- A dive into the worryingly expanding precariat class, implications of this development, how we can revive the concept of the commons in a capitalist system as well as the argument for a universal basic income.
A great presentation from Guy Standing, with many thanks from the Work, Economy and Social Policy Club.

Wow. Wide ground covered and comprehensible to non-economists and very structured too.
12.55 black rock can splash more cash annually than the government budget of a 2-3 EU countries I heard in a DW documentary (about some "self made" very arrogant property developer, very unaware of how; despite trying to highlight his philanthropic "efforts", extremely self content/ego he was). It was about how local councils basically have to "give in" to extra luxury units/less social or affordable housing and approve his planning application hoping for scraps...mind numbing. If you want to see a true horror film, look it up.
The biggest problem is that the wrong people are in power.
The ninth giant is the corps of Billionaires who are enforcing their oversize "rights" on the precariate. Money is spent by these assholes to silence or murder people who threaten to limit their power.
the biggest problem is the power itself. Governments need to fuck off
If we exterminate all the poor then everybody will be rich, but wouldn't that create inflation?
Are there any bills in US Congress to institute UBI?
Nope
Was going to say...don't think so
YANIS ROCKS!!
16.19 back in the 70-80 ies you didn't have to have 2 or more jobs, it wasn't impossible to get permanent work etc. I feel for youth now...a permanent contract 😮 what holidays and sick pay 😮 a decent salary 😮😮😮 This will explode. Together with increasing conflict as well as the total neglect of all our resource boundaries (incl corruption, sucking out "developing" countries pretending to help them, while keeping a new colonial rule alive), exploiting the last living virgin forest exuding water/bringing rain to the Amazon or killing every last habitat in our ocean, depleting groundwater, soils...it's like a "perfect" storm😱.
❤❤❤
He seemed to be sitting down the whole time though
🤣
Techno-Feudalism??
American History 🇺🇸 can be summed up as ‘Get rich beyond your wildest dreams.’
Go to Hell.
American Delusion, you mean
This has not aged well. IT's impossible to find people who can be trusted to redistribute the wealth in a fair way. Besides every time wealth redistribution happens the people who are earning the most wealth leave.
Go to Hell.
The only "fair" way of redistribution of wealth is a major war in every century. It resets and refreshes the capitalism every time.
I love the liberal types. They can explain there is a problem. But then they devolve not the usual failed current left of center liberal idealism.
this is fantastic
Great true story,book title-"Cowboy Mafia "-
AN INTELLIGIBLE ECONOMIST !!! 🌈🦉
Still impotent against the institutionalised corruption, however... 🏴☠😎
Go to Hell.
Print more money just like they do for the war machine!
Go to Hell.
If we exterminate all the poor then everybody will be rich, but wouldn't that create inflation?
