The Georgist Podcourse

Karl FitzgeraldMultimediaLeave a Comment

Hi all,

I thought an update was required for all Renegade Economists listeners. The show is now broadcast on the last Wednesday of the month from 6 – 6.30pm on 3CR. The podcast usually goes online a few days later. All show notes will now be placed on our parent body Prosper Australia’s website, under the Renegade Economists tag.

The show’s format has also been updated, with a move away from current affairs and onto a 12 part course on Georigst economics. Yes, it’s time to look at the founding principles to an earth rights democracy.

Thank you for all your support over the 11 years of the weekly show. Stripping the show back to monthly will allow me more time to work on research and video.

Show Notes

A collage to see us out in show 573. My first introduction to 3CR was via a late Sunday night show in 1990 called Itch to Scratch. They mixed politics over music to make learning fun. Hopefully this collage helps summarise some of the core themes of the show over the last 11 years. Enjoy the holidays.

 

Snippets from Teckla Negga Melchoir, Laurie Macfarlane, Yannis Tziligakis, Gary Flomenhoft, Ricardo Haussmann, Guy Standing and John Freebairn.

Music by Vorte, Mary Lattimore, Secret Circuit, F33Lings and the beloved Poddington Bear

Show Notes
Frank de Jong (co-founder Canadian Green Party) talks about the fading political currency of policy makers and their inability to meet the demands of inequality alongside rampant right-wing influence. How can a pre-emptive economic system be enabled to deal with issues at source? Taxation is not just to raise revenue, but to improve economic outcomes. Check his work via https://earthsharing.ca/

Show Notes
Dave Giesen (Henry George School of Social Sciences, San Fran) discusses the latest round of efforts to help the homeless. Will a tax on Silicon Valley unicorns to fund homeless services make a lasting difference? So many people are feeling the precarity but so few grasp the Georgist story. Earth Rights are Birth Rights. Instead the cry of humanity continues to slip back towards sharecropping. Cheery as always, we hope this helps you read between the lines.

Melanie’s quote:

All my life I have observed creative people unable to create due to not owning land.. i yearn to grow food…to be able to be with the soil…but how ? I live in a bus to avoid the rental costs but must always move on….i see large tracts of land owned by one old person….a few animals graze where i could create a garden of Eden….creativity and the gifts of good people lie fallow because we cannot secure a place on Earth to grow ….what can we do ? I seek a way.
