    He's a good man. What bothers me is that we have brilliant minds like Michael Parenti, Michael Hudson, Bob Avakian, Richard Wolff, and on and on. But they are isolated from one another. And like in this interview, they might as well be speaking Martian as far as the average person is concerned. Change will not come as quickly this way as it would were these people to step out of their bubbles and seek to start something. Because once people know the truth, then they will know what life can be like, and will take on the task of changing the country, and even the world.

      Richard Wolff is very overrated. He is basically a neoliberal using Marxist rhetoric.

      The first time I heard of David Harvey, he gives excellent, non-biased insight into the recent footnote of American history. I'm not a Marxist either, but I listen to this guy more

    Those issues are addressed even less in rural areas.

    why aren't we comparing the use of capitalism within public sectors to for eg. other forms of democracies and study economic patterns, in which help in reform and fiscal policies not already tried? Places like America or Australian democracy and how they manage their economies might be able to use ideas already trial and used in places like Europe.

    Interesting - it is actually bad that Trump didn't listen to Harvey but did it his own stupid way.

    I think Harvey looks very tired here, maybe it's time for him to retire - he's done good work ...

    David Harvey is a wonderful scholar who has given much to expand and enrich human knowledge, but his predictions regarding the Trump administration have proved woefully wrong so far...

    Harvey makes Not a single empirical claim. His belief is Pure religion.

    • @dosomething3
      @dosomething3 7 років тому +2

      When you study economics, you are presented with a purely mathematical model of the economy. Simultaneously you' are also presented with econometrics empirical studies that confirm this purely mathematical model. Economics is therefore a perfect science. In complete opposition to the perfect science of economics, Professor Harvey does nothing but assert groundless claims. If professor Harvey wants to convince me of anything, he needs to either present a mathematical model that explains his theory or at least present empirical evidence to support his theory.

      Assaf Wodeslavsky "perfect science of economics" - now there's a joke! You and +IneptMedia would get along great. Also, as you say; "no sources = empty words."
      A good quote for you to think about which I already doubt you will:
      "The ‘free-market’ theory provides a pseudo-scientific justification for the greed and poverty endemic to the system, and the main beneficiaries are the global mega-corporations of neoliberal capitalism"
