Another great show, with more great book suggestions:
Understanding the Private–Public Divide: Markets, Governments, and Time Horizons by Avner Offer
Good War: Mobilising Canada for the Climate Emergency by Seth Klein
Thanks DT and everyone for a great chat!
What do you think Ty, DT says there’s no such thing as Growth? I’m going to have to recycle all my #ReGrowth merchandise that I got stored in my shed! What am I to do?!
Loving the Systems Dynamics Books. This is great stuff. Makes a lot of sense.
Yes, I really liked that it was a thermodynamic driven description. I have to say it was a great response to the the question.
I'm looking forward to the day when you send me your first system dynamics model. I often think about a George Box's quote “All models are wrong, some are useful.” Basically all my models have been wrong, but I have gained some insights about how certain systems work because of what I created, I would be interested in what you could produce, I have no doubts that some good insights could be gathered.
@Ty Keynes thanks! I’m cooking up some ideas. I’ll certainly pass them by you. The great thing about any science is to test our ideas, have them proven wrong, but learn something new in the process and come up with new ideas to test.
And I definitely know that Systems Dynamics is another piece to the puzzle for me, when I read in Sterman’s book Business Dynamics “Systems dynamics is fundamentally interdisciplinary”.
I’ve just always been drawn to fields of study that try to connect to other fields and to other levels of thinking.
On national service. For so many reasons national (or even state/local) service is a human and social good. For the years to come it becomes essential survival skills for people. We're going to need it.
To say the least my views on the topic have changed dramatically over decades, not least because the consequence of a volunteer military has depleted the number of representatives that understand the military, what war means and have benefited from the experience of being pushed into working with people from across the country. There is a very different sense in US culture for the generations that lived through the War & Great Depression, you see it in the the old movie trailers and even Twilight Zone. "Feral" humanity is far more self organizing. "Consumer" humanity has been made rudderless.
it is just so people dont get scared by MMT. "compulsory full employment" it more palatable for
moronsNormies than base "UBI for all" and more PT careers, & higher paying required jobs. _JC@JCResDocStudt94 l Verified l ᱬ l MMT has nothing to do with UBI or national service. It was a topic discussed during the live stream. So if your point was that it was integral ,that's off point.
Current domestic national service in 🇺🇸 pays ~ $9/hr before taxes. And it’s not a lot of survival skills. Unless you mean surviving the endless piles of paperwork.
I'm just sort of done with this whole thing. I think the basic premise of heterodox/mmt is sound, but so much on the periphery is problematic, in terms of the process of it. I should have just stuck with mathematics and engineering.
Nothing wrong with applying engineering and math to economics.
I'm somewhat undecided on national service or conscription, because I do not like authoritarian measures from the government, although sometimes it's necessary. For national service to work, it would have to apply universally to all citizens, say for one year when you turn 18, and would have to train young people in all sorts of useful skills they would not learn elsewhere, such as wilderness survival skills, how to fish, hunt trap and grow food, how to fix a car, how to repair clothing and boots, first aid, and so on.
All that in one year, shakes head.
I nominate Quinn Slobodian (Canadian) and Brent Cebul to discuss their books in future videos, thanx
FREE STUFF, NO TAX! ^_^/! jk. gr8 entry. but national service? the thing people will do in the MMT space to avoid a permanent UBI base & PT workforce. tho it does make everything more sellable to Norms/Conservatives. Libs…well, i guess we can say it makes them look "responsible."
but really it is just more bad policy to keep a "protestant work ethic." busy work. it will devolve immediately to busy work. with a class divide. _JC
In my experience, it is really hard to pull together a 🇺🇸 bachelor degree that prepares you for a New Economics.
I love this show. Always interesting!
Thanks for always watching my friend.
Why don't it be told the truth that if the corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes that then the population will have to be taxed harder to reduce inflation?
