Her lecture was sponsored by the Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J. Center for Religion, Ethics and Culture and the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at Holy Cross. Learn more at www.holycross.edu/mcfarlandcenter.
Wendy Brown is one of a very small handful of people who make watching CZcams videos worthwhile. Her Tanner Lectures are extremely well-argued and informative. This should be required watching for anyone who hopes to understand the nature our (anti-)human predicament.
Excellent lecture
Thank you
Masterful presentation!
The story on Irak is eerily similar to the one of Chile. And now look at what happened there with the consitution-imposed neoliberal system.
This why the church as an unregulated part of a Nation must be protected.
How convenient, this crucial information is being interrupted by who?? Video keeps stopping!!
Privatization is because the capitalist understands the development of business better than the left/liberals.
That is because they do see the big picture, classic capitalist endeavor as producing goods is on the same path as agricultural business. Agricultural business was maybe up to 75 % of the economy in the late 19th century, today it’s around 2 %. With goods production on a declining path of the economy capitalist have to turn otherwise to find profit. This declining opens up room for service sectors as entertainment etc, so have also entertainment, games, sport entertainment and so on had a tremendous growth. But capitalists realize that what people really appreciate and are prepared and must pay for is what have traditional been supplied by the public sector.
So they had to invent an ideology to facilitate the takeover of the public sector, and the economic ignorant left/liberals played along all the way as they were thrown some crumbs.
False. Yet another father-knows-best right wing extremist who believes everything he thinks. Boring, old, and wrong. No they did not see the big picture. Ian, how did you get to be so insightful? Where did you get your acumen? The Dollar Store???
