Play Now!
Let's remember Howie's 1958 holiday, the one that turned out to be “I Must Work More!” In this Episode 204, Our Howie Holidays… of Work, I explore just some of the forces that try to convince us to stop worrying, but to never, ever stop working.
In this episode, I read: Jacob Goldstein's comments made on the podcast You Are Not So Smart; and from Benjamin Hunnicutt's book Kellogg's Six-Hour Day. I played: a video from the Bank of England concerning broad money creation; and from a recording of Michael Hudson relaying key moments in his life (I wish I could remember where I got it!).
At the end, I also play an old audio montage about money creation, something I originally assembled in 2011, built of clips from early C-Realm Podcast episodes, and last heard on this show back on Episode 8: The Buck Starts Here. In order of vocal appearance, we find in the montage: C-Realm host KMO; John Michael Greer (from #262: Assume the Can is Open), Ellen H. Brown (from #102: A Vocabulary of Control); Thomas H. Greco (from #265: Legal Tender and the Credit Clearing Function); Dmitri Orlov and Richard Heinberg (from #266: A Black Hole of Debt); Charles Eisenstein (from #272: Emperor of What); and Doug Lain (who has not articulated the tidbit himself as far as I am aware, but I included his voice as well) (from #269: A Better Laugh Track). Ably backing those voices was Ga'an's "Servant Eye".
I open the show with Henry Giroux explaining how lies are perpetrated by the moneyed right, backed by KMFDM. I close with Julie & Rolf and the Campfire Gang.
Addendum: Listener and old friend Bleak Nemesis did a little digging and found the Michael Hudson interview I have. I followed Bleak's Stitchup link and found what seems to be a now-defunct show called Left Out. According to the link: "This autobiographical interview was conducted at Peking University on May 7, 2018 by Lau Kin Chi of the Global University for Sustainability."
I still don't know how it got on my computer, but now we know more!
