- In Episode 220 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Julius Krein, the editor of American Affairs, a quarterly journal of policy and political-economy that delves into the deeper sociopolitical, cultural, and economic issues facing America and other Western countries.
The episode is broken into two parts, the first hour of which focuses on issues of political-economy, policy, and market dynamics that have driven the American economy into a state of “proletarianization,” where its citizens are increasingly ruled by an oligarchy of global elites whose insatiable appetite for wealth and power is endangering the very systems of free-market capitalism and liberal democracy that this kakistocracy claims to uphold. It’s an outcome that Julius Klein would refer to as “capitalism without competence and feudalism without nobility.”
The second hour of today’s conversation is, unsurprisingly, the most satisfying insofar as Demetri and Julius tackle the socio-political and cultural dimensions and manifestations of the problems created by the perversions of what was earlier described as the “proletarianization” or conversion of the American economy and political system into a more corrupt, upwardly sclerotic, and extractive system of governance than anything experienced in America since at least the Gilded Age.

Introductions and Name dropping largely stops around 26:10, and then policy starts
70's FIAT instead of Gold. That was the change, propping up Financial sector....scam.
So, you were a small fish "Intelligent" around the establishment tentacles, trying to find the plant with talc powder somewhere in Afghanistan, all very "economic development".
From there you came back "home" to join hedge funds ... Now a "Public Intellectual" of neo-conservatism converted to admirer of Varoufakis... Well I guess there are several ways to grow cynical and "Maquiavelian".
Will keep the name in mind. Maybe State Secretary staffing in a future Administration!!!))))
Only one question exists from the world for usa citizens…. WHEN WILL YOU wake up?
