"Le paradoxe est là, le mot travail s'applique simultanément à ceux pour lesquels il est épuisant, fastidieux, désagréable et à ceux qui y prennent manifestement plaisir et n'y voient aucune contrainte.
Travail désigne à la fois l'obligation imposée aux uns et la force de plaisir et de rémunération que désirent ardemment les autres et dont ils jouissent.
User du même mot pour les deux situations est déjà un signe évident d'escroquerie, mais ce n'est pas tout : les individus qui prennent le plus de plaisir à leur travail sont preque universellement les mieux payés."
(John Galbraith - in "Les mensonges de l'économie")

Why do we have so much #stuff but don't meet #needs ?
I really like this video - as an #EnglishLearner I like the clear language and style, and of course, good content!
#RichardJMurphy about "The Affluent Society" by John Kenneth #Galbraith . It's about why we are rich in stuff but poor in public infrastructure. It's interesting that an #economist wrote about this issue in the seventies!

3/ Now if you're asked "what does media produce" you might answer something like content or information or messages or entertainment.
This is understandable. This is what it looks like they do. You're forgiven if you thought that's how it worked
This is the trad, orthodox, "idealist" POV.
This is held by everyone from #Galbraith to #Marx to #veblen to #mcluhan
So there's a lot of press on this idea.
Smythe's argument is that it misses the point.

just finished @delong "Slouching". It's an interesting book and particularly illuminating on the Carter/Reagan era. The Carter teams elevation of Paul Volker without even an interview and certainly no idea of what they wanted is appalling. Their economic ineptitude is even more galling when one realizes that #Galbraith was still alive and well and they apparently never even spoke to him. Gailbraith's analysis of inflation is still pertinent and useful. #slouchingtowardutopia

CW: Long thread/15
In other words, the Venture Predator constructs a pile of shit so large and impressive that investors are convinced that there must be a pony under there somewhere.
There's another name for this kind of arrangement: a #Bezzle, which #Galbraith described as "the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it."
