Podcasts about state intervention

We have just completed our quarterly analysis of FSU casework and dive into the results of that during today's episode. The first quarter of 2025 was our busiest ever with 411 new incidents received in the FSU inbox. This growth in caseload is directly related to the continuing increase in FSU active membership, which is now running at over 4,000 new members per quarter. ‘State Intervention', which ranges from police contact and Non-Crime Hate Incidents through to arrest and prosecution, is a growing proportion of our work, representing 23% of new cases for the year to date, up from just 10% as recently as 2023. The good news is that, for cases that we see through from beginning to end, our member achieves a favourable outcome 80% of the time. We end the episode with a discussion on our third Belfast speakeasy that was held on Friday 11th April – the video should be up later in the week. We wish all our listeners and viewers a very Happy Easter! ‘That's Debatable!'  is edited by Jason Clift.

“Unfettered capitalism” creates a “dog-eat-dog” world in which the strong profit at the expense of the weak, everyone only looks out for their own interests, and society becomes selfish, atomized, and less human, with its members caring only about making money, not about each other.So goes the standard mainstream view of a free society, and free markets. If you went to a government school, you heard some version of this.Economist Guido Hulsmann has a new book out that tears this caricature to shreds. In Abundance, Generosity, and the State: An Inquiry into Economic Principles, Dr. Hulsmann systematically demonstrates the ways in which people naturally tend to help each other and to produce goods and services that do not directly benefit them in any material way.He then shows us how government intervention works to stifle and even squash much of this activity – from government control in money and banking encouraging irresponsible financial behavior and discouraging voluntary donations (if you take nothing else from this interview, be sure to take note of the “saturation mechanism” and what happens to it in an interventionist system), to the tragic outcomes of the welfare state. Dr. Hulsmann turns the standard caricature on its head, and shows us in painstaking detail, how it is not freedom, but coercive interventions in the lives of free people that work to create a society of self-centered and atomized individuals.Dr Hülsmann is a professor of economics at the University of Angers in France. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.His website is here.And his book, Abundance, Generosity, and the State: An Inquiry into Economic Principles, is here.The book he mentions, The Welfare State We're In, by James Bartholomew, can be found here.

From crude oil to electricity, we delve into the complex nature of commodities, energy markets and supply chains, highlighting the multiple transactions and transformations that occur while commodities convert into usable products that reach their end users.

They start by exploring the concept of neutral host infrastructure and how that could provide the solution to a lot of the coverage challenges presented by 5G.

Capitalism has major issues to address about the failures of its neoliberal model. Greater state intervention in the economy is being pursued in the United States and Britain. Although this may seem a radical departure from neoliberal orthodoxy, nevertheless it is nothing like the levels of nationalisation and state intervention which once prevailed. Facing global challenges, especially from China, will these modest departures from free market dogma be enough to save capitalism?

The Government’s latest housing bill proposes policies that would reserve 50% of future housing estates for first-time buyers and prohibit bulk buying by cuckoo funds.  But is state intervention in the housing market really easing the crisis or is it, infact, making matters worse?  To debate this we heard from Karl Deeter  Founder of Onlineapplication.io and a financial adviser / analyst Yes.ie and Rory Hearne, Author of Housing shock; the Irish Housing Crisis and how to solve it and Lecturer in Social Policy at Maynooth University.

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we continue the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. This week we're discussion Chapter 2, "The Accumulation of Labor and the Degradation of Women: Constructing 'Difference' in the 'Transition to Capitalism'" and it's myriad of topics including: Capitalist Accumulation and the Accumulation of Labor in Europe; Land Privatization in Europe, the Production of Scarcity and the Separation of Productions from Reproduction; The Price Revolution and the Pauperization of the European Working Class; The State Intervention in the Reproduction of Labor: Poor Relief, and the Criminalization of the Working Class; Population Decline, Economic Crisis, and the Disciplining of Women; The Devaluation of Women's Labor; Women: The New Commons and the Substitute for the Lost Land; The Patriarchy of Wage; The Taming of Women and the Redefinition of Femininity and Masculinity: Women the Savages of Europe; Colonization, Globalization, and Women; Sex, Race and Class in the Colonies; Capitalism and the Sexual Division of Labor. Next week, we dive into Chapter 3, "The Great Caliban: The Struggle Against the Rebel Body." Let us know your thoughts and questions!Who's in this conversation?Rakel Stammer is an artist and teacher who primarily works in painting and drawing, but also dabbles in sound, installation, collage, writing, photography, printmaking and performance. Her work has been published in several magazines, anthologies and journals across the world and she has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. She was on the show before, pre-COVID in October 2019, talking about her series “The C%#& (C-word) Drawings” completed during a residency at Deer Creek Collective. Rakel speaks publicly and writes about capitalism, art, trauma, dominance and violence, seen through an anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist lens!Carolita Johnson is a cartoonist (The New Yorker magazine) and illustrator from NYC. She spent 13 years in Paris, France, after graduating from Parson's School of Design with a degree in Fashion Design. In Paris, she earned a masters degree in Modern Letters and Linguistics, and got some (admittedly very idiosyncratic) chops in pre-doctoral Medieval Anthropology, which turned out to be her gateway drug to cartoons and illustration. She is also a writer, has appeared on HBO and NPR, performed in various esteemed settings, is an alumnus of the O+ Festival, and most recently added teaching via SUNY New Paltz to her list of accomplishments.FEMINIST ACTION! Support NY Caring Majority's efforts to increase the wages for home care workers. Call Senate and Assembly leadership and let them know that #FairPay4HomeCare is a win-win for all New Yorkers! Let us know once you make the call here: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfxBCAC.../viewform...Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, (518) 455-2585Speaker of the Assembly Carl Heastie, (518) 455-3791SCRIPT: Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I'm calling to urge [THEIR NAME] to include Fair Pay 4 Home Care in this year's one-house budget and ensure that home care workers receive a wage of at least 150% of the minimum wage. Because of the current low pay, New York is the center of a workforce shortage in this sector, with even more home care workers leaving the workforce in droves right when we need them most. This is forcing many seniors and people with disabilities to live in nursing homes instead of receiving their services at home. Assemblymember Dick Gottfried and Senator Rachel May are sponsoring this budget priority, and the bill number is S5374. Will you include Fair Pay 4 Home Care in the one-house budget?Theresa and Ana's New Moon Virtual Circle "Triple Goddess: Maiden, Mother Crone" - Saturday, March 13th 7-9pmToday's show was engineered by Nick Panken, host of Freedom Highway, AND produced, hosted, and edited by ME, Theresa, so please forgive any hiccups.Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFY | STITCHERITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCASTITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/she-wants/i-want-what-she-has?refid=stpr'Follow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcastTWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

As the childcare sector grapples with needing support and funding, forcing three centres here in Clare to close their doors, childcare providers are hoping that a sustainability fund, further details of which are expected tomorrow, will be a strong investment into their industry.

Today, we think of education as a centrally controlled monolith, with policy driven from the top down, and schoolkids shuttled through classrooms like widgets on an assembly line. But this wasn't always the case. Education was once managed by the choices of individual families that more closely resembled what we call homeschooling today.In this episode, Deanna and Joel talk about how a few influential policymakers from the 19th century helped create what would become the Leviathan that is the modern education system.Check out a trial of the Literature Plus curriculum:http://www.pisanacademy.com/freeIf you'd like to tell your homeschooling story on the Passionate Homeschooler podcast, let us know:http://www.pisanacademy.com/shareSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/passionatehomeschooler)

Unprecedented state intervention - but still workers suffer? The British government has pledged hundreds of billions in funding during the Covid-19 pandemic. The US Congress has approved trillions. Capitalist governments in multiple countries seem to be abandoning privatisation and market competition for nationalisation and central coordination. It looks quite a lot like some of the policies socialists call for. But corporate profits are being subsidised. The big banks and finance sector are untouched. And workers are receiving too little too late when it comes to income and safety protections. In fact, lack of personal protective equipment is killing frontline health workers in the UK, and 10 million workers have joined the unemployment lines in just two weeks in the US. What does this U-turn in policy direction by the capitalists, amid a complete failure of their system, say about capitalism - and the socialist alternative?

This is part two of the podcast series discussing race, gender, and how the government intervenes in individual's lives. In this episode, Anshul Agrawal and Sierra Townsend speak to Shiva Subbaraman, the Director of the LGBTQ Resource Center at Georgetown University. Shiva speaks about her experience with activities centered around diversity and equity. She also discusses some ideas about how we can move forward to include more diverse viewpoints in decision-making processes in our country and even on Georgetown's campus.

This is part one of a live two part podcast series dedicated to the discussion of the intersection between race and gender and how the government intervenes in individuals' lives. In this episode, Caroline Sheehan and Paula Hong invite Paula's friend Arisa Herman, student at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service who identifies as a feminist and activist. She also identifies as mixed race and therefore, discusses the intersection between her race and gender and ties in how the state has played a role in her life.

In this episode, I cover the biggest news story of the week, that of the recent announcement by North and South Korea that their countries are at peace and have pledged denuclearisation. This is just what the world needs right now at this very volatile time. I also cover the tragic death and treatment of Alfie Evans and the valiant attempt by his parents to get him to an Italian hospital for treatment. This story connects into other areas than have been covered on and in the news, which I talk about. Robotics and automation are taking over from humans in jobs. I talk about the significance of this and why it’s more important to address and another two stories I feature connect into this, that of high street shops disappearing due to rental rates while giant corporations thrive. Both of these issues are connected and I explain why. Here’s the clip from the movie Idiocracy that I mention in this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUTZmSyDErg Thanks to Colm Kelly for editing & music.

This presentation was recorded during the inter-parliamentary meeting for ParlAmericas’ Anglophone membership, Partnerships to Transform Gender Relations, held in Kingston, Jamaica on January 24 and 25, 2018.

I sit down and talk to Dr. Jamie Whyte, Head of Research at the Institute of Economic Affairs, and former leader of ACT New Zealand. He outlines his ideas of a dynamic schooling system totally free from State Intervention, and adaptive to the needs of Parents and Society.
