It would be worth looking into the COVID-19 era (2019-present) as a period of economic crisis not dissimilar to the 2008 "sub-prime mortgage crisis" and financial instrument (i.e. CDO) fraud. Whether you choose to view the COVID crisis as one emerging from a genuine viral outbreak, or one fabricated and opportunistically capitalized upon; the economic crisis associated with COVID-19 was caused by a unilateral transnational government policy concerning selective economic lockdown and human behaviour regulation, realizing a significant upward transfer of wealth in the form of quantitative easing much of which was used to expand the dominion of monopolies, leveraging on low-interest debt, and entrenching private ownership in the form of stock buy-backs. The COVID crisis has further served to redirect public funds into instruments (markets) of mass surveillance under the auspice of healthcare and security.
This was great. Is this lecture available as a paper somewhere?
much expounded upon in a book. The Dawn of Everything, by Graeber and Wengrow
Any Q&A available?
