Jeanne Lenzer is an award-winning independent medical investigative journalist and author whose hard-hitting investigations and analyses have appeared in medical journals, such as The BMJ and the Journal of Family Practice, and in outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, the Atlantic, Washington Monthly, Newsweek Japan, Mother Jones, and Discover. Her first book, The Danger Within Us: America's Untested, Unregulated Medical Device Industry and One Man's Battle to Survive It, explores themes that have been at the heart of Lenzer's work over the past three decades: the intersection of money and medicine and how profiteering distorts medical science and undermines the public health, often by gaming or misrepresenting research to obtain a desired outcome. The book served as a basis for the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' award-winning Implant Files project on medical devices and for the Netflix show, Bleeding Edge . It was used by John Oliver for his segment on medical devices as well as by the television show, The Resident for segments on the vagus nerve stimulator. It was favorably reviewed by Jerome Groopman in The New Yorker. Her investigations have revealed hidden financial ties between industry and public institutions, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health. In each instance, she documented flawed scientific recommendations that serve to protect profits over public health. Examples include the CDC's recommendation for oseltamivir (Roche, Tamiflu), a campaign that was paid for by Roche; and the FDA's approval of drugs over the (sometimes unanimous) recommendations of their own scientists - after being contacted by politicians beholden to manufacturers. http://www.jeannelenzer.com/

We discuss a lot today including whatever you want. We cover the January 6th hearings as well as the inflation fraud we are living through. There's an oil glut, not a shortage. High prices are a worldwide fraud by corporations: Here's why. We are asked to forego common sense. Here is why I believe there is an oil glut and why there is a fraudulent price gouging of Americans. These high gasoline prices are a fraud on us all. Right-Wing Conservative Judge J. Michael Luttig destroys Trump & his sycophants at Jan 6 hearing: He did not mince his words as he called Trump and his sycophants a clear and present danger. The Revelations of the Jan. 6 Hearings Must Be Communicated Better If US Democracy Is to Survive: It is not too late for Committee leadership and Democratic party leadership to wake up.

When he died in 2012, David Fleming -- a polymath thinker among the earliest to address Peak Oil -- left behind an unusual book manuscript about climate change, the fragility of capitalism, and the likely nature of our post-capitalist future. Fortunately, Shaun Chamberlin, a British author and activist who was Fleming's associate, shepherded the manuscript to publication as 'Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It' and a companion volume, 'Surviving the Future.' In this podcast, Chamberlin reflects on Fleming's brilliant, visionary writings and his own ongoing activism and initiatives.

While researching private schools in India for the World Bank, and worried he was doing little to help the poor, James Tooley wandered into the slums of Hyderabad’s Old City. Shocked to find it overflowing with tiny, parent-funded schools filled with energized students, he set out to discover if schools like these could help achieve universal education.Do private schools exist across the world in the poorest of areas? In third world countries, how do you find private schools? Are there low-cost private schools?

Universities aim to be centers of learning that find the best and brightest students, treat them fairly, and equip them with the knowledge they need to lead better lives. But Jason Brennan and Phillip Magness join us today to show how American universities fall far short of this ideal.What is the purpose of college? What are academics getting out of university life? What do students want from their university experience? What is a wage premium? Are students actually learning skills they need? Do employers think that college graduates are lacking writing skills? What is wrong with student evaluations? What would it take to actually measure teacher effectiveness? How is tenure a barrier to entry to the academic field?Further Reading:Cracks in the Ivory Tower: The Moral Mess of Higher Education, written by Jason Brennan and Phillip Magness‘Cracks in the Ivory Tower’, written by Scott JaschikWhen All Else Fails: The Ethics of Resistance to State Injustice, written by Jason BrennanRelated Content:College: Too Costly, Too Little Learning, Too Much Underemployment, Free Thoughts PodcastCracks in the Ivory Tower: A Dispiriting Assessment of Higher Education, written by Aeon SkobleThe Education Apocalypse: How It Happened and How to Survive It, Free Thoughts Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

He was also one of the early whistle-blowers on oil depletion and designer of the influential TEQs carbon/energy rationing system. He read Modern History at Trinity College, Oxford, and later earned an MBA and then an MSc and PhD in economics (in 1988).

It’s something of a cliche to note that higher education is in need of disruption. A decade ago, Massive Open Online Courses promised to make college more affordable and accessible, yet MOOC-based degree programs don’t carry the social signal that a traditional program does. We talk about a new startup called BitDegree that isn’t trying to compete with traditional higher education, instead promising a potentially free education for aspiring programmers by partnering with companies looking to hire new talent and willing to design courses that will produce the skillsets they are looking for in that talent.But whatever needs disrupting in the classroom, everyone can agree that our student loan system is broken. Graduates enter the workforce with piles of non-dischargeable loan debt, locking them into career tracks, discouraging entrepreneurship, and undermining long term financial security for Millennials and Generation Z. We explore alternative funding models, including income share agreements like that at Purdue University.What is a MOOC? Are online classes as effective as in-person classes? Do online classes serve as a viable alternative to the 4-year college track? Are there problems associated with online education? Is there a value to the non-educational experiences on college campuses? What is a human capital contract? Could online education allow students to avoid overwhelming loans in the future?Further Reading:Feds in the Classroom: How Big Government Corrupts, Cripples, and Compromises American Education, written by Neal McCluskeyPublic Schooling Battle Map, Cato InstituteCommon Core Doesn’t Seem to Be Working; That May Be Just Fine, written by Neal McCluskeyRelated Content:The Case Against Education, Free Thoughts PodcastThe Education Apocalypse: How It Happened and How to Survive It, Free Thoughts PodcastThe State of State Education in America, Free Thoughts Podcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Transition Towns founder Rob Hopkins describes the late historian and green economist David Fleming as "one of the most original, brilliant, urgently-needed, under-rated and ahead-of-his-time thinkers of the last 50 years." Fleming thought the globalised market economy would, in the not too distant future, begin to fail as it faces limits to growth from resource depletion, and said: "Localisation stands, at best, at the limits of practical possibility. But it has the decisive argument in its favour that there is no alternative." And his work explores how we can create rich local cultures and economies as an alternative to global capitalism.Fleming died suddenly in 2010, but his good friend, Shaun Chamberlin has recently turned a manuscript Fleming left behind, into two books: his magnum opus, Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It, and a smaller introductory text, Surviving the Future: Culture, Carnival and Capital in the Aftermath of the Market Economy. We speak to Shaun by Skype from his home in Devon. Shaun's also behind the website darkoptimism.org where you can read his rather impressive bio, which includes co-founding Transition Town Kingston, and authoring the Transition movement's second book The Transition Timeline. You can find out more about the books at the Fleming Policy Institute. We also mention the Dark Mountain Project and Mark Boyle, the Moneyless Man.

Wednesday, 12 October, 2016 - 20:00 to 22:00. With Rob Hopkins and Shaun Chamberlin. Already a key influence on the Transition movement, Green Party, New Economics Foundation and Soil Association, Fleming’s legacy is only set to grow with the posthumous publication of his astonishing masterpiece, Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It (link is external). Building on the tradition of E.F. Schumacher, his entertaining vision of a post-growth economy built on the play, humour, rootedness and reciprocal obligations of a rich culture has long inspired optimism and action. Rob and Shaun will share insights and anecdotes on his life, influence and enduring importance. We will also hear from the man himself, through recently unearthed recordings. Books will be available on the night. This is the full audio of the evening.

In episode 6 of the Work and How to Survive it podcast, Antony Froggett interviews Dr Myna Trustram about her work with museums. Myna Trustram Myna describes her work in museums and explains how she became involved in using the ideas of the Tavistock, Psychoanalysis and Group Analysis to understand the unconscious dynamics of museums. She discusses some of the ideas that she is developing, including the concept of the Museum in the Mind, to understanding our personal and societal relationship to the past. Using her experience as a museum curator and an organisational consultant she describes how the collection of objects in museums can be used to avoid confronting change or in a creative way to "work through" (a Freudian term) personal and social issues. She argues that museums play an important role within society and are important to people by their existence whether or not they choose to visit them. She ends by describing the particular challenges faced by museums in confronting change (for example, due to cuts in public funding) and links this to their task of trying to preserve objects and a wish to not lose elements of the past. Biography: Dr Myna Trustram studied history at the universities of Essex and Bristol. Her book, Women of the Regiment: Marriage and the Victorian Army was published by Cambridge University Press in 1984 and re-printed in 2008. She has worked in museums for over twenty years, holding curatorial, management and research posts in London, Southampton, Preston and Manchester. In 2008 she completed the Tavistock Clinic's MA in Organisational Consultancy and in 2009 the Institute of Group Analysis introductory course in group analysis. Her writing and research about the symbolic meaning of museums and collecting integrates these psychoanalytic, museological and historical strands. She is particularly influenced by Tavistock group relations theory, Winnicott and Bollas. She is currently an organisational consultant specialising in research and evaluation. Recent Articles by Myna Trustram: 2011 ‘Response to “Freud’s Antiquities”’, Psychodynamic Practice 17 (1), pp.73-9. 2012 forthcoming ‘The “Little Madnesses” of Museums’ in Annette Kuhn (ed.)

Antony Froggett interviews Dr Ceri Dornan about Balint Groups in episode 5 of the Work and How to Survive it podcast. Dr Ceri Dornan talks about the history of Balint Groups, describes how a Balint Group works and why they can be so enlivening and stimulating for those who get involved. She mentions the research that suggests Balint Groups can prevent "burn out" for professionals, but also explains why Balint Groups may not be for everyone. Balint Groups are named after Michael Balint (a Hungarian psychoanalyst), who together with his wife Enid, set training groups for GPs at the Tavistock Clinic in London in the 1950s. Traditionally a Balint group is a group of GPs (doctors in general practice) who meet on a regular basis with two facilitators (a psychotherapist and a GP) to explore in depth their experience of the doctor - patient relationship. They do this to become more aware of the complexities of the dynamics in their consultations and to be more effective in their engagements with patients. Since these beginnings Balint Groups have been organised for other medical specialities (such as psychiatrists in training in the UK) and also for other professional groups who work closely with clients - such as social workers, academic tutors, counsellors and even lawyers. If you would like to find out more about Balint Groups you can join one of the Balint Group weekends which take place in Oxford, Lancashire and Northumberland each year (see the weblink below). People within the Greater Manchester area can explore the possibility of joining one of the Balint Groups organised by Thinking Space Consultancy by telephoning 0161 820 7899 or using our contact form.

In episode 4, Antony Froggett and Jim Davis discuss the issue of authenticity at work. What do we mean by authenticity and why is it relevant to the world of work? Most people agree that authenticity is a good thing, just like honesty, so why then is there so little emphasis on the importance of authenticity in the workplace? There is perhaps an "authenticity paradox" in which organisations wish to prescribe behaviour (and sometimes attitudes) that are seen as "good" (good for efficiency, good for profits, good for customer care) but in doing so they create interactions between workers and clients which are lifeless, disengaged and routine. Authentic engagement is often viewed as a good thing but it cannot be prescribed or monitored as easily as conventional work goals. Authenticity (and the spontaneity that it requires) is therefore anxiety provoking and disconcerting. There is the anxiety of not knowing where an authentic conversation might lead and the fear of making mistakes. Paradoxically, it is when things are most difficult (e.g. when someone wishes to make a complaint) that an authentic, non-scripted dialogue is likely to be experienced as genuinely helpful by clients.

Welcome to the Work And How To Survive It podcast brought to you by Thinking Space ConsultancyIn episode 3 we discuss the article by Tim Dartington called In Defence of Inefficiency.In this podcast we explore Dartington's arguments about the limitations of efficiency - in particular how professional judgement and leadership are potentially excluded by an emphasis on following procedures for decision-making. He argues that workers inevitably end up orientating themselves towards the procedures, and the management monitoring systems that accompany these, rather than to the actual effectiveness of their actions.He argues that those workers with a therapeutic task - whose work can only take place on the basis on establishing trusting relationships with clients - are undermined by systems of inspection that do not trust either the worker or the client. He highlights a trend which has lead to "a shift in emphasis from doing the right thing to doing things right (e.g. a shift from leadership to management and from effectiveness to efficiency". We give several examples in the podcast, both from the paper and from our consulting experience, to illustrate this argument.He asserts that we need to have apparently non-productive times - what Bion called reverie and which we call thinking space - in order to allow for the possibility of new thoughts and ideas to emerge rather than repeating one's actions according to existing routines.Related Links:Reference for the article discussed: Tim Dartington In Defence of Inefficiency Organisational & Social Dynamics 4(2) 298-310 (2004)It is possible to subscribe to the Organsiational & Social Dynamics Journal via the Karnac Books website: http://www.karnacbooks.com/JournalOPUS.aspLink to Tim Dartington's website: www.timdartington.comYou can subscribe to the Work And How to Survive It podcast via iTunes: http://bit.ly/jnoJSDWe’d like to hear your feedback about the show!
