Added 2022-08-01 20:06:35 +0000 UTCIt's the free one!
This week, we're talking the Metaverse, we're talking FB's valuation plummeting because iOS lets you improve your digital privacy by 1%, and we're talking the recent furore with drag queen story hours and how American fascists and British transphobes have been coalescing and continue to do so.
*AUSTRALIA ALERT* We are going to tour Australia in November, and there are tickets available for shows in Melbourne https://tccinc.sales.ticketsearch.com/sales/salesevent/75729 and Brisbane https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/trashfuture-live-in-brisbane-tickets-389786119777).

Anyone know where Riley got the stat for rent extraction as a proportion of GDP? Interested if there are comparisons for Ireland (an economy that is also highly financialised)

2022-08-03 19:39:23 +0000 UTCat the risk of repeating something that is a center tenet of the pod cast, people tend to forget that "capitalism" and "the economy" is just one out of several mechanisms of resource distribution, and it's very frustrating to see that on the one hand we've put all the resources into money sloshing flim flam and middleman service jobs, and on the other hand, we've put zero resources in the infrastructure of resource production and transportation, and that now it's starting to cause problem. And the reaction to it according to economic orthodoxy is, "we've put too many resources into just, stuff in general. we have to dispatch fewer resources across the board"
