GREAT PEOPLE ON MASTODON
DON'T ANSWER ON MASTODON !#RichardMurphy /
@RichardJMurphyIT'S A SHAME BECAUSE 2-WAY WORK IS NEEDED *WITH THE PEOPLE*...
EVERYTHING IS TOO 1-WAY TODAY.
( I GOT A REPLY VIA OTHER WAYS ) BUT HE EVENTUALLY AGREED TO ADD THAT HE DOESN'T ANSWER AT ALL ON MASTODON.
FAIR ENOUGH BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO CHANGE THINGS ( THE PEOPLE ! )

"Above all, it means recognising that #poverty is a political choice. Scotland shows that different outcomes are possible. Until the UK chooses differently, poverty will remain not just widespread, but deeper, more persistent and more destructive with each passing year. We need a politics of care. Right now we have a poverty of care."

#RichardMurphy is beginning to see the light in respect to #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome:
“What impressed me most about this conversation was the pragmatism underlying their radical proposals. They test policies for feasibility, affordability, and popularity. They recognise that introducing UBI in stages makes it familiar and non-threatening. They're willing to work with any party that takes up these ideas.”

A week or so ago I was inspired to write a comment on a blog-post by #RichardMurphy. It is rare for me to be able to write so much in a relatively (for me) short period of time. I have reproduced my comment with a brief introductory explanation of #neoliberalism - the #EconomicSystem that Reform, Tories, Blue Labour and FibDems all support to the detriment of ordinary Brits. The Greens appear to be looking for an alternative #EconomicModel.

"A nation doesn't have to balance its books. In fact, you can almost say with certainty that the worst thing a nation can do is balance its books, because there wouldn't be enough money to go around, and that's pretty serious."

“A government serious about #inflation, #inequality, and #stability would tax the wealthy because doing so works economically, socially, and fiscally.” #RichardMurphy

Besteht die Rolle des "Marktes" tatsächlich darin, **Mangel** zu erzeugen, um für einige den **Profit zu steigern?**

If you’re an MMT‘er, this is one podcast you do not want to miss. I for one am looking forward to the next one.
If you are a neoclassical or neoliberal economist then watching this pod cast is likely to screw with your brain, so be warned even though I huighly recommend you watch it.

Our economic systems are built on false assumptions and we need to change that because there are better ways to greater social good.

"The fact is economics should serve #society and not the other way round.
#People and not #markets should come first.
Fairness, #sustainability and #democracy are the things that we should be prioritizing and we should be describing these as #economic #goals too and the consequences are very different economic model." -

Why #Crypto Might Be a Big Mistake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zpijANwCIQ
Crypto is not money. It’s not secure. It’s not stable. It’s just speculation wrapped in dogma — and a huge risk to society.

#RichardMurphy looks ahead to attempt to divine what might happen if Trump causes the #USDollar to fail. It is currently, and has been since taking over from #PoundSterling around the time of WWII, the de facto #ReserveCurrency of the World.
There is a video and a full transcript.
Link to author’s blog.

The last thing the UK must do is sign a trade deal with Trump.
You don't get into bed with fascists -
Isn’t it rational to be anxious in a world that’s failing us all?

CW: good piece by Richard Murphy on UK covid denial
"If you listened to the news & our politicians you would think that the word Covid had been banned from use.
"... if Wes Streeting was as serious about healthcare as he claims, he would be talking about this & be demanding that there be data collected on it.
"... if the government as a whole is serious about productivity it should be taking this seriously."

Caroline Lucas is standing down as an MP in the next election. I agree with Richard Murphy, she has been a force for good in the sewer that is Tory dominated British politics.

CW: British politics
Richard Murphy's prediction is that the Tories deliberately wreck the economy in an attempt to make the next government's task as difficult as possible.
Paradoxically, deliberately wrecking the economy will, surely, make the Tory losses greater and mean that more Tory MPs lose their seats.
I am not sure.

Richard Murphy "Has the government exacerbated the migrant crisis for its own political gain?"
Richard's conclusion is that is has.
The Tories are utterly despicable.
