Free market theyve built to specialize and exchange its the opposite actually of exploitation its people freely entering into mutually advantageous relationships economic relationships from which they get societies where that was allowed to happen very very rarely did that happen until until recently flourished but most people who ever lived were poor precisely because the parasitic elites at the apex of society prevented the free market from coming into play some readers might be surprised that you had tacked the jacobins and at the same time many would see it is the real exponential progress economic progress is made up of the english and french revolution well i argue in the book that actually the french revolution is a disaster of Human History for Human Progress this is temptation you were marionettes the parasitical you know it was not a talk mantra net was representative of one crash it parses you can eat. But the people who took over would just as bad when it came to telling people how to live their lives and its no coincidence that france for most of the previous 1000 years had been the economic superpower in europe since the french revolution of the previous 10200 years will say france has become an economical state run its often argued by historians that modernity and Human Progress is a consequence of what they call the enlightenment the 18th century like mint. Just some truth in that but the enlightenment a bit like mint also gives rise to what you might call rationalism and you see this particularly in france and in russia the homes of the 2 most dramatic revolution are peoples far from actually delivering Human Progress the revolution in france and the revolution in russia actually arrest Human Progress catastrophic to see sure Winston Churchill would be saying he needed the industrialization and after the Russian Revolution to win will would be against the nazis imagine if instead of replacing the russian parasitic czarist regime with bolsheviks they had replaced it with a constitutional system of government then i think you would have seen russia take off and take off and have a far less bloody 20th century history if it had military well there was really endeared china because china of course of the more violent revolution than the indian revolution of india independence revolution well since its very interesting if you look at those 2 great asian powers china and india when they simply exchanged outside parasitic elites for their own homegrown centralizes they didnt take off its only really since the 1980 s. In china and the 1990 s. In india when they liberalized internally and stopped trying to have their own politicians and bureaucrats run their societies from the top down that theyve started to take off arguably the reason its taken off so much better in china than india is the structures that were built way mao when you talk about the great progress because this book is not about this is not a pessimistic book. Very obvious very optimistic is very optimistic but surely most of the Human Progress thats been made realize it was just 6 of the based on communist china it doesnt really action no it doesnt say that. Was a very bad thing in terms of trying to taking off china throughout its foreign parasites in the 1940 s. Then made a series of catastrophic blunders in the fiftys in the sixtys in the seventys under mao who tried to organize trying to buy top bankers like its only in 198879. 00 often when trying to stop trying to run china from the center thats when china takes off its no coincidence that the great economic Success Stories of our time the United States with its sublime constitution that disperses power between states china since 1980 these these are taking off as great economic Success Stories great blocks because theyve begun to decentralize economically the one part of the planet that has started to centralize economic Decision Making of the past 30 or 40 years is the one part of the World Economy that is doing relatively badly and that is the European Union and thats why a majority of people in britain voted for break but surely when you talk about the United States we think of the constitution you call it supply we know thomas paine when it comes to russia and china and india hugely influenced and there are independent struggles by karl marx you just mentioned the European Union tony Benn Jeremy Corbyn these are characters that forwards the centralization of europe and regionalization what is the difference here between what the history difference is in this book and Say Something that Jeremy Corbyn might come up with i think maybe superficially a look a lot of the analysis in common take someone like Thomas Piketty thomas because he is has written the french economist has written about how at the moment we see what he regards as inevitable emergence of you an economic oligarchy but where. Picotee and coburn and co would argue that what you need is state feared state intervention to disperse power i would argue that in the past when you try to attack on a donkey with a form of redistributive populism you actually end up playing straight into the hands of the emerging oligarchy corporate is no he had to develop over the way i think that will blairite that goal with his of course its a long time as youve been on this show and that was before the vote. What do you think about the fact that so many in media in this country so which people would call elites believe it wasnt the people of this country of the voted for breaks it was the russians that when it related to vote and this is a serious accusation made by Award Winning journalists. I think part of the problem here is that detachment between the professional opinion formers in this country the commentary of the people who write columns for a newspaper some are some of them are very good but a lot of them are completely detached from the rest the country and so they cant quite believe that a majority a 1000000 Strong Majority would vote for something that they regard as a complete anathema to their worldview and so many of them are not just offended by the decision of this country to your opinion they they they need to try to explain it to rationalize it away so they look for some sort of external force to blame they might blame a foreign power they might claim that they believe somehow chichi i think the truth is that theyve got psychological problems of their own in coming to terms with the fact that they and not actually in touch with a country about which they are pine and theyre not really that representative of mainstream britain now one key passage in the book is about the Gold Standard the nixon shock as you call it what would happen to a politician today if they well rex it is one thing if they argue against these supranational institutions against fractional banking basel the go leverage is for banks let alone the i. M. F. The European Union and these big organizations that come under fire in your book im all in favor of Super National corporation but what we need to do is return to the principle that governments that we elect to run our nation states are accountable to the voters within those nation states and anything that theyve done to try to avoid that democratic accountability through the ballot box and through the reps the link between taxation and. Plantation we need to restore it i suspect that actually if you did this right if you went into a general election either as a center left candidate or a center right candidate and argue that its time to not just take on the banks but actually take a central bank i suspect you would have middle britain sharing with you now see i think many people recognize that as nothing to do it centrism its more to do with the with the kind of politics we now have in this country whether it be corbin whether it be the right of the conservative but do you think any of the candidates understand the principles of your book as to how britain can have a successful and prosperous future i think they do i think they all appreciate that once weve left the European Union the success of this country in terms of increasing output in the next generation the generation before that depend on north only managing while our relations with the e. U. Once weve laughed but actually opening ourselves up to the world we we we see every year tens of millions of middle class people joining the Global Economy in china and india in indonesia in asia even now in Subsaharan Africa whether or not our children have a higher sound of living than we do depends on our ability to trade and engage with them its good to have good relations with europe too but theres a bigger world out there that was gods will thank you after the break the militarization of britains postcrash Education System with these british children grow up to 5 illegal wars as britain this week announces the deployment of Royal Marines persian gulf for a possible the american war with iraq british m. P. s chair and to teresa mayes legacy as the frontrunner to replace Boris Johnson is branded a racist and a liar a Prime Ministers questions bill the simple coming up to him going underground. Live. And very well mark until youre watching us in such. What is it calling to coin as magic and the new type of Digital Currency essential lies digital scarcity chancellor. Of 2nd for bankers call the genesis blog for reason to coin a civil disobedience a source of optimism because i can control my own financial destiny its just a new way of coming to consensus its a game changer in the Human History this is columbus discovering the new world this Paradigm Shifting Technology that transforms economics and finance in a heartbeat the apollo 11 landing. To the max and stacey. Why a paradise with some ground and into a ground experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants theres no question otherwise why would the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of Environmental Research going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with it because the people have less political power. Welcome back is the slate clean for those who will replace drazen is u. K. Prime minister because some journalists a beautiful gotten. That those those seeking the top job all supported tourism as alleged cruelty to britains most vulnerable years jerry corbin shadow housing minister referencing the man to raise a major has to be her chief of staff accused of ignoring warnings about britains worst post world war 2 tower blocks 3 successive ministers were written to over a total of 21. 00 times over 4 years by the all party group on fire safety urging them to act to make sure we have void another fire following the lack of house fire the last of those 21 let is was written a month before the grand full tower fire and no action was taken what does the Prime Minister believe those ministers should have done when they received that expect advice but for tourism a inquiry run by a judge previously overruled by the Supreme Court over alleged social cleansing is arguably kick the whole issue into the long grass the whole question of what has happened in the advice that was available is a matter that will be looked at in the 2nd phase of the Public Inquiry and as for the dangers right now u. K. Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn question may on mitigating any imminent further instance of alleged corporate manslaughter of the relative poor the 2013 coroners report into the deadly like no house fire recommended sprinklers should be retrofitted to all social housing currently only 32 out of 837 Council Tower blocks above 30 metres have sprinklers 2 years after grenfell 6 years after the coroners report will show the Prime Minister now accept the recommendation and set a deadline for all high rise blocks to have sprinklers retrofitted tourism a said he got his facts wrong i think he has inadvertently said something that doesnt quite reflect what the coroners report said what the coroners report said was that landlords should consider. Putting in retrofitting sprinklers it did not say that every building should be retrofitted so no mandatory sprinklers will be one legacy of resume what about another which was supported by those seeking to replace at the end of her career. The Prime Minister take time to reflect that her creation of the his austin environment led to the windrush scandal to a catalogue of errors in immigration decisions to people feeling unsafe in their own homes to an atmosphere of distrust and suspicion and to xenophobia which is damaged our relations with our european neighbors gerri willis she apologized to resume appeared to blame not herself but a combination of a labor leader defeated Winston Churchill and the revolutionary Liberation Movement which won independence from brutal British Colonial tyranny what may be behind the issue in relation to the problems that some members of the interest generation have faced was the fact that when they came into the u. K. They were not given documentary evidence of their immigration status and their countries going to gain independence they were not given that documentary evidence of their status this weeks hugo of poll claims that tories are choose the next u. K. Pm or arguably less colonial they dont mind giving up ulster and scotland if it stops Jeremy Corbyn but if the leader of the scots nationalist in westminster is to be believed the frontrunner johnson might eject scotland from the u. K. For Different Reasons does the Prime Minister agree with the frontrunner set to succeed her that the scottish people out of their ministries that should be pleased to get to was and exterminated tourism may seem not to agree with the sentiments published in a right wing magazine once edited by Boris Johnson but it is of course scotland where britain decided its Nuclear Weapons and in a week when reports emerged of a possible u. S. Air strike on irans Civil Nuclear program some last. What would people think of beijing in moscow struck in the fast lane Submarine Base north of glasgow theres certainly no doubt that london is more in line with washington than any other capital perhaps a bottle of eve of the tensions in the persian gulf so who will fight another middle east war and who will britain recruit for a future us war as war school a new film exposes British Government recruitment tactics targeting children as young as 7 its director mick dixon joins me now to make welcome to going underground tell me about the film how it suggested by stealth the government is militarizing britains youth and thats 7 to 11 year old something to think about i suppose now there are reports the jobs are going to the persian gulf again but its interesting you say by stealth isnt really stealth its in the open they have these plans to have a coherent strategy for encouraging people to support the military in this country is all theyre so open about it comes across in a way that looks as though its benign it looks as there is just fun and games but its calculated from what i can say to encourage no other than really the country to support the military when they do do things like take on the wrong for whatever reason but now to encourage Young Children ever Young Children to be supportive of the military and to be proved in the military as to why this is 7 to 11 year olds i mean the un committee on the rights of the child say that vulnerable groups of children and so on should not be targeted and yet youre talking about presumed youre referring that is using gauge when review 2011 taking place shortly after the financial crisis and the bailouts of the banks to get Vulnerable Children. I dont think you can say that their top say theyre targeting Vulnerable Children however forces what you. A number of reports recently and one of them says actually there is a quota resets were looking at households which have an income of less than 10010000 the last year so thats the way i phrase it its clear thats what they do is ive always done it so 11000. 00 School Visits is a statistic used in the film and in fact david tory leadership candidate. Pops up michael gove be a systems which the had to factor u. K. Subsidised britain. They seem very proud of running education road shows 213000 young people have seen mergers they have 845 Brand Ambassadors or and bass just teaching this stuff they say theyre there to inspire the next generation of engineers its not about. 7 year olds with ideas of going to the persian gulf to fight war i think that would be great i think it would be wonderful if those resources continue to be put into creating the next gen generation of engineers but creating them to do things that are positive for our country and world can i say this and this is the figures that coming out went to a meeting with. And pay on the issue around yemen and they put it in if i can say this stopped the exports of goods from this country total is 500000000000. 00 pounds per year of that 20000000000. 00 and the manufacturing 20000000000 is. Ok so thats a 5th of a 5th if you want to work out the stats but that 2xb6b is what were selling to ourselves. So its funded by us. Is not essential for our economy its a myth now 100 new cadet units are being set up a target of 310 by 2020 and yet some of these m. P. s are against the military covenant they voted against to strengthen the military government did you find that they teach all this new military those the as you cover in the film the increased vulnerability to p. T. S. D. Alcohol abuse suicide posed by particular child requests because unlike many countries in the world we still we still train children to be soldiers so theres 2 questions in the complicated but the 1st one is the military couple so theres nothing wrong with the military covenant in the terms in which its written. The military covenant sets out to tell troops and their families and members of the armed forces that we support you we care about you so the military covenant. One level. Actually says promises to support troops in housing and welfare and all sorts of other things ironically on the other side of this the military or the whoever organizes the budgets for things a pushing all of welfare for troops. To the charity side and the charities then feeding off all of the. Issues that you see in these images here affects the p. T. S. P. T. S. D. Can have a soldiers so the charities a building an enormous industry feeding on the issues the problems the really extreme effects of war on al a true these pictures from comic books that you that are being produced. Tell me a bit about you know. From the very outset of making this film as an independent producer of a kind of. Unknown mainstream film i knew it would be very difficult to distribute it so all along i thought of different ways that we can use it use the film and the things weve learned through it to engage with the public and children in particular so what were doing now with the support of quakers britains yearly meeting and funding is producing a comic book stroke graphic novel version of one thread of the film which will then be incorporated with i learning results with the interactive materials and just as far as you know right now i mean its a figure like 12000. 00 veterans sleeping rough in britain that that kind of statistic is not going to be part of the teaching materials as soldiers go into britains schools to interested interested in the things which is going to britains goes to. Become for youre going to get p. T. S. D. Or your legs blown off when you join up with us theyre all rolled into tears but this is another thing that seriously shocked me and thats. When i discovered that that figure of 11000 military visits to. Schools yearly from forces while i was working with quite because and forces watching veterans for peace and these are organizations that are putting in an enormous effort to help educate people as to the realities. So this was quite good i asked them how many visits do you get. Quakers who have a very Small Department but its working very hard to manage to do about 6 or 10 visitors. 10 the number of the visit was not up to 6 or 10 the number of visits the veterans for peace managed to make to schools in the time that ive been with them is one hand counting hands counting if that and. This is what were up against at a time when we are having break hillary pulls from the main news media which is so its no secret that children are having to find food in being outside schools at a time when teacher is having to fund their School Resources then selves at a time when that the un making reports on Human Rights Violations in schools in education with Young Children this government all these governments since 2008 been able to find 100000000 pounds to promote military ethos in schools ok these are no kind of random figures this is true thats where the money is going why and because its all just about school you do mention video games and the singer joss stone who was criticized for her rendition of a song we now know from the cia and pentagon theyve been involved in hollywood films and in changing plot lines but what about the popular cultural propagandizing of major nations rose up until say the falklands and beyond the falklands said definitely the 1st gulf war up until then the way that the military. Actually integrated all parts of society was understood and respected and we kind of did. Recognize and Work Together with whatever they got things going on that were questionable but it wasnt like a publicist tea business or you know a p. R. Company engaged to think of ways to circumvent opposition to the humanity the reality for all courses and now it is its calculated its a calculated of again this gets a bit political but part of the kind of neo liberal push towards a corporate takeover of our society make dixon thank you and thats it for the show will be back on monday with child homelessness having surged by 80 percent under the concept its 2011 housing is a human right with the un rubble torn adequate housing at the start of the 41st session of the Un Human Rights Council and even touch my social media. Some time old shows were like a honeypot everyone believe that it was all on stable and on the reliable and russia but they thought that everyone was great over there russian businessmen wanted to do business in the west because they feared some could take everything away from them in russia its now its the opposite dave business is outside of russia was snatched ballesteros frozen all blogs now the student whine about.
