'd what's the purpose all that when it's been shown to to essentially fail to yield accurate information from many suspects so i think it should do or produce accurate iterations from almost anybody but certainly the field to attract me. to any accurate it's rubbish throws a bit of fire because they didn't know any accountability is that you would i would love me people held accountable but it turns out the model right though 'd is to look forward not backwards the problem we have right now is what if they don't what words but digital who are still there are going to remain stuck where. no i

i help myself to was the action and i started to notice that i could co-exist with that while still living a life that went beyond that. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. tyson nation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or i'm

a going to shallowness. be . during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was and most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it was bed you know much worse

objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today. inequality is really unprecedented i'm sure that total inequality it's like the worst periods in american history. but if you're a find it more closely inequality comes from the extreme wealth in a tiny sector of the population fraction of one percent. there were periods like the gilded age in the twenty's and the early ninety's and so on when a situation developed by the similar to this. of this periods extreme because if

you look at their wealth distribution the inequality mostly comes from super wealth . literally the top 110th of a percent are just super wealthy. not only is it extremely unjust in itself. inequality has highly negative consequences on the side is awful. because the very fact of inequality has a corrosive harmful effect mockers if. you open by talk about the american dream or the american dream is closed and belittle it will infer that you were kurds. a ridge it was possible for a worker to get a decent job. in a corps of children to school. to a collapse. imagine

yourself in an outside position looking for mars. what do you see. in the united states when there are professed to like democracy. in a democracy public opinion is going to have some influence on policy. and

then the government carries out actions determined by the population and that's what democracy means. it's important to understand that privileged and powerful sectors have never liked democracy and for very good reasons. democracy puts power into the hands of the general population and takes it away from them. as kind of the principle of concentration of wealth and power. concentration of wealth yields concentration of power particularly so as the cost of elections skyrockets which kind of forces the political parties into the pockets

of major corporations. and this political power. translates into legislation that increases the concentration of wealth so fiscal policy like expo us see the deregulation. rules of corporate governance a whole variety of measures political measures designed to increase the concentration of wealth and power which in turn to yield more political power to do the same thing. and that's what we've been seeing. so we have this kind of vicious cycle in progress. you know actually it is so traditional that it was described by adam smith in 776 he read the famous wealth of nations. he says in

england the principle architects of policy are the people on the society in his day merchants and manufacturers. and they make sure that their own interests are very well cared for however greed is the impact on the people of england there are others. now it's not a merger of manufacturers it's financial institutions and multinational corporations the people who adam smith called the masters of mankind and they're following the vile maxim over our selves and nothing for anyone else. they're just going to pursue policies that benefit them and harm everyone else. and in the absence of a general popular reaction that's pretty much what you'd expect. right

through american history there. it's been an ongoing clash between. pressure for more freedom and democracy coming from below and the efforts that elite control and domination coming from above. because back to the founding of the country. james madison the main framer who was as much of a believer in democracy is anybody in the world that they nevertheless felt that the united states system should be designed and indeed was his initiative was designed so that power should be in the hands of the wealthy. because the wealthier there are more responsible set of men and therefore the structure of the formal

constitutional system placed most power in the hands of the senate or the senate was not elected in those days it was selected from the wealthy men as madison put it had sympathy for property owners in their right. to read the debates at the constitutional convention. madison the major concern of the society has to be to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. and here argument suppose everyone had to vote freely as they will the majority of the poor get together and they would organize to take away the property of the rich and he said that would obviously be unjust so you can't have that so therefore the constitutional system has to be set up to prevent democracy.

which is of some interest that this debate has a hurried tradition goes back to the 1st major book on political. systems aristotle's politics. he says of all of them the best is democracy and it only points out exactly the flaws that medicine pointed out. if athens were a democracy for free men the poor would get together and take away the property the rich. well same dilemma they had opposite solutions aristotle proposed what we would nowadays call a welfare state and try to reduce inequality. so the same problem absent solutions one is reduce inequality will have this problem and the other is reduced monikers.

if you look at the history of the united states it's a constant struggle between these 2 tendencies democratising tendency that's mostly coming from the population pressure from below and you get this constant battle going on periods or gratian periods of progress in 1906 for example were a period of significant democratization. sectors of the folk elation that were usually passive and the city became organized active story pressing their demand. and they became more and more involved in decision making and activism and so on. they just changed consciousness and.

minority rights. we don't why are our. women's rates. if we force it to say. in terms of the. american as. nice a. safety net survival opposition to aggression i'm sorry did i was criticized as well the militant dissent that if they are serious about lawn on the provider of the vietnamese people are on black people and people can turn for other people. for the 1000000 poor people in america when you begin. to reason.

the system of distribution of wealth the question of restructuring american society is are all symbolizing say. that caused great fear. her. anticipated the power of a should have but it didn't anticipate the power of the reaction to the civilizing effects of the sixty's did not anticipate the strength of the reaction to it. the backlash.

this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. ons it's not as if it's tickled at susie's. and may look at things cool sets their classes kristie cake or 3 on my end i need to stay on your phones at a special projects funded he tells it to close all agree on i knew that that is the end of a footy team but fun now the mountains of waste only grow higher. you know world of big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the

hawks. there has been under norma's concentrated coordinated business offensive beginning in the seventy's to try to beat back the golan tarion efforts that went right through the nixon years you see it in many respects and over on the right you see it in things like the famous pell memorandum. sent to the chamber of commerce major business. leaders supreme court justice powell. warning them that business is losing control over the society. and something has to be done to counter these forces course we put it in terms of defense defending ourselves against outside power.

if you look at it it's a call for business to use its control over resources to carry out a major offensive to beat back this democratizing wave. over on the liberal side something exactly similar the 1st. major report of the a trilateral commission is concerned with this. called the crisis of democracy. trilateral commission is liberal internationalists in their flavors indicated by the fact that they pretty much staff the corridor ministration. they were also told that democratizing tendencies of the sixty's and so we have to react to it. they were concerned that there was an excess of democracy developing.

previously passive and obedient parts of the population or sometimes called the special interests who were beginning to organize and try to enter the political arena and they said that imposes too much pressure on the state can't deal with all these pressures so therefore they have to return to passive that they become the politicised. and they were particularly concerned with what was happening to young people the young people are going to free and independent. in the way they. but it there's a failure on the part of the schools the universities churches the institutions responsible for the indoctrination of the young there for it's not mine.

if you look at their study there's one interest they never mention private business and that makes sense they're not special interests they're the national interest kind of by definition so they're ok they're allowed the you know have lobbyists by campaign staff the executive make decisions that's fine but it's the rest of the special interest of the general population who have to be subdued. when that's the specter it's the kind of ideological level of the backlash but the major backlash which was in peril of this. was just redesigning the economy. since the 1970 is there's been a concerted effort on the part of the masters of mankind the owners of the society

to shift the economy in 2 crucial respects one to increase the role of financial institutions banks investment firms and so on insurance companies. but a 2007 break before the latest crash they had literally 40 percent of corporate profits. far beyond anything in the past. back in the 1900. fifty's as for many years before the united states economy was based largely on production. in the united states the great manufacturing center of the world.

financial institutions used to be a relatively small part of the economy and their task was to distribute unused as it likes bank savings to productive activity and buying our way and had on hand a reserve of money on holders to monitor on the back of the reserve bank can create gratin call behind providing any hunting money on banks or of the community by making the national credit available for many purposes for a manufacturer to meet him or all during my coming period to unlock and remodel her car and her money on a good reason why people are always needing more granting and i have immediately available. that's a contribution to the economy. regulatory system goes a step blish banks were regulated the commercial investment banks were separated cut back for risk in this practices that could harm private people. there had been

remember no financial crashes during the period of regulation by the 1970 s. that changed. the sort of getting the huge increase in the flows of speculative capital just astronomically increased an enormous changes in the financial sector from traditional banks to risky investments. complex financial instruments money manipulations and so on increasingly the business of the country isn't production at least not here. the primary business here is business. you can even see it in the choice of directors so the director of a major american corporation back in the fifty's and sixty's was very likely to be an engineer and as somebody who graduated from

a place like mit maybe industrial management more recently the directorship in the top managerial positions or people who came out of business schools learned financial trickery of various kinds and so on. by the 1970 s. say general electric can make more profit playing games with money than you could buy producing in the united states. you have to remember that general electric is substantially a financial institution today it makes half its profits just by moving money around in complicated ways and it's very unclear that they're doing anything that's of value to the economy. so that's one phenomena let's go financial ization of the economy. going along with that is the oil sure and production.

trade system was reconstructed with a very explicit design of putting working people in competition with one another all over the world. and what it's led to is a reduction in the share of into on the part of working people. spent particularly striking in the united states but happening worldwide it means that an american workers in competition with super exploited worker in china. meanwhile highly paid professionals are protected they're not placed in competition with the rest of the world far from it and of course a capitalist free to move a workers are free to move labor can move but chattel can well again going back to

the classics like adam smith as he pointed out free circulation of labor is the foundation of any free trade system but workers are pretty much stuck the wealthy in the privileged are protected so you get obvious consequences and they're recognized in fact praised. policy is designed to increase in security. alan greenspan when he testified to conquers he explained his success in running the economy as based on what he called greater worker insecurity. a typical restraint on compensation increases has been evident for a few years but as i outlined in some detail in testimony last month i believe that job insecurity has played the dominant role workers in security are going to be under control. they're not going to ask for say decent wages were

a decent working conditions or the opportunity to free association meaning unionized. now for the masters of mankind that's fine they've made their profits but for the population it's devastating. for these 2 processes financial ization and offshoring are part of what led to the vicious cycle of concentration of wealth concentration of power. all over it was.
