1:31This is Jim Sawyer for Capitalism in Crisis.org Fraud always involves deception. With increasing frequency, we are beset by fraud-laced schemes. Remember the Wells-Fargo banking scandal in which two million fake customer accounts were created? Here’s an even more jaw-dropping example of pseudo-capitalism, from Germany. A man bombed a soccer team’s bus, allegedly, but first, he rigged the market.... Audio and narration produced by Jim Sawyer. Audio editing by Quincy L. Lewis (Flipside-Ink Publishing)…

5:18Communism has evolved. Remember the old Soviet system? It crashed in 1991. In place of markets, Soviets used quotas, fashioned by committees. Never mind what citizens actually wanted—or needed—stuff was chosen for them by bureaucrats, instead. Of course, when the price system is undermined, disastrous consequences may follow. For the Soviet system, economic and political ...…

6:29The perspective of this podcast series is this. The way in which the economy behaves—changes. However, the way ideologues think it ought to behave, stagnates and ossifies. Consequently, doctrinal tweaks are necessary, occasionally, to realign dysfunctional thinking with the way in which the world actually works. Unbridled doctrinaire thinking on the ideological right, especially, has […]…
