Conversations with Great Minds - David Korten, The Great Turning

Conversations with Great Minds - David Korten, The Great Turning. P 2

http://ThomHartmann.com/

For tonight's Conversations with Great Minds - Thom Hartmann is joined by David Korten. David is an economist, author, and former Professor of the Harvard Business School. His political activism has made him a prominent critic of corporate globalization. His 2006 book "The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community" argues that the development of empires about 5,000 years ago initiated unequal distribution of power and social benefits to a small portion of the population.

Glenn Greenwald On “America’s Lawless Elite”

From Watergate to Gitmo to Occupy, we’ll hear from Salon’s Glenn Greenwald on what he calls the rise of an American “lawless elite.” 

Glenn Greenwald studied law and spent ten years as a litigator in federal and state courts across the country. Now he’s a big two-fisted progressive blogger and columnist for Salon.com. And he’s out with a blistering critique of what has happened to American law. We’ve stopped applying it to everyone, says Greenwald.

We’ve carved out an exemption for Americans in the halls of power. We’ve created what Greenwald calls a “lawless elite” that is running roughshod over our economy and national policy. Over American law.

This hour On Point: Glenn Greenwald, and liberty and justice for some.

El gobierno de las palabras - Juan Carlos Monedero

"Necesitamos pueblos más quijotescos y menos hamletianos, pueblos que dialoguen, no que monologuen".
El capitalismo pelea recurrentemente sus crisis, al tiempo que muestra un abanico de respuestas cada vez más limitado. El Estado moderno intenta resistir los embates de soluciones más exitosas que lo desbordan territorialmente por arriba y por abajo. El pensamiento moderno, agotado en el esfuerzo de cabalgar sobre la idea de progreso, renuncia al combate y cede las soluciones racionales a supercherías, sectarismos religiosos, remedos de espiritualismo de consumo rápido y libros de autoayuda. Época de transición y confusión. ¿Puede brindar ayuda la reinvención de la política? El lenguaje es una herencia poderosa que nos habla. Biendecir es dialogar; maldecir, monologar.
Recuperar la política es desterrar los monólogos y regresar a diálogos que den sentido a la vida. Despensar los nombres de la política --democracia y gobernabilidad, desarrollo y modernización, consenso y gobernanza- para luego repensarlos al servicio de un nuevo sentido común a la búsqueda de soluciones atrevidamente humanas. Frente al auge de libros que invitan a soluciones individuales, estamos ante un libro de "autoayuda colectiva" que quiere devolver a lo político la dignidad extraviada.

Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies

We feel instinctively that societies with huge income gaps are somehow going wrong. Richard Wilkinson charts the hard data on economic inequality, and shows what gets worse when rich and poor are too far apart: real effects on health, lifespan, even such basic values as trust.

Managing Without Growth with Dr. Peter Victor

http://www.cficanada.ca

Economic growth is the over-arching policy objective of governments worldwide. Yet its long-term viability is increasingly questioned because of environmental impacts and impending and actual shortages of energy and material resources. Furthermore, rising incomes in rich countries bear little relation to gains in happiness and well-being . Growth has not eliminated poverty, brought full employment or protected the environment. Results from a simulation model of the Canadian economy suggest that it is possible to have full employment, eradicate poverty, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and maintain fiscal balance without economic growth. It's time to turn our attention away from pursuing growth and towards specific objectives more directly relating to our well-being and that of the planet.

Dr. Peter Victor , author of Managing without Growth. Slower by Design, not Disaster, is a professor in environmental studies at York University. He has worked for nearly 40 years in Canada and abroad on economy and environment as an academic, consultant and public servant. Dr. Victor was the founding president of the Canadian Society of Ecological Economics and a past-president of the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science. Currently he is a member of the Board of the David Suzuki Foundation and several advisory boards in the public and private sectors. See http://www.pvictor.com .

The Great American Bank Robbery, Hammer Museum

William K. Black, the former litigation director of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board who investigated the Savings and Loan disaster of the 1980s, discusses the latest scandal in which a single bank, IndyMac, lost more money than was lost during the entire Savings and Loan crisis. He will examine the political failure behind this economic disaster, in which not only massive fraud has taken place, but a vast transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class continues as the federal government bails out the seemingly reckless, if not the criminal. Black teaches economics and law at the University of Missouri, Kansas City and is the author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One.

A Simple Solution to the Debt Crisis - Positive Money

http://www.positivemoney.org.uk

Have you ever wondered why there's so much debt? Or why the experts and authorities seem completely unable to solve the current debt crisis?

Well the reason they can't solve it is because they're trying to fix and repair the existing banking system. But the existing banking system is completely flawed. It's the existing system that has buried all of us under a massive mountain of debt.

In the next 3 minutes I'll show you how the design of the banking system guarantees that the vast majority of people will end up in debt, and why allowing the banks to go back to business as usual would be the worst thing for the economy and for society as a whole.

Peter Bane - How I'm Preparing for the Local Future: Permaculture

http://sustainabilityconference.org

Permaculture - (n) agricultural system or method that seeks to integrate human activity with natural surroundings so as to create highly efficient self-sustaining ecosystems

Educator Peter Bane is preparing for the local future, beyond the global economy and after peak oil. Bane's talk is the story of the history of permaculture, and how he has used permaculture methods to move towards a self-sustaining homestead using free or low-cost techniques.

Peter Bane is the publisher of Permaculture Activist Magazine for 20 years. He is a garden farmer in Bloomington, Indiana. He teaches permaculture design for Indiana University. He has a bachelors from University in Illinois in political design. Bane has a diplomna in permaculture design from the British Academy of Permculture design.

La Era de la Adaptacion

Documental corto producido según la filosofía de "código abierto", es decir, de libre distribución. Examina la íntima relación entre tres factores convergentes que resultan claves para comprender la situación actual: El cambio climático, la desigualdad social y la inestabilidad económica, tanto a nivel local como global. Intenta plantear un mensaje urgente que pueda alejarnos a tiempo de nuestro actual modelo de desarrollo, el cual está basado en la ilusión del crecimiento infinito a toda costa, y cuestiona frontalmente al paradigma sagrado del Producto Bruto Interno, esa especie de mantra que recitan todos los políticos y economistas, con preguntas profundas tales como: ¿más crecimiento de qué, y para qué? Asimismo pone de manifiesto las nuevas retóricas que han surgido para convertir el drama planetario del cambio climático en un negocio, a partir de nuevas tecnologías "verdes" y supuestamente ecológicas, tales como el "carbón limpio" y los sistemas de compensaciones de carbono, cuyas pretensiones son resolver el desequilibrio climático a través de los mismos mecanismos de mercado conocidos, pero sin modificar en nada nuestros hábitos de consumo.

Sobredosis - La Próxima Crisis Financiera

El mapa de la gran crisis sistémica que enfrentamos está compuesto por cuatro elementos principales, altamente interrelacionados entre sí: Economía, Energía, Presión Demográfica y Medio Ambiente.

En tiempos de crisis las sociedades buscan líderes fuertes y soluciones simples. Pero... ¿Qué pasaría si las soluciones económicas que se están planteando constituyen los mismos errores que provocaron el desastre?
Este documental describe y analiza la historia de la mayor crisis económica de nuestra época: la que aún está por venir.

Cuando estalló la burbuja financiera global, la solución fue bajar las tasas de interés e inyectar miles de millones de dólares sin respaldo a un sistema bancario enfermo. Justamente esa solución generó un problema mayor, y por eso la próxima crisis será peor aún. Los gobiernos ya se están quedando sin combustible para alimentar la economía. Puede ser que todavía estén en condiciones de salvar a los bancos, pero de ahora en adelante la pregunta más inquietante es quién salvará a los gobiernos...

Hartmann: Occupy Wall Street & The Real Boston Tea Party

TheBigPictureRT

There's pressure mounting on the young people in Manhattan - many of whom refer to themselves as "the other 99 percent of us" or the "99ers" - to lay out some clear reasons as to why they are occupying Wall Street In fact - the mainstream media has turned to ridiculing the movement - because there isn't a set agenda or clearly defined goal. Even though the real reason why the mainstream media is ridiculing the movement is because it doesn't fit within their corporate-friendly narrative. But first - in case there were still doubts as to why the 99% of us should be upset with how the top 1% have hijacked our economy - and why people are now taking to the streets to do something about - consider some history & facts. Then Lee Fang w/ Think Progress joins Thom Hartmann to talk about how the growing protests against transnational corporations' love affair with greed resembles another historic protest...the Boston Tea Party?

Exponential Growth - Arithmetic, Population and Energy (Full - Updated)

Dr. Albert Bartlett discusses the implications of unending growth on economies, population, and resources. Presented at UBC on 5/19/2011.

This compelling lecture is easy to pay attention to and gives a basic introduction to the arithmetic of steady growth, including an explanation of the concept of doubling time. He explains the impact of unending steady growth on population. He then examines the consequences steady growth in a finite environment and observes this growth as applied to fossil fuel consumption, the lifetimes of which are much shorter than the optimistic figures most often quoted.

He proceeds to examine oddly reassuring statements from "experts", the media and political leaders - statements that are dramatically inconsistent with the facts. He discusses the widespread worship of economic growth and population growth in western society. Professor Bartlett explains "sustainability" in the context of the First Law of Sustainability:

"You cannot sustain population growth and / or growth in the rates of consumption of resources.

This 1708th presentation of this matierial by Dr. Bartlett brings the listener to understand and appreciate the implications of unending growth on a finite planet, and closes noting the crucial need for education on this topic.

Professor Bartlett has given this celebrated one-hour lecture beginning in September, 1969, to audiences with an average attendance of 80 in the United States and world-wide. His audiences have ranged from junior high school and college students to corporate executives and scientists, and to congressional staffs. 

Joseph Tainter Interview with Jim Puplava

Political disintegration is a persistent feature of world history. The Collapse of Complex Societies, though written by an archaeologist, will therefore strike a chord throughout the social sciences. Any explanation of societal collapse carries lessons not just for the study of ancient societies, but for the members of all such societies in both the present and future. Dr. Tainter describes nearly two dozen cases of collapse and reviews more than 2000 years of explanations. He then develops a new and far-reaching theory that accounts for collapse among diverse kinds of societies, evaluating his model and clarifying the processes of disintegration by detailed studies of the Roman, Mayan and Chacoan collapses.
