  1. @remixtures This wealth gap was created due to #Reaganomics and #Thatcherism. It has been exacerbated by all presidents since then, #Democrats and #Republicans, alike. 40+ years of #neoliberal economic policy has resulted in a wealth transfer from the poor, middle class to the millionaires and billionaires. Where #Dow and #FTSE were the gods on whose altar wealth of middle class and affordability were slaughtered in hopes of #TrickleDownEconomics.

    The reckoning is over due.

  6. A few weeks back, I was in Malmö where I gave a talk on The Miners Strike of1984-85. I attempted to contextualise the year long dispute, how it came about and the social and political consequences in the aftermath, some of which are still being felt today.

    The good people at SIGNAL audio recorded my talk and huge thanks go to them for having me speak and the images shown below are theirs.

  10. ”Neoliberals were never opposed to the big state. What they opposed was the threat posed by the age of mass democracy to the sovereignty of markets and investors. They wanted to use state policy to reform human beings, wean them off their ill-founded belief in equality and their tribal notions of solidarity, and accustom them to the law of universal competition: ‘to change the soul’, as Margaret Thatcher put it.”

  15. 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.

  21. @petros @HardBeingGreen @feather1952
    Don’t you know? The lower down the economic scale one’s life is positionned, the less of those neoliberal crumbs one gets.

    Current economic climate, clothed in its neoliberal boudoir robes, comprises a set of sieves with the coarsest of them at the bottom. Little wonder two third of the world is underfed if not altogether starving to death. There has been urgent needs to purge Thacherism and Reaganism from our economic system since 2008 (in fact before that, but it wasn’t obvious enough to scare the oligarchy).

  22. The problem with #Thatcherism is that you eventually run out of public services to sell off. Asset stripping as a way of enriching your cronies only works for a while, until there are no more assets.

    Thatcherism. By that we mean Margaret Thatcher herself, born 100 years ago, and the evolution of the rather nebulous idea that bears her name. Is it a coherent ideology or the expression of a very unusual personality?

  29. @Geri Who knew that privatising basic, essential services like water, electricity, gas, rubbish collection, mail, defense research, airports, rail and healthcare would lead to shitty, expensive service at the same time as enriching the shareholders and executives? 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I'm sure I've missed some out.

    Literally every single one of these privatised (or nearly-privatised) services in UK is now a total crock of expensive shit.
