and economic minister his name is paul ghettoes he's a market liberal and he comes from the university of chicago and yesterday night just to give you an example he already saved we're going to change the social democratic economic model and these changes are going to be sweeping so. we have to expect a serious cut in in social benefits for poor families what was implemented under losing us for this and what the former president and the working party we have to expect privatization program that was already mentioned he had already mostly get is already has one hundred fifty state owned companies on his list it remains to be seen how many of those will be privatized and more neoliberal course and economy definitely but as of his i thank you very much. how we in is just around the corner and millions of americans are expected to celebrated the u.s. national retail federation annual survey says more than one hundred seventy five million americans are planning to spook around the festival of horror could help kick off a retail boom in the u.s. during the last quarter total spending on costumes and de

and what started as an operation at the university of chicago, a lot of people who work with the quartermaster came out of the university of chicago and they would have a clever person who decided he was quartermaster to bring in all the food companies to work with the military. chicago for all of you who have read carl sandberg's poems is the center of food production. slaughtering, meat, not today our country is globalized. but at that point, the engagement of all of these food companies with the military was very clever. and maybe you can say that's the start of the military- industrial complex because they started working with the private sector. now, as the war got on and people are planning more and more, the military foods, first the c rations in the k rations, were hard to carry, in cans, soldiers didn't want to eat them, often it was horrible food, some say one of the rations was like the indian food, can which is a dried beef with berries and many people wouldn't eat it. there was a problem of the food being sent out to the military arrived, even though canned, there was a push for s

his would-be finance minister studied at the university of chicago. ime i think in modern history you hear a platform that's about increasing market forces in brazil, reducing the role of government in a lot of the businesses they have there keep in mind, he's very, very controversial. he has said some awful things about gays that should not be repeated and what is astounding about that fact is 29% of gays in brazil voted for him, anyway they said they were going to do that why? because people in brazil are so frustrated with rampant crime, with horrendous economy, the worst recession they've ever seen so it's really been -- this is an incredible moment for brazil. we're going to see how it works out. the social issues are one thing. the economic issues are also very -- >> former military guy >> former military guy longtime member of congress. doesn't have a real party, though, so it's not clear he can actually execute once he's in power. this is the closest thing we've seen to a mandate to move away from government intervention. >> it's interesting to

i did study at the university of chicago law school, but please don't confuse me with being an economist. the third thing is the title of this talk "anti-trust and how hyptocracy and how the market corrupts what's supposed to be doing well," is not my idea. that's ralph's. ralph is ralph and i'm not ralph. so i'm going to deal with this challenge but asking four questions. what is market fundamentalism? what are markets supposed to do well? what is anti-trust supposed to do well? and finally what is kleptocracy and how does that fit into this discussion? maybe the best way to start on microfundamentalism is to reduce construction in the way policies fail in markets today. we have laissez-faire. next to that is the chicago school of economics. then let's talk about socialists, democrats and economists. i'm not talking about all of those, but which ones fall into the category of market fundamental and chicago's school, primarily. t tmt. >> the market fund mentalist has a view of human nature which focuses on the model of economic m man. always rational, acting in their self-interest to max

do know something about polson's economic advisor who trained in the university of chicago. he wants to privatize everything. what we do not know is if jair bolsonaro will go along with these ideas. voted against ideas his economic advisor is now proposing. it is unclear how long this alliance will last and if this will move forward with investors -- with the agenda investors are hoping for. david: let us turn to job numbers. we have got carl riccadonna here. ,resident trump tweeted out 3.7% unemployment is the lowest number since 1969. >> this does highlight the continued tightening of slack in the market. not getting the wage pressure so that signals more room to run. said we can kudlow go lower in unemployment. carl: you know you are near the low point when you start to get wage pressures and that is not happening. if we look at the hurricane distortions and things like construction earnings and earnings for utility workers who are from out of state to do repairs. .7%e were .6% and increases. had they been more in line with the trend, you would have seen less wage pressur

his economic advisor is a man that is from the university of chicago and is a trained economist.ys he wants to privatize everything. it remains to be seen if he will be able to do that because brazil remains a country where state countries still play an important role. and a shift in a privatization program could be exceptionally difficult even though we have had a major shakeup of brazilian politics. when it comes down to it, congress may drag its heels. it may not prove that popular. what he appears to be elected on has more to do with anticorruption and moral proposals than economics. joe: thank you very much. for more on the election and its impact on markets, we want to welcome in shamaila khan. when we look at what happened in brazil and some of the other populist moves we have seen in mexico and elsewhere, what does that tell us about the economic future of the region in general? there areit tells us opportunities and not just risks. i would classify brazil as an opportunity. particularly after the results that we saw last night. not only was it important that olson aro ha

it's actually with the city of chicago and the presidential center and i could be wrong but i belief also the university of chicago but could i be wrong on that point. but the gluetoggle of chicago implicated in all of this because they stand to profit millions of millions of dollars. >> and so -- the community benefits agreement is about guaranteeing a certain amount of jobs for people in the neighborhood, actually live in the south shore neighborhood. some blocks away from the center is going built. i live in that neighborhood. and also housing. already a housing complex that is across the street from the site, the rents have been raise and haven't even broken ground yet in this place. so, there are things around housing and jobs, things around policing which is something we have been pushing for because we know when new things are built, when new shiny things are built, often times that means more policing and and in chicago we spend nearly 40% of the public service budget on policing and one group that did the group was -- amplifying that fact how much money we spent on policing in chicago. shares n

he was born and raised in new york city, he attended brown university and the university of chicago law school. after clerking for a judge on the fifth circuit he was hired through the attorney general's on them -- on her program, -- honor program. where he served for more than three years before becoming -- before coming to the senate. i got to know him when we joined the staff of our former colleague at the beginning of 1990. almost 29 years ago. before i met him, i was friends with his father. his father, julius, was a member of the greatest generation himself, the son of an immigrant who arrived in our country alone at age 14. he enlisted in the army at age 17 and fought in europe, where he was wounded twice and he fought to relieve a besieged town during the battle of the bulge. he died last year before his 92nd birthday. he was one of my heroes, and a great man. having known the father, my expectations for the sun have have not-- the son been disappointed. we work closely with richard as .e worked with several senators staff continued to work with him when he was at the justice de

taught at the university of chicago law school and after getting tenure moved on and settled at harvard. not very long after that he became dean of the harvard law school and could not keep that job either. he became associate justice, solicitor general and then associate justice of the supreme court. judge paul engel meyer, he is judge of the southern district of new york and has been 2011. i should see he came on the court in 2010. he went to harvard and to harvard law school as well. he clerked for judge wald on the dc circuit and was in the solicitor's office and then he was in private practice before going on the bench. professor randall kennedy, to my left, who was a rhodes scholar, a graduate yale law school, clerked for judge kelly right. during the harvard faculty in 1984, he has been a productive prolific author of books, remarkably, he is writing books, and i thought it was interesting that he is a member of the law institute and academy of arts and sciences and philosophical association. so we have an array of three former clerks, with myself, i was there in 1974, 1975 for t

one of the the greatest economis of all time was a man frank knight from university of chicago. e advantage of all government subsidies. everybody is taking advantage of government subsidies. they should take advantage of government subsidies. it is free money if used for noble cause, making the air more breathable all the better, i have no problem whatsoever to encourage people to breathe cleaner air. i don't think $7500 a vehicle is the right number but something is the right number. david: ben stein, i have to ask you about kavanaugh because you've been vocal about this in the past. >> yes. david: what effect do you think this whole kavanaugh business will have on elections in november? >> well if i were the democratic party i would commit harikari in shame the way they treated mr. kavanaugh. the way they treated mr. kavanaugh makes joe mccarthy look like george washington or thomas jefferson by comparison. the way they treated him will be shameful for all eternity. i think democrats do well in elections and midterms. i don't think they beat out the republicans. i think republ

she went to yale also, university of chicago. she runs in iowa, she may be the person to take on trump. there's silver linings out there for the anti-kavanaugh americans. >> interesting. susan, the supreme court is now in a position, what does this mean, the court is in a position where it's significantly more conservative than the rest of the country. >> yeah, so i think there are two ways in which we're seeing the court really hurtling towards a crisis of legitimacy. one is sort of the partisanship and the manner which kavanaugh was appointed to the court. two, it was the issue of the president having lost the popular vote. but it's also this notion that we now have five justices that are substantially to the right of the majority of the country on really, really important issues. now, that can occur sort of at the margins. the supreme court sometimes does things they're not responsive to political polling. whenever that happens too often, and it begins to feel fundamentally undemocratic so i do think that either we're going to

after briefly practicing at a law firm, justice kagan became a law professor at the university of chicago law school and later at harvard. she then served in the clinton administration as associate counsel to the president and then as deputy assistant to the president for domestic policy. after this time in washington, justice kagan served as the dean of harvard law school. she was then nominated and confirmed as solicitor general of the united states and then was appointed as associate justice of the supreme court. justice kagan has been a supporter of pro bono and public service throughout her career and we are happy to welcome her today as the aba celebrates the 10th anniversary of the national celebration of pro bono. we appreciate that justice kagan has taken time out of her very busy schedule to be here with us today, and we are especially grateful that she agreed to serve as the honorary chair of the 10th anniversary of the national celebration of pro bono. please join me in welcoming associate justice kagan. >> thank you. please sit down. thank you. not every audience gives you a

i did study at the university of chicago law school, but please don't confuse me with being an economist. the third thing is, the title of this talk "anti-trust and how cleptocracy corrupts what markets are supposed to do well," is not my idea, it's ralph's. ralph is ralph. i'm not ralph. i'm going to deal with this challenge by asking four questions. what is market fundamentalism? what are markets supposed to do well? what is anti-trust supposed to do well? finally, what is cleptocracy and how does that fit into this discussion? maybe the best way to start on market fundamentalism is to envision a spectrum of the way different policies deal with intervention in markets because everybody believes in markets, even communists today. look at the spectrum on on the far right, is has say fair, next to that the chicago school of law and economics, then talk about the post-chicago school progressives, social democrats, and [ inaudible ]. i'm not talking about all of those. which ones fall in the category of market fundalism i would say laissez fair and chicago school primarily. that's what i'm

so he has a good, very good new finance minister, who comes in, phd university of chicago economics, to bring money investment in brazil. do deals with the united states. he is skeptical of china. he shares skepticism with trump. i think this could be a very good thing for brazil. connell: as a final quick point, we don't have a lot of time, james, not just brazil, pro-market governments in other areas of south america, argentina, colombia, ecuador, is it better relationship time for united states that part of the world? >> definitely a time. chile, argentina, colombia for sure, they can together really try to put pressure on this brutal dictatorship in venezuela where people are suffering and fleeing the country, starving to death without medicine. there are many good things that can come out of this victory. connell: we're out of time unfortunately. we'll talk more about the subject as time goes on. james, appreciate it. >> sure. melissa: all eyes on apple. the tech company taking over new york ahead of a major product launch tomorrow. we have a preview next. ♪ no washington wall st

person he said he was going to put in charge of the economy, a kind of classic, right-wing university of chicagooliberal economist that the international market and the oligarchical class absolutely adores. it is kind of does it has neutralized what would happen the opposition to them. what they have done to lula, not just putting him in prison when he was leading the polls, but since and what they have done is they have banned all media outlets from even being able to interview lula. we have tried. others have tried. there is a restraint order on the part of the supreme court to prevent lula from being able to speak out at this crucial moment. it is not enough to put them in prison to stop him from running when people want him to be president, they have censored him that applies not only to him, but to all of us in the media. the brazilian institutions and establishment there's a lot of blame, just like u.s. institutions do for the rise of trump, british institutions do for brexit, and just the general globalization policies of europe does for the rise of right-wing extremism and that part of t
