  • An Economic Plan for The Rest of Us

    Wonderful podcast on how we need to rethink our approach to capitalism, work, and trade. We need more politicians listening to this.

  • The hand becoming more visible

    In this episode with Nat Dyer, I learned that the invisible hand of Adam Smith with the rest of classical economics is pretty much a myth. The hand is becoming more visible due to the corruption from the elites into our political process. They fear competition from below so they would stop at nothing to rig the game in their favor.

North of the Border: A Canadian Perspective on the Free Trade Era (with Luke Savage)
Q: What role have large corporations like Walmart and others played in shaping Canada's economy and influencing trade policy?
Savage notes that large corporations lobby for provisions that benefit them in trade agreements, often to the detriment of Canadian sovereignty and worker rights.
North of the Border: A Canadian Perspective on the Free Trade Era (with Luke Savage)
Q: How has NAFTA and later the USMCA shaped Canada's economy and sovereignty?
Savage argues that the primary beneficiaries have been corporations, leading to increased inequality and a service-based economy. The agreements restricted Canadian economic policies and prioritized corporate interests.
North of the Border: A Canadian Perspective on the Free Trade Era (with Luke Savage)
Q: What was the U.S.-Canada trade relationship like before NAFTA, and how did it change afterward?
Savage explains that Canada's trade relationship with the U.S. has a historical context, with tariffs and protective measures initially shaping the economy, which shifted towards liberalization and free trade with agreements like NAFTA.
You Can't Tariff Knowledge (with César Hidalgo)
Q: What would you do if you were in charge of trade policy for the United States?
I would not use an aggressive stance to tariffs and instead focus on leveraging other areas like making it easier for people to get visas to promote trade, while funding research to enhance the country's innovative capacity.
Back to Basics Series: Homo Economicus Must Die (with Samuel Bowles)
Q: Do you think that needs a job?
It's just accurate to call people who work for a living 'workers'.
