Podcast appearances and mentions of thomas picketty

In this virtual symposium led by Dr. Johnna Montgomerie, Professor of International Political Economy, at Kings College London, we've called on experts from the politics of inequality working group at King's College, London, and sought out our colleagues at other universities to share their ideas, research, and proposals to help explain what it means to call inequality issue of our time. We wanted to examine who was unequal, what causes inequality and why it's an urgent area of study.This episode introduces a virtual symposium of academics, students and practitioners who believe inequality is the issue of our time.  We draw expert opinions of those from King's College London, the London School of Economics and the University of Sydney.  Inequality is a compelling problem that shows us the urgent need to find a solution through these dialogues. This episode looks at the importance of contextualizing inequality. And we do this through discussion of Thomas Picketty's book “Capital in the 21st Century,” and Mike Savage's cutting-edge book, “The Return of Inequality.”  Inequality takes many forms.  We combine understandings of the weight of history with the economic frames of income and wealth inequality and do this to recognize the conditions that create and reproduce inequality between groups in society.

A Patron of Economic Update asks: "Do you think that it might be worthwhile disambiguating the differences (and general confusion) among assets, capital, and capitalism as defined by Thomas Picketty in ‘Capitalism in the 21st Century' vs Marx?"

In this episode, Martin and Jahed talk with Dr. Hamid Rashid, a former director-general for multilateral economic affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangladesh, is Chief of Global Economic Monitoring at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs. We take a bit of a detour from web3 and blockchain to discuss macroeconomics with Dr. Rashid. We dive into the functioning of the fed in the US, and how its policies impact economic opportunity and inequality in the US and abroad. We then use this framework to discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of the fed introducing a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Ricky Zalez Ghön, nuestro facilitador y experto en business, nos contó que está muy angustiado por el conflicto entre Matías Morla y Claudia Villafañe, dos de sus entrañables amigos. Además, le propuso a Gustavo Sánchez Romero repotenciar la mañana central de REC, bajo su conducción y le ofreció conseguirle entrevistas con Joseph Stiglitz y Thomas Picketty. Para cerrar, nos dejó sus imprescindibles reflexiones

When economist Thomas Picketty released his book ‘Capital in the 21Century' people clambered to get a copy. The filmmaker Justin Pemberton has since made the film – in it he points hard to how rentier capitalism has disenfranchised the west. Host Ross Ashcroft caught up with Kiwi director Justin Pemberton to understand what needs to change if we want 21st Century capital to serve, not enslave us.

The virus is being used to shutdown the world economy for the climate change group. They’re cooperating with socialists as well. They’ve all gotten together to change the world economy. When it’s done the socialists will turn against the billionaires, Gates, Soros, Steyer, etc. Europe is done and falling apart. The two proposals will be eliminating all paper money, they’ll be forced to spend it and bring it back to the banks. Bond markets in Japan and Europe have been destroyed. They do invountary conversions of perpetual bonds, you’ll get an interest payment but you’ll never be able to redeem. Never get involved with government paper. They set the rules and there’s no way to fight it.  The Socialists are being led by Thomas Picketty in France. A convergence of climate change people and socialists who are deliberately destroying the global economy. The end of western civilization. The financial world capital will move from the US to China. There’s no reversing the trend. That’s why they’re so intent on getting rid of Trump.  The Dems are trying to convert to a fully digital dollar to force everyone into depositing all funds into banks.  By all accounts they’re trying to stifle gold and silver and cryptos. Metals won’t be usable. Equities could be the safest place to put funds. Real estate might pick up after. Socialism is collapsing.  A paradigm shift towards the stock market is occurring. Have to look at the indexes differently. Nasdaq is becoming the blue chips. Old brick and mortar are failing so the Dow is on the downside. That’s why the Nasdaq is leading. We’re moving away from the old world order. Last Christmas online sales beat mall sales.  This is not a racial issue and it’s not a new issue. Police immunity is wrong. 40 million people are unemployed and are losing it. It’s called a race riot but it’s really a rebellion against the shutdown. Everytime you have an economic decline and unemployment rises, you’ll always get civil unrest.  Over 300 million people have lost their jobs around the world. Statue removal is about anger towards the decline. They’re going to try for another lockdown to influence the election. Martin believes they’re seriously underestimating the American people. They better not try this again! Dow could still make a new low after a retest. Then we’ll see a slingshot higher in 2022. We’re seeing charts never seen before. We saw the Dow take out the 2019 high and 2019 low this year. A collapse in confidence in the government. Smart money is going to equities to be liquid and movable. Gold will be for individuals. Europe may confiscate gold this time around. We’re going to see stock markets go higher and higher in the decades ahead.  Mass exodus out of cities is happening now. So many people are moving out of draconian Blue States. New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., are all dying. Tax burdens are going up and this will feed the outflow. New York City will be the new Rome. RV sales are way up for this reason. The urban cycle has peaked and declined.  Inflation shouldn’t be upsurging soon. The world is having a major dollar shortage, over 100 countries have applied for relief from the IMF. The Fed can’t hold up the entire world. The demand is so great for dollars that we’re not seeing inflation here.  To Gen Z, look toward tech. They’re not going to have the freedoms that we’ve come to take for granted. Look how easily it happened with the lockdown. And they’re just getting started.

Fyrsta sólóplata tónlistarkonunnar Sunna Margrétar, sem áður söng með hljómsveitinni Bloodgroup, kom út á dögunum. Stuttskífan Art of History inniheldur tilraunakennt rafpopp sem hefur strax vakið nokkra athygli, hlaut meðal annars Kraumsverðlaunin í desember áður en hún var komin út opinberlega. Auðmagn og hugmyndafræði, Capital et idéologie, nefnist ný bók franska hagfræðingsins Thomas Picketty, en hann varð alþjóðlega stjarna í heimi fræðanna árið 2013 eftir að hann gaf út stórvirkið Auðmagnið á 21. öldinni. Við heyrum um nýjstu bók Picketty í Lestinni í dag. Áður en árið var úti bárust mikilvægar fréttir úr heimi fræga fólksins: Brad Pitt og Jennifer Aniston elska hvort annað aftur. Hvað það þýðir nákvæmlega skiptir kannski ekki öllu máli. Aðdáendur þeirra grafa gömlu Brennifer bolina upp úr skápum og skúffum á meðan stuðningsmenn Brangelinu gráta söltum tárum. Í dag ferðast Lestin aftur í tímann, rifjar upp skilnaðinn sem skók Hollywood og skoðar ást okkar á frægum pörum.

Halldór Armand Ásgeirsson flytur að venju pistil í Lestinni á þriðjudegi og fjallar í dag um niðurskurð og hagræðingu. Meðal þess sem hann snertir á pistlinum er Jókerinn, Thomas Picketty og niðurskurður á stafrófinu. „Kvikmyndahús eru orðin að skemmtigörðum,“ sagði hinn virti bandaríski kvikmyndaleikstjóri Martin Scorcese á dögunum og gagnrýndi bíómyndir Marvel-myndasögurisans harkalega. Orð leikstjórans hafa kveikt heitar umræður á netinu um gildi og gæði ofurhetjukvikmynda sem hafa verið áberandi í kvikmyndahúsum undanfarinn áratug. Í Lestinni í dag verður spurt hvort Scorcese hafi eitthvað til síns máls, eða hvort þetta sé bara nöldur í gömlum karli? Ásgrímur Sverrisson og Gísli Einarsson takast á um gildi og gæði Marvel-kvikmyndanna - og þeim er heitt í hamsi. Og við höldum á söguslóðir. Hressingarskálinn við Austurstræti var reistur árið 1805 og var þá kallað „svenska húsið.“ Síðan þá hefur ýmisstarfssemi verið rekin í húsinu - það hefur verið embættisbústaður, kaffihús og McDonalds - en nú vonast nýjir eigendur til að það muni glæða íslenska tónleikamenningu lífi.

A protest movement in France known as the Gilets Jaunes, or Yellow Vests, has become a political crisis for French President Emmanuel Macron. The protest movement began over a hike in a fuel tax, but has grown into something much more and is now threatening to further weaken Macron, who was already deeply unpopular in France. On the line with me to discuss the origins of this movement and its political significance both in France and throughout Europe is Arthur Goldhammer, a senior affiliate with the Center for European Studies at Harvard University. He is also a translator of French works into english. If you are one of the many people who read Thomas Picketty's book Capitalism in the 20th Century, you read Art Goldhammer's translation.   We kick off discussing the origins of this protest movement, then have a wider discussion about the roots of Macron's unpopularity in France and the implications of his unpopularity for Europe, the European Project and liberal democracy more broadly.    Become a premium subscriber! 

Amanda asks Lars to explain the idea brought forth by Thomas Picketty…are the wealthiest just circulating wealth amongst themselves?

Victor Loupan, journaliste  

In today’s episode, we review Thomas Picketty's best selling book, Capitalism In the 21st Century, which explains the impact of the economic wealth cap in the US and other parts of the world. We'll provide our take on where Picketty correct in his analysis, and what he leaves out or is incorrect about.  Whether or not you have read the book, you'll gain insight from our review.    

Larry Ludwig from Investor Junkie is occupying MMS this week in order to give us his thoughts on the income inequality debate generated by this summer’s blockbuster bestseller: Thomas Picketty’s Capital In the Twenty-First Century.  Any time that a book as long as the Bible that is written by a French economist ends up on coffee tables around the world – you know something interesting has happened.  For those of you having flashbacks to boring English classes, have no fear – this isn’t a book club – we chat about what you can do claim your spot in a shrinking middle class no matter what the 1% is doing. https://moneymastermindshow.com/episode8-is-wealth-inequality-systemic-in-our-world/ Some important questions discussed in this episode: Is income inequality even a problem?  Hasn’t it been around forever? What has taxation looked like in the past?  It can’t have changed that much right? How does corporate taxation and recent “corporations as people” chatter factor into this whole income inequality debate? What do the infamous 1% do to make all their money? (*Hint: They aren’t just working more overtime.) What steps can you take regardless of what the 1% are doing?
