I was there last month and I fell head over heels in love with the place. Every day it seems another state body is having its budget cut.It's like everything I argued for all those years ago in Life After the State - Why We Don't Need Government is suddenly happening in the real world, and it is wonderful.The result of all this is an economic boom that is starting to take everyone's breath away – even free market acolytes are surprised.You must invest in Argentina. You must have a position. What is happening there is equivalent to Eastern Europe after the fall of Communism, China at the turn of the 21st century, or the UK and US at the beginning of the Reagan-Thatcher era.With libertarianism being the dominant belief system of the Internet, and Milei, the poster boy for anarcho-capitalism, an internet sensation, you can rest assured that Argentina's success story is not going to be kept a secret. The Internet is going to let everyone know about it.Then to the north, we have the USA. Who was the first foreign leader to be invited to meet President-elect Donald Trump? You betcha. It was Javier Milei. That tells us where things are going.We have passionate libertarians Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy taking the knife to government and the deep state – I cannot emphasise enough how gripping a belief system libertarianism is once it takes hold - look what it's done to me - and it has clearly taken hold of these two.We also have a Trump administration that is much more organised and wiser than the previous incarnation, as well as more state shrinking. It knows who its enemies are and it seems ready for them.The US may be “minarchist-light” compared to Argentina, but even so, an economic boom is coming to this most entrepreneurial of countries. A lot of people are going make a lot of money.So you must also have a position in the US. It is already the world's biggest economy. How much is it going to grow with so many bureaucratic barriers of state removed?The Stagnant Side of the StreetThen we turn to the other side of the Atlantic. “The stagnant side of the street” to misquote the song.Here in the UK, we have gone the other way. We are increasing taxes. We are increasing state spending. We are growing government, and, in doing so, creating more barriers to innovation, invention, and entrepreneurship. Most of Western Europe is the same. These are countries run by blobs, by regulators and planners for regulators and planners, by technocrats who know better than you.Here's an example of the government helping. On 6 October 2020, when the FCA announced it was clamping down, bitcoin was $10,000. Today it's $97,500. I make that $87,500 per coin of gain that the UK citizen has been protected from. Great job guys. The UK was once at the vanguard of this breakthrough technology. Satoshi used English spelling, he quoted the Times. He may well have been British. Now we are bringing up the rear.It is just so much harder and more expensive to do anything entrepreneurial in the UK, whether it's setting up a business in the first place, hiring, the taxes you have to pay, the cost of regulation and compliance, or the exorbitant cost of housing and property, which drains capital that could be better invested elsewhere.Buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times? I urge you to. My recommended bullion dealer is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Prime Minister Keir Starmer is currently in the Gulf trying, as he says, to secure investment for the UK. “This government will build on partnerships that drive our mission to kickstart economic growth and put money back in working people's pockets,” he said yesterday. It's obvious that he thinks economic growth comes from government rather than the private sector. He actually thinks government spending is going to help. He does not realize because spending inevitably leads to higher taxes, and taxes stifle growth.I bet if you listed ten businesses and said which of these are wealth-creating and which are just wealth-extracting, he would not know the difference: it is not a thought process his mind would ever entertain. Yet the difference between the two is everything. Subsidised green energy is wealth extracting, compliance is wealth extracting, manufacturing (as long as it's not wind farms) and tech are mostly wealth creating. One builds wealth that did not previously exist - everybody wins - making stuff, growing stuff - the other is zero sum: it extracts wealth that already exists and sends it somewhere else - only the extractor and the recipient win. The guy who built the wealth in the first place loses. The most basic rule of taxation – you really should read Daylight Robbery – is that higher taxes and higher tax rates do not lead to greater government revenue. This administration does not get that most basic concept, which has existed for as long as there have been taxes (ie all of civilization). How can they be so stupid I've no idea, but they lead us.To invest in the UK is to invest in stagnation and regulation. That is not proper investment or wealth creation.The rest of Western Europe is no better.In addition, we are experiencing colossal levels of discontent, unprecedented migration, two-tiered justice, two-tiered welfare, rising crime, the disappearance of previously high-trust societies, and rising social tension.But thanks to the Internet, the stupidities of UK and European policies will continue to be laid bare to all. No amount of censorship is going to hide it. In any case, X has already killed censorship. Other platforms must now stop censoring, if they want to stay relevant. On the Internet people gravitate where speech is free-est.Meanwhile, such is the nature of memes, people are going to relentlessly take the piss, especially from the other side of the pond. Comedy is a powerful tool. Day after day, the meme-makers, led by Elon Musk himself, are going to expose Keir Starmer and his deluded team, never mind the EU and other technocrats, for the fools they are. The exposure the Internet brings will cause this technocratic left to backpedal a little – Starmer, as we saw from his 19th relaunch speech last week, has already started – though it will not be anywhere near enough. We need our own Javier Milei. But it is all is only going to exacerbate the current trend: long America, short the UK and Europe.So What To Do Now?I ran into one of the UK's most successful investors at a party last week. He told me he has moved everything he can out of sterling and out of the UK.

Heartland's Tim Benson is joined by Anthony Eames, director of scholarly initiatives at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, non-resident fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and professorial lecturer at the Elliott School of International Affairs at The George Washington University, to discuss his new book, A Voice in Their Own Destiny: Reagan, Thatcher, and Public Diplomacy in the Nuclear 1980s. They chat about how the administrations of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher used innovations in public diplomacy to build back support for their foreign policy agendas at a moment of widespread popular dissent. They also discuss how ow competition between the governments of Reagan and Thatcher, the Anglo-American antinuclear movement, and the Soviet peace offensive sparked a revolution in public diplomacy.Get the book here: https://www.umasspress.com/9781625347107/a-voice-in-their-own-destiny/

On this episode of Reaganism, Reagan Institute Director Roger Zakheim sits down with his colleague, and the director of the Reagan Institute's Scholarly Initiatives, Dr. Anthony Eames. They discuss Dr. Eames' latest book entitled, “A Voice in Their Own Destiny: Reagan, Thatcher, and Public Diplomacy in the Nuclear 1980s.” Topics covered include Soviet totalitarianism, public diplomacy, the Reagan-Thatcher relationship, and Nuclear policy in the 1980's.

The HBS hosts ask Michael Hardt why we so quickly jump from the 60's to the 80's in our political imagination? Most histories of the present either overlook the seventies, jumping from the sixties of radical struggle to the eighties of Reagan/Thatcher and repression, or dismiss it as just the end point of the previous era struggles, the point where the sixties fell apart, collapsing into infighting, or went too far, devolving into violence. What do we overlook in not thinking about the seventies as a decade of struggle? Moreover,  what does an examination of the  history of that period offer for thinking about politics today? Joining us this week to talk about what we can learn from the seventies and his recently published book, The Subversive Seventies, is Michael Hardt.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-107-the-subversive-seventies-with-michael-hardt-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

What it means to be a conservative has changed dramatically in the decades since Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Bloomberg Opinion's Global Business Columnist Adrian Wooldridge argues not all of that change has been for the better. He joins this episode to talk about why he believes conservatism in the US and UK has lost sight of its roots—and what conservatives can do to find their way back.

In today's episode, we want to talk about the pricing story that has made the news I guess, the mainstream news media, which is not that common in the world of pricing, and that is related to dynamic pricing for concert tickets. More specifically Bruce Springsteen tickets on a US national tour and the concept that pricing for those tickets has a dynamic element.   Dynamic pricing has some controversy around it because people don't like that there is a range of prices and they don't like that the price is not fixed. People feel a lack of transparency when there's more than one price and more than one price in one segment and more than one price for one product. So we thought this particular story is quite interesting not only because of the controversy around dynamic pricing as a methodology in pricing but also that how it's being introduced formally within the music industry. When there's a lot of people out there that that go, they're thinking of the music, the art form, they think about their favourite artists and they think that there's gonna be some kind of transparency reflected in the price point because they go in there for the love of the music, and now they're finding the artist has very little say around it. It's very commercialised. It's a business enterprise. There's no sort of you don't get rewarded for being a fan. Now you're getting penalised by paying higher prices for being a fan.    I think music and certainly pop stars and rock stars and the staff like that there is a fan surely the fan element that's how they get to where they are. Bruce Springsteen in the beginning started probably touring small halls. I'm again assuming this, he built up a fan base and those are loyal followers, etc. Admittedly they probably got in there and bought their tickets early, I'm guessing. But some of the points we'd like to make on this dynamic pricing, it's not as if dynamic pricing has not always applied to tickets. The second-hand market, ticket tote, and scalpers fundamentally have operated the infinite, ultimate dynamic pricing model with a standard try that concert hall and try to shift tickets, leftover tickets, or to anybody willing to pay and they will fundamentally charge that price. So that has probably what Ticketmaster here is doing, who is the agency selling the tickets? He's internalising that and giving them to use that willingness to pay. I suppose the old flat pricing model left all that extra profit on the table, the coracoid, the artist and the promoters who are putting cash behind the enterprise, and it was going to ticket tote basically who were who are filling that gap. There are people the day before or the week before who will pay significantly more for these tickets. Whether rich people, whether their superfans, whether even the sort of people in casinos when Elvis used to play in Vegas and you'd have high rollers would get free tickets to those big events and big sports games, etc. So it's nothing new under the sun. Probably to some extent, it's a smart move. I think you're internalising it, as long as you're segmenting it, it's not all tickets. And I think some of the stats we saw or at least because Ticketmaster was forced into defending themselves to some extent. And some of the stats that they did give were that 88% of tickets were sold at set prices below $400 before taxes and fees. So let's be honest, like that still is a hell of a lot of money. 400 American dollars, with the average price paid for the tickets of $200. So that left roughly 12% of tickets the in the market for dynamic pricing.   I think the controversy is more around how there are almost holding seats and tickets for profitability simply for profit. It's not just a little bit of profit quite a huge amount. If you go from a fixed price of say $200 per ticket to something like $5000 that's that's a huge leap in the price relativity price point. So that's number one and that's all being pocketed through the ticket agencies and the artists. I think fans have a right to ask, where is that money going? Is that fair? I think this interests me because generally dynamic pricing is explained by businesses as something to utilise and balance, supply and stock. But here we can see quite simply that stock and the seats are being kept back to push huge amounts of profits for the artists and the industry. So I find that that's an interesting point. Generally speaking, businesses don't really discuss willingness to pay again. And another interesting point that's been introduced with the concept of dynamic pricing, as I said before, you generally it's capacity utilisation that's pushed, not willing to pay. So here we're seeing how you're putting two concepts, pricing concepts together, dynamic pricing and willingness to pay now you can't get confused. They are very different concepts. And you got to be careful how you use them. Because if you start putting them together, you start thinking “okay, dynamic pricing is going to exploit our willingness to pay”. And, why are we willing to pay for our tickets?  Because we highly value the artists, we risk, fear of not seeing them if we can't get to see them. So we're being exploited here and to some degree through loss aversion theory, and that's pushing up the ticket prices and our willingness to pay. Then on top of that, we're hearing that the businesses are making huge amounts of profit consciously doing so. So this is why it is in the media, and it really should be explained because if you see a price point of $200, and then $5,000, you kind of know want to know where your money's going.    I think the music industry is the demographic certainly the United States and most of the world are changing. When a lot of these acts started, it was a concert where kids would go to concerts. Fundamentally, it was teenagers or young adults will go to concerts, and then they use that to buy records and the records were where the money came from. Obviously, with the complete change in the industry. It's almost like music has given us a premium through Spotify or streaming or whatever it is, and very few people buy records. And then the real money comes from the concert. And to a large extent, these acts that we're talking about are to some extent the baby boom act to have very wealthy older people following them. I don't know, again, this could be just pre-judging or whatever, but I assume a large amount of the population going to Bruce Springsteen will be older. I think Joanna touched on the concept of gouging, is this gouging? It's a grey area. Some of the articles we read suggested that Springsteen's getting old, and the band The E Street band or getting old. And so some people think this could be the last hurrah. This could be the last opportunity to see this band. Maybe some people have it on their bucket list or a dream to see Bruce Springsteen. The last two, three years have been very, you know, people feel also they've been excluded or kept away from entertainment and stuff like that. So there's probably pent-up demand also for people. So it can't be gouging because nobody needs to see a concert. Let's be honest about this. It's not like selling, a bottle of water or something to someone in a famine or food to somebody on a farm and it's not to that extent. But it is a grey area whereby to some extent is pushing into the area of, will people have a bad taste in their mouths? At the end of this, they look back and go Why would your view on that? And realistically, the view will not be on Ticketmaster the view will be on Bruce Springsteen. I would argue and maybe a concert even in general, there could be a negative, which I always think the definition of gouging is when after the experience you're committed never to deal with that seller ever again. And I would argue in pop music and rock music where there is you need affinity you need loyalty you need. It's not something in some cases, it is love, but you need a real affinity towards the act. It's not just about the music, it's about the lifestyle, the culture, the movement, and almost what it represents to you. If you're an artist and you're selling, you need to make sure you're segmenting that market because if you burn your base, if you burn your core, you know, your career is not gonna last too long.   I think another interesting point here is how pricing is being used to influence and direct behaviours here you've got quite a clear price cycle. They've kept the tickets low at the beginning of this price cycle to entice people to go to the concert to drive traffic to the concert. Fairly, you know, as I said, it's not a low price point. It's still $400 but it's a manageable price point. So that supposes the fans can go. So [A]  you learn all right at the beginning of the price cycle for ticket pricing, get your tickets early, because you really will be paying so much more towards the end, maybe two weeks after the first launch of the first price tickets. And then obviously, they're sort of they're almost training people to do that like by quickly and also they're training people to accept extremely high prices for being late in the cycle. So you didn't get your tickets early. So it's your accountability for that. So, therefore, you have to pay more, and not just two times more, three, four or five times more for the price and I'm we can change that and you can't ask questions is kind of the conversation that's going on here. So the onus is completely on us. And what is interesting is how a price point can influence huge amounts of people all at once to do so just one or two things, and how the industry in itself can change by a price point. The music industry is changing pretty much because Spotify has changed the dynamics of that industry. But now it's all going Yeah, through two gigs, live music, but it's that price point that is changing how people buy which I find interesting and ticket tech is experimenting has been like for quite a few years now. Some interesting approaches, and now I do see them bringing that dynamic pricing and willingness to pay to the forefront before it was behind the scenes and now they're trying to push that one.   I suppose the final point I'll make on this, I could be completely wrong, but I think some of it reflects on changes in this society. I think entertainment a lot of things used to be much more egalitarian. Certainly, after World War Two, the whole world was to work towards at least the Western world went to much more of an egalitarian system welfare state. Football was the everyman sport. Pop concerts were affordable, and affordable luxuries were certainly affordable for kids and that sort of thing. They didn't break the bank sort of things. I think we're going back to more of a golden age almost, within the Siak less sort of concept where they're super rich are it's fine, no to discriminate. It's fine. This is for the rich, I'm not making a value judgment I'm just pointing out what I see. And I'm seeing this happening more and more whereby price has been used as a method to discriminate against and exclude people from you can't afford it. When the luxuries are there for the rich, and I think you'll see it and I think conspicuous wealth has been pushed probably more now than then. Certainly, maybe the 80s is famous for conspicuous wealth and you know, the yuppies and the Reagan Thatcher years of course. But I think if you go back to the youth movements, the 60s, the 70s. Like I tell you, if you try to put on a dynamic pricing model at Woodstock, I'm not sure what would happen. So I think a lot of it is the market and the time and the age that we're in accounts for a lot of things. It's not a one-way movement. It goes both ways. And I just think this is we are known this is a discriminatory basis, and it's discrimination on money and wealth and, you know, sophistication or whatever else you want to talk about, but this is I would argue this as a sign of it.   It's an interesting point in itself. I mean, you can see that from the channels to market you've got TikTok, you've got Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify, which are all for the masses. It's cheap, it's accessible. Yeah, you got all the options that you want. However, it's not real life. And really, that's where the low price point is. You're not joining real life, you're watching it vicariously through a screen and all that sort of stuff. However, if you want to experience the real thing, the real deal, then you're in that very small segment now and you have to pay and it's not just it's maybe 800 times the normal exit the price more just to be a part of the real world now. So this is quite a virtual reality versus real-world scenario and the price points that reflect that is a really interesting and mind-bending thought, and it fills you sort of with a mixture of feelings. And I suppose there's quite a lot to up to unpack in and of itself, but I think this particular article, it's brought about new price leadership in a way. It's psychological pricing, and it's the division between business and customers but almost through an alignment of value drivers. Yes as an understanding of value drivers but also how you use that information when you set prices, how you use different channels and how you price those channels. Because if you hit see hear clearly if you see music as through Spotify, and in real life in an arena, then you can see the price point is hugely different. Now, in any other business, if it's done in retail, you'd say is that fair? But hear clearly people are saying it's completely fair. How come it's not fair in other industries?   My final point on this one, I think it is fair. It's just you have to be aware of when you're selling, what it says and what it creates and the atmosphere in the mix. I give the example of Wimbledon, the tennis contest. And look it's probably one of the most segmented markets I'd assume. You've got the royal family you've got the Tom Cruises of his world, etc. in the Royal box. But then you also have the I think it's a queueing system. They operate every day where people queue up and buy tickets because clearly when you could access demand for a product, you either discriminate based on price or you use the Soviet queueing system. But this queueing system gives people the impression that everyone can afford it. That everyone can be part of it that it's not completely outside your realm of you getting it and so you have to consider not just the money but what it means to your base and the longer-term impacts of stuff. But I think that's more psychological and for the later podcast, so I'll leave it there today.   I think my last point on this is that ticket Tech has done this over several years. It's not something we're just bringing upon their customer base there. As I say they're training their customers and I think if you're listening to this podcast from different industries, think about that, how you can understand what your customers value? And then think about your brisk business strategy and see how you can align it because that alignment doesn't occur overnight and even today, we've got 90% return ticket tech, in this instance, 90% of the tickets were at a fixed price and they've only introduced about you know, 9% are being dynamic pricing. So I wouldn't say it's 100% Holy accepted even within the music industry, but let's have a look, is that percentage going to grow in terms of dynamic prices versus fixed pricing in the music industry? I would say it probably is but there'll be a balance. And what we can say is ticket tech is trying to find that balance.   Like I try to keep the spirit of the 60s alive. So I'm just gonna jump dance. I'm not paying anything. Okay, we'll leave it there today. 

On this edition of Parallax Views, we are hot off the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference aka COP25. Joining us in light of this is Prof. Anatol Lieven, a Senior Fellow at the Quincy Institute and a former academic at King's College in London. According to Lieven, in a new report he authored, climate change is our greatest national security threat. We discuss this and his book Climate Change and the Nation State: The Case for Nationalism (which, as you'll hear in the conversation in this episode I prefer the alternative British title of Climate Change and the Nation State: The Realist Case). In this conversation we discuss how Lieven became interested in climate change as someone who came out of security studies; civic nationalism and/or patriotism vs. ethno-nationalism, legitimate concerns over the concept and idea of nationalism, the need to reject ethno-nationalism, Lieven's critique of cultural individualism and Reagan/Thatcher-style politics, Lieven's criticism of power elites and especially Pentagon/military elites, Lieven's criticisms of how the Left approaches climate change and politics, unifying people in the fight against climate change, misconceptions about the Realist School of Foreign Policy in relation to issues like human rights and ethics, the potential of climate chaos to cause a refugee crisis, the need for international cooperation, the anarchic world system, migration and climate change, migration and radicalization of the right, the need to make individual sacrifices to combat climate crisis, why climate change is a bigger national security threat to the U.S. (and the world) than China, Teddy Roosevelt, the fossilization and atrophying of thought within the U.S. foreign policy "Blob" due to generational strangleholds, Lieven's support for the Green New Deal, mentioning the failings of the previous New Deal of FDR in terms of how it didn't necessarily help marginalized people in society enough, conservatism and environmentalism, why conservatives should be concerned about climate change and why it would fit within a broad definition of conservative thought and its intellectual tradition (also how supporting reform could fit into that tradition), the effect of climate change on the U.S. and Western nations already, how technological fixes are not enough in the near-term future, climate change as a threat multiplier, fights over water in places like Darfur, the capacity of climate change to cause food shortages (which in turn have historically caused revolutions, public unrest, and civil war), the need for a "new dispensation" as we saw under FDR, the need for social solidarity, the strains of American nationalism, at this current point only states can be pushed to introduce policies that will address climate change, the United Nations as a body of states, John Mearsheimer's The Great Tragedy of Power Politics, climate change may bring about the collapse of the nation state system, Lieven's belief that we cannot wait till the end of capitalism to deal with climate change, the need to reform capitalism at the very least, heatwaves and forest fires in the U.S., sea level rise and intensified storm and storm surged having the potential to causing damaging floods, comparing the U.S. national security elites of today to those of the Confucian elites in imperial China, the need to assess new threats rather than being unadopted to and blindsided by them, the problem of "residual elites" and their concern with "Great Power" threats, the worst offender in the world of climate change other than the Gulf states, the Glasgow summit and what it demonstrates, currently existing technological fixes for climate change aren't radical enough, the lessons of COP26 and the need for investments into new technologies, the need to invest in storage in relation to alternative energy, the need to research nuclear and fusion energy, carbon capture, tech is not a miracle cure, Biden's military spending and why Lieven views it as grotesque, America's radical individualism and the need for a renewal of civic duty, embittered cultural divisions and polarization being whipped up across the political spectrum, the U.S. neglect of Central America, Trump's hollowing out of the EPA and the threat of Trumpism to the American struggle against climate change, and much, much more.

Ce constat n’est pourtant pas nouveau. L’élection de Donald Trump et le vote du Brexit sont à l’instar du couple Reagan/Thatcher du début des année 80. C'est un marqueur fort de l’apparition d’un nouveau mouvement politique remettant en cause l’intégration économique mondiale. Le retour du risque politique, qui avait eu tendance à s’estomper, est de retour du fait de la la remise en cause de la mondialisation au cœur du système occidental Il va générer du risque pour les années à venir, bien que ce choc soit en cours d’absorption.

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Looking for the extra-special, special extra segment? The Small Matter of the Bill New elections may cost Israel as much as 5 billion shekels. Should politicians take into account the small matter of the bill? Friedman is the New Jabotinsky The “First Conference on Israeli Conservatism” fills a huge conference center, mostly with kippah-capped men. What accounts for the new affinity between Reagan-Thatcher politics and economics and Israeli Modern Orthodoxy? Heschel is the New Herzl Should Reform, conservative and reconstructionist Jews in Israel take to the streets to fight for political causes that have nothing to do with religious pluralism like, say, social and economic justice? Why Has TAU Declined to Denude the University of All Its Sackleriana? For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss in our extra-special, special extra segment the urgent request sent by Physicians for Human Rights, Israel, to Tel Aviv University, asking to remove the name “Sackler” from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, on the grounds that the famous family of Jewish philanthropists’ own Purdue Pharma, the makers of Oxycontin, a drug that has ravaged so much of the US (which request the university refused because, you know, money is useful to buy things).

In this week’s podcast we feature the steadfast relationship between Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher did more than just sit across from each other as government heads. They became allies and they became friends.

Is there something fundamentally different about contemporary capitalism than the system that Adam Smith identified, Karl Marx critiqued, and John Maynard Keynes sought to reform? If so, is there a unique underlying logic to what is frequently called Neo-Liberalism (aka post-Reagan/Thatcher capitalism)? Co-hosts Eric Newman and LARB Economics and Finance editor Michelle Chihara speak with Political Economist Martijn Konings about his ambitious new book, Capital and Time: For a New Critique of Neo-Liberal Reason, which posits that, yes, the current global order is distinct in ways that impacts every aspect of our lives. This raises two essential issues: one, on the economic and political front, how can we hope to reform (let alone challenge) Neo-Liberalism if we don't have a solid theoretical understanding of how it operates in our daily lives; two, on the philosophical front, given how all-encompoassing this system is in our materialist society, what does it say about how we experience "reality," in particular time. As Martin takes us through the changes that led to the rise of Neo-Liberal logic, he reveals the web we are entangled in - and, to paraphrase one of Martijn's predecessors, an accurate interpretation of the world is a necessary first step to changing it. Also, Brian Phillips, author of Impossible Owls, drops by to recommend Rebecca West's beautiful, heart-wrenching 1956 novel The Fountain Overflows.

In the second of a MARS HILL AUDIO series of special interviews examining politics and theology, theologian Peter J. Leithart (Between Babel and Beast: America and Empires in Biblical Perspective) discusses some of the issues raised explicitly during the current presidential campaign and the failure of many voters and observers to ask how the explosive mood of the present moment reveals deep problems in American political culture. In a recent on-line commentary, Leithart observed that “contemporary political culture is the product of a convergence of two strains of liberalism: a leftist cultural libertarianism that took off during the 1960s and 1970s, and a rightwing free-market liberalism that reached its apogee with the Reagan-Thatcher alliance.” Leithart continued: “Though they come from opposite ends of the political spectrum, both strains of liberalism are founded on a concept of freedom as the emancipation of individual choice.” Leithart suggested that the sense of dismay many currently have about our political possibilities offers Christians “a rare opportunity to take stock and ask some basic questions about our polity.” He proceeds to list a dozen or so questions we should be asking far beyond who to vote for in November: “Are gay marriage and legalized abortion deviations from American values, or expressions of them? Can we disentangle the two strains of liberalism? Can we defend free markets without endorsing free love? What does ‘freedom’ mean? . . . Can politics be humane without recognizing that human beings are souls? Are campaigning and voting the be-all and end-all of Christian political action, or are we better off diverting some of those dollars and hours to less flashy projects that have the potential to leaven political culture over the long haul?” This feature is hosted by Ken Myers, producer of the MARS HILL AUDIO Journal.

In Episode 5 of The Rights Track, Todd asks Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, Professor of International Affairs at the New School in New York, about human development and her work to develop a way of measuring and comparing how well countries do at upholding their social and economic rights obligations. 0.00-5.55 minutes Explanation of how the Human Development Index and associated reports came about and those involved in their concept and development The thinking behind the HDI and how it was designed to rival GDP (Gross Domestic Product) as a measure of economic success and a better measurement of how countries and their population are progressing and developing How the HDI challenged current thinking and perspectives on evaluating progress by focusing on freedoms to do and be what we value Defining well-being as people's capabilities e.g. the ‘right to be able to read' or the ‘right to have an education' 5.55-9.30 minutes How the HDI works - its scoring system How the HDI enabled measurement and analysis to catch the attention of policy makers, and global leaders for the first time How the Index offers us interesting new insights into how well or badly a country is doing in using its economic resources to better the lives of its people (examples given of Cuba and Costa Rica) 9.30-21.25 An explanation of the difference between human development and human rights How Sakiko and colleagues came to develop the Social and Economic Rights Fulfilment Index (SERF) Sakiko's personal motivation for setting up an Index for measuring social and economic rights and the links between human development and human rights The political (Reagan-Thatcher era) context and backdrop of the development the Index and the tensions around the ideas being put forward Sakiko draws comparison between some of the issues of that time with what's been happening with austerity in countries like Greece How and why the HDI developed into the SERF Index Taking account of resource constraints in the measurement and analysis The challenges and debates among academics and practitioners around whether or not it was possible to create an effective measurement tool for economic and social rights How data was key to creating the index The sorts of things that were taken into consideration in the Index 21.25-26.34 The components of the SERF Index and how those things are drawn from the core rights laid out in law in the International Covenant on Economic and Social and Cultural Rights The Achievement Possibility Frontier - what it is and how it works Sakiko gives examples of how the Index is used to analyse a country's performance on things like achieving the right to food/income etc. and compare that with other countries 26.34-end What the Index has achieved and how it has helped developed our ability to measure progress What the Index tells us over time The constraints that go beyond GDP, e.g. how something like Ebola can compromise how a country can deliver the right to heat SERF Index as a resource for researchers Other links It's about values: human rights norms and tolerance for inequality interesting article from Sakiko published on OpenGlobalRights
