Show Notes:
Grand Theft Monopoly – Professor Michael Hudson excels in describing globalisation from a financial snipers perspective, analysing how real estate (land) is used in the game of currency siphoning out of Latvia, Eastern Europe and Russia. What does neo-liberalism deliver? Who is behind the controls? Also gold, white collar sub-prime crime and GW’s departing deception.

We challenge you to find a more succinct summary of globalisation and the Washington Consensus.

Download the episode. Part one of this interview can be found via the podcast.

October will be an interesting month with Hudson touring Australia.

This clip is produced by a student of Fred Foldvary’s, Jesslyn Farros. Fred gave an excellent talk on the GFC late last year and has been interviewed on the Renegade Economists, where he gave a fascinating insight to the similarities between georgism, anarchism and austrian economics and expands on thiscommentary on Silvio Gessell here. Well done Jesslyn.

Show Notes:
Protecting the 1%: the grand theft continues as Prof Michael Hudson shines the spotlight on the financial warfare of today. Hear how the $12 trillion financial bailout is non-inflationary and how the pump priming has been replaced by the palm priming of the vested interests.

This is a must listen!

Read Hudson on Obama’s Financial Reforms.

Next week Hudson will discuss Latvia’s financial devastation through the prism of the Washington Consensus.
