. Guns and Butter Wednesday, 10 February 2010 [sebaygo1] "The New Junk Economics: From Democracy to Neoliberal Oligarchy" Another terrific show with financial economist and historian, Dr. Michael Hudson. We discuss the Federal Reserve; money as debt; Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's misconception of the causes of the great depression of the 1930's; classical political economy versus anti-classical, so-called "neoclassical", economics; the labor theory of value; the dollar carry trade; government deficit spending; Greece. http://www.michael-hudson.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hudson_(economist) Some great essays by Professor Hudson: http://www.counterpunch.org/hudson02012010.html "Obama's Junk Economics" http://www.counterpunch.org/hudson02022010.html "The Bernanke Disaster" http://www.counterpunch.org/hudson02172009.html "The Oligarch's Escape Plan" http://www.counterpunch.org/hudson03272009.html "How the Scam Works" ================================================ "Guns & Butter" investigates the relationships among capitalism, militarism and politics. Maintaining a radical perspective in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, "Guns & Butter: The Economics of Politics" reports on who wins and who loses when the economic resources of civil society are diverted toward global corporatization, war, and the furtherance of a national security state. ================================================ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ It is my opinion that in this time it is virtually essential to seek information from a variety of sources, to listen to a spectrum of voices in order to better understand the "big picture." A reliance solely upon mainstream corporate media for news and info is a prescription for ignorance. I try to share information that counters the monotone of mainstream corporate media.

To paraphrase the late William Cooper: Read everything, listen to everything, but believe nothing until you've researched it yourself. !! please try some of the other shows I upload too !! my torrents [since 26 Nov 2009]: http://thepiratebay.se/user/sebaygo1 my RSS feed: http://rss.thepiratebay.se/user/7621f7439b536868ef7a883e0b221961 _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ .
