Michael Hudson is the MENTAT of economic. He provides the answer to the question "Why US spend so much on military?" So US can point a gun at the world and forced them to use the US currency.
I follow Professor Hudson in social media. He is not only brilliant but he explains the current economical and financial situation in simple words and for all audiences. THANK YOU!!!!
@Azhag Dark jus to remind you that you are rong on some points. Yes M. Hudson is Marxist economyst. But there is 2 different points that Marx made. 1 is that the Government should control all means of production and the 2 is that all banks should belong to the Government. Michael Hudson supports the 2 one. But not the 1 one. Hudson believes in the free market economy. So for Lenin. Lenin wose in the fantasy land the same as Marx on the Government to control all means of production. Because if Lenin was clever then the Soviet Union would have been the most successful economy in the world (1917. - 1990)But it was the Biggest failure and misery inposed on the people..
@TryllaTröllMaistre Fictitious Fables of Europa I don't think that Hudson is Politikal economyst he speaks the truth and how he believes things should be and that is great. There is others to like. Milton Friedman. and Dr Richard Wolf.. But the rest of the others don't even come close.. Excluding. Adam Smith.
@TryllaTröllMaistre Fictitious Fables of Europa Markets are destroyed by Government not by economyst like Hudson or Fredman or Richard Wolf. Fredman advocate the to end the Federal reserve system. Government in the USA and Europe and England are to blame not the free market. The Government are making rules and regulations to favour some companies. Milton Friedman was (because he died) for free market. its the Government who made monopoly or allow that to happen. Its long story but I em trying to be short. The Government put tariffs and so on. So we have markets but they are not all free. Majority of the population in eny countries don't understand Anything about economy or finance. That is why we are were we are.
@TryllaTröllMaistre Fictitious Fables of Europa you are right to a point don't forget that (you have said that you like high wages) how high the wages are depends on what you can buy with them not how much do you get. Example if you get 1 million dollars per year. But average house cost 900.000 thousand dollars. and you pay for food 20. 000 thousand dollars every month you see that you don't get much. On the other hand if someone in other country' gets only 20.000 dollars every year but his home it costs him only 2.000 dollars and he paid only 50 dollars every month for food he has more money than you. So high wages are not as you think that they are. and that was only examples. For tariffs I agree to extend that depends if the country has or didn't have mineral resources. Imagine if Germany put tariffs on still or copper (they don't have any in Germany its all in ports) then the price of cars and electricity will be 10 times higher. So everything depends from country to country. wages tariffs and exchange rate to. USA model is not the best its just because the dollar is (at the moment) World reserve currency. That is why in the US people (not all) enjoy better standard of life. But that will change with time..
I pray for continued success of Shanghai Corp - the only solution is to take the power from USA because THERE IS NO CHECKS AND BALANCES - people are sheeple oftentimes. Mind Control is a political tactic. Politicians get away with murder!
I'd say one of the most brilliant minds period! He always has the most accurate political critiques too, which are easy compared to his understanding of economics
It will be a disaster for all American the Lost Social Security, Medicare, Government Pension, Private Pension, Banking disaster, a Disaster for "All".
Wow! He answered my long held question of how the American Empire forces those who have commerce with it to pay for the cost of the protection of the trading routes. All empires extract reimbursement. I missed this for decades. Stunned. Thank You Professor Hudson.
To be listen twice rather than once and taking notes as Micheal Hudson makes his explanations very clear to all of us about what to understand about our world economics system and the demoniac role played by the US for the last 70 years. Thanks for this great contribution Mr Hudson, most appreciated and useful to the people at large.
47:51 that's where I see China's BELT and ROAD INITIATIVE coming in. Use excess US Dollars to build infrastructure for trade through Developing Countries. Once this is complete, All Trade utilizing BELT and ROAD will be Denominated in Chinese Yuan or Domestic National currencies and NOT US Dollar. China grows economically as Developing Economies grow and the threat of US Financial retaliation is minimized.
It will likely be denominated in the BRICS currency by the NDB, as several nations involved in B&R have applied for BRICS membership, including UAE, Egypt, Indonesia, or are members of BRICS already like Russia. That is not to say China may not end up taking the lion's share of that trade value, however.
Too bad china's demographics mean they will be less workers than retired not to mention not enough national supplies, food etc on their own. Famine will come, punished by US. Poor winnie the pooh😅
This is, probably, my #1 Hudson video. He very easily lays everything out in simple terms. Anyone can understand this information. Too bad enough ppl don’t hear it
Absolutely wonderful Dr. Hudson your historical summary of our current economic malaise. I've read J is for junk economic's and have seen many of your interviews. Thank you for your wonderful work!

It's possible that those connections insulate him to some degree, but more likely that he's just too high-level to worry the establishment. Americans are too ignorant of history and economics to even grasp threat he describes.
What Michael Hudson could not forsee in the 70s were 2 processes. The world population tripled. Those who hoarded paper $ also tripled. This, and the looting of the USSR postponed the debasement of the US currency, but placed parasitic finance at the center of the economic organism. Second, out of spite and fear against the USSR the US allowed one country after another to industrialize. First Germany and Italy, then Japan, then Taiwan and South Korea, then China. Now it's panicking about China, so a developmental policy is proceeding unhampered in Vietnam and India. Two more of the former victims will become gigantic producers! And the US will not be able to absorb even more goods, so Asians will sell among each other. The West will return to obscurity.

Reagan was the perfect idea con man to shift our public treasury away from the public benefit/interest to the for profit private benefit/interest (the private corporate military industrial complex and the corporate Wall Street profit benefit/interest. Reaganomics was the when the rails of our peoples government was switched to the corporate government. Where government treasury and government structure is shifted from the interests of the public to the profit interests of private industry profits at the expense of the public who is left holding the debt of the bilking of public treasury. Trickledown was the greatest economic con job ever pulled on the American public. Fooled to vote for a “folksy con man” that was a hired front man for the Wall Street corporate / military industrial profit interest. What President Eisenhower (a republican) warned America was the greatest danger to our democracy. His warning came true
It was all conspiracy theories before to me but this... is just straight up in your face facts!❤ How do Americans feel about all this and the possibility that all that printing might actually come back to haunt you all.. hyperinflation in US iss very much possible in the near future now
“Time” is not a one-dimensional phenomenon. In capitalism time is money. Money can tell time. Money can tell if the job you were assigned was completed. It is money that does all the talking in capitalism. What makes a diamond so valuable is time and time alone. Human labor cannot produce a diamond. Nature alone produces the ore. So it should be conceivable that the longer the time it takes to produce a product the more valuable it will be as no wine is fine without time. All other products share the same substance in varying amounts...if today’s harvest takes twice the time it took last year the more value it will contain the happier the capitalist farmer will be. Thinks of what this means... a drought interrupted and doubles the time it takes to grow the crop...this consequence makes the harvest more valuable to the farmers. Here’s another example; the longer it takes... and for as long as the equipment lasts a mining operation for gold and precious metals will be valued by how many weeks, days and hours was the extraction process going on for that metal. In a capitalist world it becomes profitable for humans to dig holes indefinitely on the earth’s surface because the longer they dig the more valuable the haul. This is strange behavior. The Egyptians, Romans, Inca, Maya, Aztec, Chinese, all spent their weeks, days, and hours building pyramids, monuments of stone, to an excess degree and we dig holes, bore, rinse dirt and leave poc marks on the Earth’s skin searching for precious metals because in money terms precious metals is an infinite stream of cash.
at about 29:00 Being an American veteran of two tours within Vietnam, and a witness to the unreal logistical system America achieved in the delivery of all manner of ordnance across Vietnam at all hours night and day, I must agree with his statement.

(But our possession by madness does not infer sanity to our opposition.)... added Jan 18, 2020.

The "Mechanics" of The U.S. going CBDC are normal. Decrease the Fiat, paper, dollar(tangible currency) Paper and CBDC in dual circulation would cause outrageous Inflation!

crypto tech bypasses the need for SWIFT and lessens the importance of depository institutes. There are poor people in this world that dont have a bank account but have a smartphone and can use WeChat pay, Alipay and cryptos to buy store and sell domestically export globally all without need access to banking.

It also holds the potential to not just break US currency hegemony but ALL currency hegemony. Its a big win that guarantees much more freedom for the small powers of the world.

WW1 started because Austria invaded Serbia and was being defeated, Germany then joined Austria, and it all kicked off from there. That is an unescapable fact that Herr Hudson seems not to understand.

Reagan was the perfect idea con man to shift our public treasury away from the public benefit/interest to the for profit private benefit/interest (the private corporate military industrial complex and the corporate Wall Street profit benefit/interest. Reaganomics was the when the rails of our peoples government was switched to the corporate government. Where government treasury and government structure is shifted from the interests of the public to the profit interests of private industry profits at the expense of the public who is left holding the debt of the bilking of public treasury.
Trickledown was the greatest economic con job ever pulled on the American public. Fooled to vote for a “folksy con man” that was a hired front man for the Wall Street corporate / military industrial profit interest. What President Eisenhower (a republican) warned America was the greatest danger to our democracy.
His warning came true
The truth the knowledge thx MH ❤️

It was all conspiracy theories before to me but this... is just straight up in your face facts!❤
How do Americans feel about all this and the possibility that all that printing might actually come back to haunt you all.. hyperinflation in US iss very much possible in the near future now
“Time” is not a one-dimensional phenomenon. In capitalism time is money.
Money can tell time. Money can tell if the job you were assigned was completed. It is money that does all the talking in capitalism.
What makes a diamond so valuable is time and time alone. Human labor cannot produce a diamond. Nature alone produces the ore.
So it should be conceivable that the longer the time it takes to produce a product the more valuable it will be as no wine is fine without time.
All other products share the same substance in varying amounts...if today’s harvest takes twice the time it took last year the more value it will contain the happier the capitalist farmer will be. Thinks of what this means... a drought interrupted and doubles the time it takes to grow the crop...this consequence makes the harvest more valuable to the farmers. Here’s another example; the longer it takes... and for as long as the equipment lasts a mining operation for gold and precious metals will be valued by how many weeks, days and hours was the extraction process going on for that metal. In a capitalist world it becomes profitable for humans to dig holes indefinitely on the earth’s surface because the longer they dig the more valuable the haul. This is strange behavior. The Egyptians, Romans, Inca, Maya, Aztec, Chinese, all spent their weeks, days, and hours building pyramids, monuments of stone, to an excess degree and we dig holes, bore, rinse dirt and leave poc marks on the Earth’s skin searching for precious metals because in money terms precious metals is an infinite stream of cash.
Great talk by Michael, very relevant discussion. Crazy that Biden is carrying on Trump's de dollarization project.
at about 29:00 Being an American veteran of two tours within Vietnam, and a witness to the unreal logistical system America achieved in the delivery of all manner of ordnance across Vietnam at all hours night and day, I must agree with his statement. The cost of the projection of force was justified to avoid committing another million American troops. We were Mad, as in the sense of insane. (But our possession by madness does not infer sanity to our opposition.)... added Jan 18, 2020. I meant that the justification for the immense cost of the projection of force was to avoid the commitment of an additional million or more American troops to Vietnam.
@@Jj-gi2uv No. Opposition referred to those political elements within IndoChina directing military force against us and the political elements aligned with us.

The work, my friends, is peace. More than an end of this war [WW2] -an end to the beginnings of all wars. Yes, an end, forever, to this impractical, unrealistic settlement of the differences between governments by the mass killing of peoples.
Today, as we move against the terrible scourge of war-as we go forward toward the greatest contribution that any generation of human beings can make in this world-the contribution of lasting peace, I ask you to keep up your faith. I measure the sound, solid achievement that can be made at this time by the straight-edge of your own confidence and your resolve. And to you, and to all Americans who dedicate themselves with us to the making of an abiding peace, I say:
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.
this guy is really smart...i would like to know his reaction now in 2022 when the so called de-dolarisation is on highspeed....already China-Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, started to rad ein their own currency..and more and mroe countrys started to join...Argentina i think entered the club 1 or 2 weeks ago and moslty of central asia countries as well...Vietnam Laosm Mianmar, all are in the club....i would like to see a EU country entering the club....when that ll hapend USA as world reserve. curency its on last 5 years of life

Does he mean "America had all the gold" or "people who called themselves American" had all the gold. Vietnam was about Land Reform according to David Mitchell.

Lynn Wood - Welcome to the inner sanctum !
@@thomasd2444 Indeed.. a pretty lonely place. Sometimes I wonder whether it's worth my enjoyment of life to learn all these dark truths.
@ I do.
The "Mechanics" of The U.S. going CBDC are normal. Decrease the Fiat, paper, dollar(tangible currency)
Paper and CBDC in dual circulation would cause outrageous Inflation!
Treasury's, such as I-Bonds have existed for decades!
Banks and Investment Houses have gone Digital!
The U.S. is in transition!
I mean an Economic practice is shifting from Fed. Wire in the 1970-1980s to another "system" and now it's going totally digital.
Hudson is the best - anyone know if the q&a section is posted somewhere? Seems unlikely but wanted to check
From my anti CCP comments on CZcams, I would never consider going to Hong Kong for fear of disappearing.

Today, the statistics are good. They reveal that 50 percent of the world’s wealth is in the hands of US-based corporations, even though the national account, GDP, is not anywhere near that.

IMF is a small office in the Pentagon basement? Could you please explain this? Not clear to me why Prof Hudson said that.
It was humor; it's not actually located in the Pentagon basement, but the way the IMF acts, it might as well be.
I misspoke not Soviet Union but Russia. Hope I didn't make any other I rely on the education and understanding of the reader

crypto tech bypasses the need for SWIFT and lessens the importance of depository institutes. There are poor people in this world that dont have a bank account but have a smartphone and can use WeChat pay, Alipay and cryptos to buy store and sell domestically export globally all without need access to banking. Also, countries being sanctioned by US hegemonic practices can bypass the need for USD and bypass the sanctions thus do trade with other nations. So yes, crypto tech (self accounting mechanism) is a big game changer.
It also holds the potential to not just break US currency hegemony but ALL currency hegemony. Its a big win that guarantees much more freedom for the small powers of the world.
@@TheThundercow banking the unbanked. putting money into the power of individuals and not banks.
Poor people do not run the world.
@@stephenvanwoert2447 due to the current structure. But with cryptotech and decentralized crypto it puts the power into the people. Also, the Chinas digital currency allows direct central bank to the people's wallets bypassing banking.

USA is like City of Qarth Game of Thrones
WW1 started because Austria invaded Serbia and was being defeated, Germany then joined Austria, and it all kicked off from there. That is an unescapable fact that Herr Hudson seems not to understand.
Is the "university" friendly with the Confucius Institute?
Quite the contrary - CUHK was originally founded with help from the CIA, but today it is an independent university with a diversity of views.
Dedollarization for dummies, or what?
I think I have to listen this one more time.

I respect the Dr but I think he's wrong about ww2. The Nazis were against Bolshevisome and socialism.
"Nazi" is a contraction for National Socialism.
