The « show » is about (the assault on)social ties… . And ALL the people who have come will be kept away from the discussion… ???
(For real ???!!!)
After viewing the first 6 minutes (and a bit more)... of the « show (?) », one question- among many (really many !) others, stands out from the crowd : « They're not going to include the audience in the discussion » ?

That, would be an act of resistance and protest as well.

29.08.2025 06:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Beg ur pardon plz. Is the Nation-Stae/Empire in or out of your focus ?
Would u consider d following ?
Ch8 of d book below starts like this :
« ONE MIGHT WELL ASK: If our political and legal ideas really
are founded on the logic of slavery,
then how did we ever abolish it? ».
Would u agree to debate (gently) about that plz?
To begin , would u read Ch4 of the book below on ur left plz?
After, regarding debt as a means of enslavement, perhaps the book below on ur right? Ch6 only?
WHY ? Why do the « remittances play a big role in Pacific economies » ? Min09:40s to 10:00 .
May I suggest a book for a trip back in time. The English Financial Revolution.
Carl Wennerlind : « Casualties of Credit » ?
Negatively(a bit), cuz u ignore(or seem to) the subprime crisis. Ann Pettifor, Steve Keen, Michaël Hudson… .
« Instead, public finance is seen as being dependent on the ‘wealth-creating’ private sector, leading to a fundamental misunderstanding of how states are funded ». p.12.
It IS also exceptional(!) that a journalist(chic as well AND open-minded !) accepts to tag along a critical interpretation !
19.08.2025 19:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Your speech was sparkling, chic, passionate, critical… .
I am truly amazed.
Positively and a bit negatively.
Positively because, again, you are a passionate scholar aiming for a critical interpretation.
That’s rare.
Right. Queen Elizabeth also had no idea why the subprime crisis happened. So she asked. To the top economists from the London school of economics. They too had no idea... .

The story IS fascinating indeed.
However from my point of view, there’s more to it because of : « (...)Dorji-Wangchuck asked Todd to help Bhutan raise a $10m loan from the World Bank ».
Why ???
Well noted. Thanks.
15.08.2025 19:59 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My bad. Sorry. Let's try with Carl Wennerlind:"Casualties of Credit -The English Financial revolution". Plz stop reading Dr
GRAEBER,for the time being.
It's about the "background" as an illusion/utopia.
You, going to buy a book(?) AND d very same thing, but this time in a Jumanji-like world... .

14.08.2025 20:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0If so, why not? Being able to open debates -and not closing them, should be the norm.

14.08.2025 19:28 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0If I may also. There is an ongoing "reparations movement". Not only about Haiti. Rather slavery, I'd say. From my perspective,it's about MONEY. But..., what is MONEY? WHERE does it come from? Ch6 of the book, you are reading... .
14.08.2025 18:41 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0So u always think of social relations in a vertical way? Not horizontal? You do know that societies WITHOUT State exist. Do u?
14.08.2025 17:36 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0I am working on that. But isn't revolution about imagining new ways of social interactions? In a community. Where one voice is equal to another? Have u heard of Pierre Clastres?
14.08.2025 17:33 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0There's a u2be video about that. Graeber+Wengrow. Kondriak(?), I think. Could u give it a try?
14.08.2025 17:19 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The (Nation-)State(/Empire). How do you look at this institution? It is Power. Something violently coercive(and utopian). Oppressive. So, d 1st move of "former" slaves is to reinstitute THIS institution? That's what u call a "revolution"???
14.08.2025 17:06 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Well, 1st of all, thanks. Extremely rare nowadays to find a scholar who acts like one.
14.08.2025 16:41 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Beg ur pardon. May I suggest another perspective? Ch4 of the book below on ur left? AND, Ch8 of the book below on ur right, starts like this :

Please look closelly. With a critical eye, if possible, this time. Maybe(!) there's more to it... .
And regarding your hope. Well, what is money? Where does it come from?
