Thomas Paine and the Ironies of Social Democracy, Elizabeth Anderson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- Elizabeth Anderson, professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan, considers how Thomas Paine, one of the Founding Fathers of the U.S., grounded the justification of social insurance in a theory of private property rights. She explores the ironic inversion of social insurance from a bulwark of to a perceived assault on capitalism.
The first realistic proposal to abolish poverty by means of universal social insurance was Thomas Paine, who explicitly sought to defend private property against socialist revolutionaries. The first actual social insurance scheme, introduced by Otto von Bismarck, was opposed by the German Social Democratic Party. Now, however, critics of every social insurance proposal in the U.S., including recent health care reform, have called them socialist attacks on private property.

Social democracy is the best socioeconomic/sociopolitical system there is.
She's a great speaker.
Awesome ... brilliant woman!
My guard went up when I realized this is coming from U of Chicago
@Pinko Commie Rag Something something CHicago boys, something something Milton Friedman
Idealism and reality are 2 different things , idealism takes force to implement.

But it turned out that this guillotine was not for Pain(e).
No pun intended.
She sounds better here. I just watched her on Chris Hedges’ show On Contact and she seemed weird.
Nothing weird about her. She's a wonderfully articulate and brilliant woman. What's your problem?
Tim Janssen I don’t have a problem. Apparently you do if it’s not okay for people to have an opinion.
She’s a brilliant woman who looks like a freak in this interview

I enjoyed that interview
1:12:47 The claim that Norway has high levels of entrepreneurship is false. I've just lived there for 13 years trying to run start-up businesses. Nearly impossible. Everything fails due to high wage bills and taxes.
Do you have some relevant statistics and sources, or is this just your experience?
Social democracy is the best thing since sliced bread and butter.
It's a Soviet satellite state
@@NYGGJELEBEITE Are you kidding me? Have you seen the failure rate for small businesses? I just started a new venture over there, I forgot how bad it was... My partner is a first timer doing business in Norway, he can't believe it.
Some friends of mine invested 2 million in opening Lekk in Bergen last year - busy every night and lasted three months. Business as recognised in many other countries is nearly impossible in Norway.
It definitely used to be like that. I assume that she is just using old sources.
Needs lessons in public speaking. Revolutionary times commands great thinking and speech which she fails to convey. Tom Paine would not be inspired!
