Show Notes
Alanna Hartzok discusses US Imperialism through South America, Eastern Europe and beyond. The backlash is such that a possible breakdown in US unipolar dominance is underway. The systemic imperative encouraging such strategic expansion is then explained. We finish on a positive with the Universal Basic Income.

Alanna is the author of the Earth Belongs to Everyone (free e-book PDF download), recent Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania’s District 9, General Secretary of the International Union for Land Value Taxation and International Liaison for the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation.

During the interview we discuss the Venuezuela coup attempt, Paul Craig Roberts on Iran, and then move onto Alanna’s must read essay The Economics of War and Peace. How many US army bases on foreign soil are there? 113 in Italy alone!

That completes four weeks of the big names in our economic niche, of Anderson, Harrison, Hudson and Hartzok. Show your support for the show by becoming a member to our parent body Prosper Australia. Our membership year has just turned over, so now is the perfect time to support the movement.

I mentioned at the end of the show some exciting things happening:
The Economist on LVT
Federal Treasury modelling showing Land Tax the most efficient and fairest tax
Jessica Irvine, journalist at Fairfax, discussing how Land Tax must be included in the tax reform debate. A poignant video accompanies the article.

Show Notes
We discuss Hudson’s soon to be released book Labor in the Ancient World, on the manner in which incentives were provided to build public works. Also the battle between rulers, the evolving banking system and the resultant tensions to maintaining community cohesion. Of course I couldn’t resist and had to ask Michael about Elizabeth Warren and current day banking rorts. Fuse lit ….!

Beyond the 1% – Fred Harrison

Show Notes
Lead author Fred Harrison on rentier controlled economic policy as we analyse human rights, land grabbing, neo-con policy mobility and the failure of the economics profession to recognise reality. Are first home owners the one’s being squeezed this time?

“We are in the final death throes of a cannibalistic kind of economic activity. It is devouring itself.”

Fred Harrison – Beyond the 1% by Renegadeeconomists on Mixcloud

Harrison’s first book, The Power in the Land (1983), predicted the economic crisis of 1992. He followed this with a 10-year forecast (published in The Chaos Makers [1997]) that a global financial crisis would be triggered when house prices peaked in 2007. He wrote:

By 2007 Britain and most of the other industrially advanced economies will be in the throes of frenzied activity in the land market…Land prices will be near their 18-year peak…on the verge of the collapse that will presage the global depression of 2010.

Real estate “bubbles” can be neutralised, but governments refuse to reform the financial system. They are now laying the foundations for the next global property boom/bust, which will create even greater devastation than that which followed the implosion of the West’s banks in 2008.
