Noam chomsky on india and consumerism - the new world order part 14 (1998)

November 30, 1998 www.amazon.com Watch the full lecture: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com The economic liberalisation in India refers to ongoing reforms in India that started in 1991. After Independence in 1947, India adhered to socialist policies. In the 1980s, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi initiated some reforms. In 1991, after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had bailed out the bankrupt state, the government of PV Narasimha Rao and his finance minister Manmohan Singh started breakthrough reforms. The new policies included opening for international trade and investment, deregulation, initiation of privatization, tax reforms, and inflation-controlling measures. The overall direction of liberalisation has since remained the same, irrespective of the ruling party, although no party has yet tried to take on powerful lobbies such as the trade unions and farmers, or contentious issues such as reforming labor laws and reducing agricultural subsidies. As of 2009, about 300 million people — equivalent to the entire population of the United States — have escaped extreme poverty. The fruits of liberalisation reached their peak in 2007, with India recording its highest GDP growth rate of 9%. With this, India became the second fastest growing major economy in the world, next only to China. An Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report states that the average growth rate 7.5% will double the average income in a decade, and more reforms would speed up the pace ...

Beyond consumerism: how should free market economies plan for the future? | 12.04.11

How do we weigh the needs of future generations against our own? Has consumerism undermined self-control and the ability to defer gratification? Should we be saving more? And how do we measure the value of things that matter to us -- but aren't captured by GDP? Join us for a discussion between two leading economists who have thought deeply about the future of the free market economies. Diane Coyle OBE is Managing Director of Enlightenment Economics which works with strategy departments to address the large-scale, long-term issues facing businesses, governments and individuals. She is also an author, and her latest book, The Economics of Enough asks how the financial growth we need today can be acquired without sacrificing a decent future for our children, our societies, and our planet. Professor Avner Offer MA, Dphil, FBA is an Economic historian who currently holds the Chichele Professorship in Economic history at the University of Oxford. His book The Challenge of Affluence argued that well-being lagged behind affluence in Britain and America. As times have changed Offer recognises that the situation has too, and has done further work on how to approach potential future shocks such as climate change.

A cautionary tale of crony consumer capitalism for china and america's last free market

Welcome to today's Capital Account. More than 25 billion applications have been downloaded from Apple's store, according to the company. Likewise, according to Apple, it's app "economy" has created two-hundred and ten thousand jobs. Now, there isn't a lot of bureaucratic red tape standing in the way of someone creating a new application. Is this an example of the kind of entrepreneurship and innovation that is possible with capitalism, which we see in what could be argued is America's last free market -- the internet? We will ask our guest, Benjamin Barber, Author of the popular book "Consumed," all about it. Meanwhile, as we stay on the topic of consumption and economic growth, China has lowered its growth target for GDP from 8 percent to 7.5 percent. China's premier said in a speech that the nation needs to shift to a more sustainable economic model -- cutting its reliance on exports and capital spending in favor of increased consumption. But what makes a sustainable economy really? Is the answer for China to emulate the United States, or to follow a new path free of consumerism to possible a new "producerism" based economy? Again, we will pose this question to Benjamin Barber who is also a distinguished senior fellow at Demos, and talks often about these issues. We will also take a look back at the history of consumerism, where it came from, and whether it is fair to see it and capitalism in the same light. Is capitalism the problem, or is the problem really propaganda ... Category: News & Politics Length: 00:21:04.500 Tags: .

The impossible hamster

What the impossible hamster has to teach us about economic growth. A new animation from nef (the new economics foundation), scripted by Andrew Simms, numbers crunched by Viki Johnson and pictures realised by Leo Murray. www.neweconomics.org www.onehundredmonths.org www.wakeupfreakout.org www.impossiblehamster.org We wanted to confront people with the meaning and logical conclusion of the promise of endless economic growth. We used a hamster to illustrate what would happen if there were no limits to growth because they double in size each week before reaching maturity at around 6 weeks. But if a hamster grew at the same rate until its first birthday, wed be looking at a nine billion tonne hamster, which ate more than a years worth of world maize production every day. There are reasons in nature, why things dont grow indefinitely. As things are in nature, sooner or later, so they must be in the economy. As economic growth rises, we are pushing the planet ever closer to, and beyond some very real environmental limits. With every doubling in the global economy we use the equivalent in resources of all of the previous doublings combined.

Being frugal: the original sustainability? - chris farrell

Complete video at: fora.tv "Frugality is the opposite of being a cheapskate," says Chris Farrell, author of The New Frugality. Farrell asserts that conscientious spending is actually linked to a sustainable, green lifestyle. ----- According to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, The Great Recession may technically be over. But what's clear is that, no matter what the GDP may be, people are hurting financially. In The New Frugality, Chris Farrell, personal finance expert for American Public Media's "Marketplace Money" and contributing economics editor for BusinessWeek, presents a new paradigm for surviving the greatest economic crisis in a generation. The embrace of what Farrell calls the New Frugality signals that half a century of people spending with abandon and borrowing as much as possible is done. Profligacy is out. Frugality is in. Also, The Great Recession comes at a time of another great crisis related to our over consumption: global climate change. This convergence of crises creates opportunities and new ways to be frugal. In everyday money decisions, it turns out that being frugal and being green are synonymous. Farrell suggests we should focus not only on what's affordable in the short term, but also on what's sustainable in the long term. If you're thinking about getting rid of your car and buying a bike to save money, there's no reason you should buy a two-wheeled clunker from Craigslist that needs a trip to the bike shop every other day. As Farrell ... Category: News & Politics Length: 00:04:10.500 Tags: sustainability .

Vancouver real estate - bubble ready to burst...

Is there a real estate bubble waiting to burst? I believe so and most economic indicators show that Canadians are facing a difficult economic future. Right now there is a Postal and Air Canada strike over pensions as one of the major points. Our freshly elected conservative government is going to cut billions in spending to bring deficit under control, austerity measures will also have to happen provincially and with local municipal governments. On YouTube you can find Florida ghost towns, and on web searches there are more. BC real estate market will face a major downward adjustment, be aware. Canadians' debt hits record $1.5 trillion More being borrowed now than during recession More than half of indebted Canadians are borrowing just to afford day-to-day living expenses like food, housing and transportation, the report says. If that debt was spread evenly among all Canadians, the typical family with two children would owe an estimated $176461 in household debt. The report also found that more Canadians are carrying debt into retirement, with one-third of retired households carrying an average debt of $60000 and 17 per cent carrying $100000 or more.

Uae : so rich, so ambitious...

UAE - world's one richest country. At first sight, the UAE seems like a contradictory destination, an Islamic state where traditional Arab lifestyles continue alongside a very frantic version of Western consumerism. But it is this balance that is the secret to its success. It is also a very safe destination in the Middle East. This nation is leading the way for the future of Arabia. One of the most highly industrialized economies in the world, the United Arab Emirates lies in the heart of the Arabian Gulf, and shares land borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman. It is a federation of seven neighboring emirates: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah, Umm al-Qaiwan, Ras al-Khaimah, and Fujairah. The leadership of the United Arab Emirates is both hereditary and federal. The presidency and premiership follows the hereditary line of the Al Nahyan clan in Abu Dhabi, and the Al Maktoum clan in Dubai. The UAE has the world's third-largest reserves of oil, with Abu Dhabi alone having 9% of the global supply. Not surprisingly, this braces the national economy, and is the leading contributor to the GDP. It is said that at current levels of production, oil reserves will last for only another century and the UAE is looking at diversifying its industries. And while they have not been spared by the current global economic crisis, both Abu Dhabi and Dubai have become models to the world of sound, sustainable growth.

Capitalism -- what is it good for?

Speakers: Professor Sanjaya Baru; Phillip Blond; Professor Frank Furedi; Paul Ormerod Chair: Dolan Cummings Following the sub-prime crisis, the credit crunch and the collapse of investment banking, events which have rocked the Western world over the past year, the boast that capitalism can deliver prosperity for all seems less than convincing. Margaret Thatcher's famous claim that 'There is no alternative' (TINA), seemed triumphalist in its day, and accurately described the exhaustion of any left-wing challenge to the market, but it also suggested a lack of a credible moral case for capitalism. This lack is all the more glaring in the context of mounting economic problems. Even before recent dramatic events, there seems to have been a growing cultural dissatisfaction with the market, not simply confined to fringe anti-capitalist protests, but discernable in mainstream politics and even business, which defensively insists on its 'corporate social responsibility'. It has become fashionable to renounce both corporate greed and consumerism, and there are regular demands for governments to intervene and regulate the market to contain its worst excesses. Conspicuous consumption is accused of destroying the planet, wiping out indigenous cultures and corroding deeper moral values. Some critics argue capitalism actually makes us ill because of its relentless focus on acquiring ever more stuff, and suggest that individual happiness, rather than GDP, should be the measure of a ...

If santa claus is chinese, what can the us expect for christmas this year?

Yesterday, markets rallied and you had bond bigwig Bill Gross of Pimco tweeting: "today is a santa claus rally prepare for record cold winter solstice upon us, euroland will not go away, china lurks, US not an island." So there's the threat of Europe, concern about China, and the US susceptible to all these problems, not to mention it's own. Now the China US issue -- is a favorite for US politicians, too. They love to hammer China -- we've seen it in the GOP debates -- we've seen it in negative campaign ads. But our guest says china is not to blame for America's economic ills. Far from it -- she asks if Santa Claus is Chinese! She points out that US manufacturing declined before China became engaged in the global economy going from 53% of the economy in 1965 to 25% in the 1970's. Meanwhile, Americans she argues have been the biggest beneficiaries of Chinese labor and consumerism with us exports to china growing 468 percent over the last decade while to the rest of the world it's been 55 percent. But all this great growth aside, what has been the effect of China's rise on...well....China? After all, you can't have this type of growth without some malinvestment, and as we have covered on this show in the past, the chinese banking system, with its tremendous loan growth over the years, is undoubtedly hiding plenty of malinvestment.

Somebody gotta keep the prices down.wmv

A song which challenges a social philosophy that it is ALL about economics. Nope, I believe that there's more to measuring a nation's health than making the GDP books balance. How are we doing on the environment, social justice issues, exploitation? Our major corporations and banks are borrowing against future productivity and lending money now, from our children's and their children's, piggy-banks. What is it about mainstream politics that keeps us coming back to this tired old Lab/Lib cartel which dominates our politics. For the most part, politicians are seen as puppets and liars but so long as we remain free to laugh and poke fun at Tony, Julia and co, that makes them all right bloke(tte)s! These power-seeking zealots have hijacked our democratic process in service of their real owners. The Greens, independents and lesser mainstream parties, consist mainly of members who have engaged in public-representation and service, on a basis of having a passion for their cause. In UK, USA and in Australia we have elected as leaders, representatives of the 'Labour/blue-collar' movement, yet we bail-out multi-national corporations and banks. We sit idly by as our workforce watches the exodus of a manufacturing industry to countries that don't adhere to any human-rights charter.

Re: "2011 citizen ambassador video contest / 2011"

The best idea/solution in the long-run for macroeconomics crisis, which foster socio-political and ethno-religious crisis; is the valuation of food and agriculture as the unit of account. The values of food and agriculture as the unit of account, are enormous when compared with gold and silver, as the unit of account. These include: food and agriculture can be produced in abundance to meet demand and aspirations of billions of peoples wanting to become wealthy at the same time. While, with gold and silver, wealth creation is limited to privileged persons in the society. And as a result, discontented and poor persons envy and seek to deprive privileged wealthy persons, of their legitimate wealth, unjustly. Food and agriculture as the unit of account, shall foster a sustainable green economic growth. In an ideal situation, where and when Real Gross Domestic Necessity Goods (RGDNG) such as Food and Agriculture is the unit of account, demand and supply of necessity goods (food and agriculture) is directly proportional to Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Thus, Real Gross Domestic Necessity Goods (RGDNG) prevents inflation and unemployment. An intrinsic, limited and scare non-necessity commodity such as gold, silver nor fiat money, as the unit of account, and non-globalization of macroeconomics is to blame for financial crisis. Food and Agriculture, as the unit of account, is the long-term solution for financial crisis, with complement to rules under the Rome Declaration on ...

Authors@google: tomas sedlacek

Tomas Sedlacek has shaken the study of economics as few ever have. Named one of the "Young Guns" and one of the "five hot minds in economics" by the Yale Economic Review, he serves on the National Economic Council in Prague, where his provocative writing has achieved bestseller status. How has he done it? By arguing a simple, almost heretical proposition: economics is ultimately about good and evil. In The Economics of Good and Evil, Sedlacek radically rethinks his field, challenging our assumptions about the world. Economics is touted as a science, a value-free mathematical inquiry, he writes, but it's actually a cultural phenomenon, a product of our civilization. It began within philosophy--Adam Smith himself not only wrote The Wealth of Nations, but also The Theory of Moral Sentiments--and economics, as Sedlacek shows, is woven out of history, myth, religion, and ethics. "Even the most sophisticated mathematical model," Sedlacek writes, "is, de facto, a story, a parable, our effort to (rationally) grasp the world around us." Economics not only describes the world, but establishes normative standards, identifying ideal conditions. Science, he claims, is a system of beliefs to which we are committed. To grasp the beliefs underlying economics, he breaks out of the field's confines with a tour de force exploration of economic thinking, broadly defined, over the millennia. He ranges from the epic of Gilgamesh and the Old Testament to the emergence of Christianity, from ... Category: People & Blogs Length: 00:42:14.250 Tags: .

Authors@google: jeffrey sachs, "the price of civilization"

"The Price of Civilization" As he has done in dozens of countries around the world in the midst of economic crises, Sachs turns his unique diagnostic skills to what ails the American economy. He finds that both political parties—and many leading economists—have missed the big picture, offering shortsighted solutions such as stimulus spending or tax cuts to address complex economic problems that require deeper solutions. Sachs argues that we have profoundly underestimated globalization's long-term effects on our country, which create deep and largely unmet challenges with regard to jobs, incomes, poverty, and the environment. America's single biggest economic failure, Sachs argues, is its inability to come to grips with the new global economic realities. Yet Sachs goes deeper than an economic diagnosis. By taking a broad, holistic approach—looking at domestic politics, geopolitics, social psychology, and the natural environment as well—Sachs reveals the larger fissures underlying our country's current crisis. He shows how Washington has consistently failed to address America's economic needs. He describes a political system that has lost its ethical moorings, in which ever-rising campaign contributions and lobbying outlays overpower the voice of the citizenry. He also looks at the crisis in our culture, in which an overstimulated and consumption-driven populace in a ferocious quest for wealth now suffers shortfalls of social trust, honesty, and compassion.

Our real problem, he argues, lies in the increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of the richest Americans, while stagnant wages and rising costs have forced the middle class to go deep into debt. Reich's thoughtful and detailed account of where we are headed over the next decades—and how we can fix our economic system—is a practical, humane, and much-needed blueprint for restoring America's economy and rebuilding our society.

Mary Robinson's lecture took place on November 23rd 2010, and focused on reshaping the debate on climate change to focus on justice in the developing world and how addressing the issue of climate change must address the issue of justice also.

The lecture was the eleventh in an ongoing series organised by the EPA. The series continues in 2011 with Climate Change -- The Transport Challenge on February 1st and Climate Change & Agriculture : ensuring food production is not threatened on Tuesday 15th March.

Davos open forum 2010 - "yes we can?"

www.weforum.org 30.01.2010 US President and Nobel Peace Laureate Barack Obama awoke high expectations with his slogan "Yes, we can!" After one year of presidency, it can be seen where President Obama has introduced political innovation and where he has not. To what extent has the impact of the financial and economic crisis been curbed in the US? What are the relations between the US and the Arab countries? To what extent has the international political situation on climate changed due to the new position of the US? Does the Nobel Prize favour or harm Obama's Administration? This session is co-organized with the Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches (SEK-FEPS). Susan M. Collins, Senator from Maine (Republican), USA Riz Khan, Anchor, Al Jazeera, USA Ulrike Lunacek, Member of the European Parliament, Speaker of the European Green Party Kenneth Roth, Executive Director, Human Rights Watch, USA; Global Agenda Council on Human Rights & Protection Sir Martin Sorrell, Group Chief Executive, WPP, United Kingdom; Global Agenda Council on Marketing & Branding Moderated by Christine Maier, TV Host, Swiss Television SF, Switzerland Category: News & Politics Length: 01:08:17.250 Tags: .
