriors and the alt-right have in common Government solutions are the simple solutions. Market solutions require more complex thinking. Child labor Poverty and welfare Neoliberalism, Thatcherism, and Hayek-ianism Adam Smith was NOT the godfather of the free market. More like the weird uncle. The intern architect who predicted the 2008 financial crisis View full show notes at anarchitecturepodcast.com/ana010.----more---- Intro Media Maelstrom Discussion How have Patrik’s libertarian ideas been perceived and communicated in the mainstream media? Arch Daily chose not to cover the speech because of boos. Boo-hoo. London Evening Standard – response from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan Did Patrik say anything about diversity? Is evicting tenants at the end of a lease term “social cleansing?” City center affordability through new forms of co-housing Replace social housing subsidies with cash handouts Building more housing with minimum space standards does not create more affordable housing. Zaha Hadid Architects press release Irrelevant virtue signaling Was this a smart response? Press release was not approved by directors Protestors  – The fascist (who wants to get rid of government) Supportive articles – guarded responses “Zaha Hadid’s successor: scrap art schools, privatise cities and bin social housing” by Oliver Wainwright in The Guardian, November 24, 2016 Comprehensive article, but not unbiased journalism Parametric tuxedo The Trump of architecture – says who? Facebook rants A conspiracy theorist Patrik’s political views are separate from the practice Patrik has only “unleashed” his views following Zaha Hadid’s death – a despicable argument Patrik has published articles expressing these views since 2012. Did Zaha Hadid “dismiss” Patrik’s theoretical work in parametricism? W magazine article – history of busting his chops “Parametricism” has been part of the branding and messaging of Zaha Hadid Architects. The Guardian’s Architecture and Design Critic has used “parametric” to describe Zaha Hadid’s work. The well has been poisoned, time to march out the libertarians Tom Woods, Peter Schiff, David Stockman Three claps for mentioning libertarians Fundamental faith in the market – oversimplification Anarcho-capitalism can not solve everything The nirvana fallacy Private solutions – Pocket living, The Collective, eliminating space standards, AirBnb, Liberland, free private cities Gurgaon – a mostly private city in India Gurgaon has not solved inequality in India. Fail. Inequality is not the best metric to use. Look at economic progress for the poor instead. Environmental damage Sewage treatment was supposed to be provided by a local governmental agency and they failed to provide it. Merely “thought experiments” Valid hypotheses about possible future opportunities Zaha Hadid was a “paper architect” for years before a building commission. Were these designs “merely” thought experiments? Is Patrik uncertain of what he’s saying? “Post-truth” – is Patrik appealing to emotion? 600,000 plots of land with planning permission. Land-banking Is this a symptom of a property bubble? The housing crisis can be explained in three words: Great Crested Newts Permitted housing land is worth 300x the value of agricultural land. “Getting planning permission isn’t the issue” – really? Builders hoarding land to keep home prices high – really? Housing supply is up 52% over three years. “Implementable planning consent” and “conditions” Shortages of labor and material Pre-commencement conditions Planning permission is not implementable planning consent Examples of pre-commencement conditions holding up construction of “permitted” housing units: Playground details Services by other vendors Documentation not under purview of planning department Full details of solar panels, utility boxes, windows and doors, electric car charging ports Locations of public art Bat boxes Great Crested Newts Number of permits granted is not evidence of a simple permitting process Permitting process can take 5 years Small homebuilders in UK have decreased from 9000 to 3000 Large foreign builders don’t have necessary local connections to enter market If Oliver Wainwright wants buildable land to get cheaper, he should want MORE land speculators to flood the market with land they’ve permitted Noam Chomsky on anarcho-capitalism Syndicalism in One Act Employers advance wages to employees ahead of revenues Two people contracting for employment is a “sick joke” – really? Are negotiations between unequal parties invalid? Chomsky agrees with anarcho-capitalists on a whole range of issues Chomsky: “The burden of proof is always on those who argue that authority and domination are necessary.” “It is time to stop listening to Patrik Schumacher” by Phineas Harper, published in Dezeen, November 28, 2016 Tolerance is bad – really? Herbert Marcuse – “Repressive Tolerance” What do social justice warriors and the alt-right have in common? Shutting down discussion may be justifiable, but is not productive “Total faith in the market to solve all conceivable problems” – Nirvana fallacy Hayekian economics distorted to grotesque absurdity – ignores 150 year school of thought Hayek – a dog-whistle to anti-capitalists Margaret Thatcher – some good and some bad If you want nuance, give him more time to talk Patrik is not responsible for Joe’s ignorance Katie Hopkins If you’re not talking about government solutions, you’re not talking about solutions at all. Child labor The best time to start working is when you’re a teenager A fantasy that complex problems have simple solutions. Government solutions are the simple solutions. Market solutions require more complex thinking. Poverty and welfare Redistributive welfare payments have not solved poverty Grit A freer market would create more opportunities for everyone Charity can be voluntary Government gives people a false sense of charity Markets make things cheaper (like Walmart) Neoliberalism Associated with Thatcherism Associated with government interventions supporting businesses. This is not libertarianism. “A fawning architectural press” – really? I mean, really?! Press has attacked Zaha Hadid Architects in the past. Phineas Harper on Ben Clark on Adam Smith Appeal to authority – Ben Clark’s “Light Bulb” award Appeal to authority inside an appeal to authority Adam Smith was NOT the godfather of the free market Murray Rothbard’s critique of Adam Smith Perhaps Ben Clark is economically illiterate Owen Hatherly on unconstrained developers Appeal to authority A self-professed communist. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Retail parks, car parks, and shopping malls aren’t public spaces? What’s wrong with a prepackaged, spoon-fed suburban lifestyle? Many developments do incorporate green space and public amenities “Given nearly unlimited space” not a realistic scenario Markets can never make mistakes? Not true. Markets have natural feedback mechanisms to correct mistakes Widespread market failure is usually due to governmental interference in self-correcting markets 2008 financial crisis resulted from governmental policies instigating, exacerbating, and prolonging market imbalances The intern architect who predicted the 2008 financial crisis Schumacher is ADAMANT! …yet uncertain? We all share the same end goal of providing housing for everyone, but disagree on the means of achieving that end.

Marcuse was influential in propagating this collectivist thought into its modern form. Wolfson Economics Prize 2017; Topic: WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS???

Welcome to BookD - on today's episode, best selling crime author Paul Finch’s talks about the research aspect of his new book Strangers with ex under cover cop Ash Cameron. Strangers is a gloriously gripping read – a crime novel which will have fans of The Fall hooked from page one. A half-a-million copy bestseller already, Paul Finch is no stranger to the limelight, with the likes of Peter James calling him a “born storyteller”, whilst Rachel Abbott says Strangers is “compulsive reading”. And it’s no surprise, for Paul first cut his crime-writing teeth penning episodes of The Bill for ITV. It was here he learned how to reel the viewers in, and of course, how to leave them gasping for more. But with Strangers, Paul now explores the grimy underbelly of Manchester – a place where a female serial killer is on the loose, and no man is safe. His heroine, Lucy, eager to prove herself against the odds, takes on an assignment most of us would baulk at, agreeing to go undercover as a prostitute, in her efforts to apprehend one of the most depraved killers you’re likely to meet. For this, Paul turned to Ash whose book Confessions of an Undercover Cop published back in 2013. After years spent going undercover, Paul could think of no-one better to give the inside scoop as he researched Strangers. So what could be better than to hear them both in conversation, discussing the reality of one of the most dangerous professions around…
