×This is Jim Sawyer for Capitalism in Crisis.org Fraud always involves deception. With increasing frequency, we are beset by fraud-laced schemes. Remember the Wells-Fargo banking scandal in which two million fake customer accounts were created? Here’s an even more jaw-dropping example of pseudo-capitalism, from Germany. A man bombed a soccer team’s bus, allegedly, but first, he rigged the market.... Audio and narration produced by Jim Sawyer. Audio editing by Quincy L. Lewis (Flipside-Ink Publishing)…
This is Jim Sawyer for Capitalism in Crisis.org Wells-Fargo Bank, in April, clawed back an additional $75 million from two executives it now holds accountable for the bank’s five-year sales scandal. As many as two-million fake customer accounts were opened at management’s behest..... Audio and narration produced by Jim Sawyer. Audio edited by Quincy L. Lewis (Flipside-Ink Publishing)…
Julia Ward Howe, who penned the Battle Hymn of the Republic—just months after Fort Sumter’s fall—was a writer, poet, abolitionist, social activist and suffragette. To understand Ward Howe, we must understand her contextually, within the turbulent period in which she lived. Truth goes marching on, she exclaimed, profoundly. What a fitting backdrop for reflection upon..... (Featuring The Battle Hymn of the Republic Penned By Julia Ward Howe//selection not owned by Jim Sawyer)…
Communism has evolved. Remember the old Soviet system? It crashed in 1991. In place of markets, Soviets used quotas, fashioned by committees. Never mind what citizens actually wanted—or needed—stuff was chosen for them by bureaucrats, instead. Of course, when the price system is undermined, disastrous consequences may follow. For the Soviet system, economic and political ...…
Let’s get down to basics. The Washington swamp must be drained, NOW. Sound familiar? Right out of Donald Trump’s play book? Right out of father’s play book, also. Throw the bums out; in the Sawyer household was a familiar refrain. Fundamentalists like Buss reduce Technicolor-like complexity, to black and white simplicity. The only thing in...…
Buss was a complex character. I eavesdropped on father as we were closing our neighborhood store—the night before Christmas—marking the end of the busy shopping season. Just then a man entered, distraught, and engaged Buss clumsily. Next, spontaneously, he exploded in tears. With a large family, he couldn’t afford presents for his kids. Disabled and.....…
The perspective of this podcast series is this. The way in which the economy behaves—changes. However, the way ideologues think it ought to behave, stagnates and ossifies. Consequently, doctrinal tweaks are necessary, occasionally, to realign dysfunctional thinking with the way in which the world actually works. Unbridled doctrinaire thinking on the ideological right, especially, has […]…
In feudal society, the community common was public space shared by all. Consequently, if a serf allowed his cow to graze on the commons’ lush grasses, his self-interest would be enhanced, but at the expense of his neighbors’ well-being. That is, if every serf turned his cow loose after dark to graze the common, in ...…
Over 5300 Wells-Fargo employees lost their jobs even though no senior managers were fired. This isn’t cross-selling…this is fraud.
On Labor Day, let’s consider the Rodney Dangerfield theory of labor. Coined after the now-deceased comedian, this theory along with a winner-take-all perspective may explain why working folks “don’t get no respect” in the labor market.
Where along the bifurcated Red-Blue conservative-liberal political continuum does one place Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump? Is he a pragmatic purple?
This week we try to understand U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s response to a Muslim father’s Democratic Convention speech. How do underlying economic paradigms influence political events?
What is the future of American capitalism? Can it lie in consensus decision-making in public spaces about defining what is and what is not productive capital? We explore this through the provocative concept of relative capitalism – setting positive and negative incentives, connected to specific outcomes Americans wish to gain (or avoid).…
What does equine capital in a Grandpa farm have to do with Turing Pharmaceuticals and its bid to raise the price of a life-saving drug by 50 times? Exploring pseudo-capitalist acts and their economic consequences…
This week, we discuss the economics and ethics of hedge fund bets on life-saving medication. What’s wrong with companies like Turing Pharmaceuticals owning a tablet and jacking up its price over 50 times overnight?
