My daughter in New York Whatsapped that a young woman in the bar quipped last night that she was going to get fitted for her handmaid gown. This was before the result became clear. I wonder if she's joking now.
The simple answer in the UK is we don't need parties divided along right/left politics, we need a party that divides along a north/soth east axis. If you want to improve the lives of the vast majority of citizens in the UK we need a more even distribution of wealth away from London and the south east. This is the main reason for the deterioration of the majority of the country. Also, by the north I mean everywhere in the realm that isn't in the south east. Do this, and you'll be in power for a very long time.
The problem is we no longer have parties that are divided by left and right, all they have to offer are slightly different versions of the same centrist neoliberal project. We need more left and right division and vision and less of this dismal, failed centrist politics.

Glasgow - shipbuilding (gone to China/Taiwan unless it can get scots ferries sorted) Newcastle no chance to do anything much, Leeds had fin servs but they went in the financial crashes Bradford post wool wealth is stuck up a dark cold moorland hill, as is most of Manchester ( tech university might save it). Basically the geography means infrastructure is expensive so difficult to get investments unless you want housing all the way from Penistone to sheffield doncaster and mansfield
Thanks for the mutual concern for us in the US. Perhaps good can come from this, but my fear is that it’s going to be open season for the Uber wealthy to have their way. It’s funny, because the right was always afraid of “the one world order, “ They assumed that had to mean a governmental entity, as opposed to the much more fearful coalition of like minded mega wealthy who have already shown they know how to win and subjugate
I agree with you completely Richard, but I dont see that alternative coming in the form of the UK Labour party or the democrats. They are too much part of the system and in the pockets of those who they serve. We need something VASTLY different.
He would have beat Trump in 2016, had it not been for the DNC rigging the primary against him. Now they sit with two lost elections with their Ivory Tower candidate. When will they realize, they need someone that speaks to the people. Thought for sure Kamala was going to win though. Unfortunately, 10 million+ democrats, from 2020, decided to sit home, and over 100 million didn't even bother to vote.

2:20 Your answer to “Why did it happen” is too gracious. It ignores the fact that the voters themselves must be responsible for their actions - i.e the third factor is the stupidity of those voters. There is no kinder way to say it and we shouldn’t tip toe around it. The popular quote attributed to Einstein is relevant here - “Two things are infinite…” 😉. These people are a danger to us all.
I think the lying leaders who time and te again promise to fix the economy etc and continue to not do it are responsible for peoples desperation. Desperate people are such easy prey for malignant manipulators like Trump. American leadership from Regan onwards has been awful as they have given the super wealthy almost everything and done almost nothing to improve the lives of ordinary citizens. It has been a disaster and has now just got a whole lot worse. Why do you allow leaders off the hook so easily?
And they are going to pay it too January they are going to be complaining Trump I don't want to hear their complaining when Trump do everything he says he going to do then they are going to turn around complain when everything goes sky high I don't want to hear because it going to be to late
Not all stupid, there are stupid on both sides, but definitely undereducated deliberately so in Republican states, plus social media it’s toxic Trump, Musk etc would be nobodies without it.
Silver lining, he can't run for a third term. (And before any simpletons suggest he can change the constitution, that isn't an easy task and would require ratification by three quarters of the states, as well as House approval.)
He will pack those institutions with his crony friends. He is already a fantastic hate preacher which is essential to keep a nation divided so that they harm eachother and not those with extreme wealth and power who benefit financially from all the hate and chaos. Meanwhile nothing gets done to help citizens or improve the country. It's just a modern version of 'divide and conquer'.
Trump doesn't need to run again. A few payments under the table from his billionaire backers & he will happily sit back & wait to retire. Vance is the one who will actually run the country, and he wants a Theocracy.
If people keep constantly hating on Labour then this is what we'll have here in a couple of years too. This crap is already knocking on our door. On another note Musk being brought into this is terrifying.

You're absolutely right but many ppl who would never hv voted for him chose to do so bcos they chose the lesser of 2 evils. I think you're not talking abt the ekephant in the room and that's the genocide in Gaza. They probably should mot trust Trump on stopping that genocide but they're desperate and willing to try anything. At the very least acknowledge the elephant in the room instead of bypassing the issue completely.
Richard, lay off watching the MSM, it would seem you are parroting all their propaganda, a campaign that clearly failed. It seems to have brought on a severe case of TDS. Unsubscribed.
Trump is a symptom of a country where large numbers are desperate for something to be done. Many do see uncontrolled immigration a big issue, they also have often to work doing 2 jobs one after the other at the equivalent of £6 per hour. People seek happiness and the political system offers little hope, Trump does. It really is nearly as bad here and those in charge and doing the commentating often are those whose lifestyles deprive them of a realistic perspective. You are right the answer has to be left of centre but that does not mean appeasing those that need to be told where the line is. In short we need to have a total rethink of what values we want our society to have in terms of what gives enough material comfort without enticing such inequality. I fear the 'left' may be just as lost in the fog as the 'right' on tacking this issue. Social media and the media generally has to be controlled we must find those with moral virtue to set new parameters as many within our society are damaged goods.
I am exceedingly fond of your economic lectures. They are informative, interesting and thought provoking. However, Richard mate please keep off international politics and climate change as some of your thoughts are a bit eccentric. "The Labour Party centre-right ??" for example . Cheers.
The Labour Party has moved far to the right from where it was even under Blair. Calling it centre-right simply reflects the shift that both Tories and Labour have made to the right.
Deporting illegal immigrants is fascist? Is this a kind of illegal that has no penalty? Are there other types of illegal without penalty that I should know about?
I have always considered myself to be centre right, but voted Lib Dem in the last election, which I would say is just left of centre. I certainly wouldn't in a million years consider this Labour government as centre right! They stand for everything I hate, that doesn't work. They are clearly much closer to far left than even centre left. I like a lot of Richards ideas and I am also a fan of the ideas of Steve Keen (how banks work, private debt a bigger problem than public debt etc). However, not sure I can stomach becoming left of "Kier Starlin Starmer".
The original use of "left & right" denoted where courtiers sat relative to the French king (yes, before the Revolution), those on the King's left represented the people & those on his right represented commerce. The terms haven't changed much, merely gained nuance. Starmer sits to the right.
All this nasty name calling certainty didn't deter voters from democratically electing a Fascist. So where do we go from here? They obviously aren't listening to you.
I’ve agreed with your previous videos, and they are all greatly thought about and presented, but not this one. Trump is an eccentric, but he has better policies than the democrats. California and Oregon prove that.
Clement Attlee probably provide the only systainable model of what UK as an island berefit of resources can achieve. Uk not have the bountiful wealth of Australua or Canada...anything else means debt to sustain sicial services.
build up Euro monetary sovereignty more seriously .. build capacity to do the things we need, also to become less dependent on US. Leverage the fact that US and Trump are also dependent on us for certain things.
What even the advocates of MMT do not realize is that the problem at the core the economy is the present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money which is Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a monopoly paradigm. The last monopoly paradigm we had to deal with was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Scraments ONLY and The Reformation was the result. We need a new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting for an economic Reformation.
Fascism. According to Mussolini is when "Everything (exists) within the state, nothing (exists) outside the state and nothing (exists) against the state." Term 'Fascism' because of "fasci di combattimento" from early 20's. Literally militarised unions of former combatant of Grate War. Mussolini never liked that word and always argue with wester journalists. It didn't reflect, in his mind, the true nature of his movement. He preferred the word 'corporationist' but 'fascist' sticked anyway. So calling Trump fascist is odd. Kamala and Democrats on the other hands. The want US Government to control everything and everyone. At least we agree that Trump won't change much. Regime will never allow him to do it.
We've passed well beyond the point of voting effectiveness. We're now in the realm of inevitability. What will be, will be. Have u seen Spain as of late? ⏰
Is it possible that things need to get really bad before people start to want something better. Think 1930's levels economic dysfunction which motivated the creation of the Welfare State as a counter action across the world in multiple countries.
I watched this video of 2 American retirees who are homeless yesterday, Neoliberalism hasn’t done these people any favours. ruclips.net/video/QPtu3hnfpBI/видео.htmlsi=Ob6pZXJeD7Da4mUm I know change is scary but in the Chinese pictograms the word for crisis is made up of 2 pictograms one is danger and the other opportunity, the point being that Neoliberalism has failed, the people want change so they have gambled on the person who represents change.
Isn't it a fact that the US government is structured very differently to the UK with the States having responsibility for enacting more local policies? Isn't it also a fact that many govt departments across the world, including those in the US and UK, are bloated, creating huge inefficiencies and waste? Isn't it time something was done about this? Their migration problem is not what it seems. There's been a concerted effort to encourage the flood of people across the border. To what end? It can only be to destabilise the country and cause division. America has been broken for some time and real change is needed. Big Pharma, Big Agri, and the military-industrial complex need to have their influence curtailed. No one - other than Trump - backed by Robert F Kennedy Jnr, has even been talking about this, let alone discussing how to tackle it. What other alternatives were open to voters looking for meaningful change?
The huge banks and corporations are bloated too and many are carrying huge amounts of debt. Nobody talks about corporate debt. Some of the huge companies received massive amounts of subsidies (welfare for corporations) as they're unable to function without heaps of taxpayer money. The 'private sector is more efficient' is just another lie like the 'trickle down economy ' where the super wealthy were supposedly going to invest in the country and ordinary citizens would become more wealthy. Instead they moved their production facilities to China and gave the USA the 'rust belt'. Now China's got a rising middle class and lifted millions out of poverty. Our so called leaders have allowed increasing poverty and precarity to rise while a tiny percentage of multi billionaires take all the money and are buying up as much of the world's natural resources as they possibly can.
We can’t accept “the economy” as external to 9 of 10 people…? (Neoclassical) economics has become a social & legal construct, instead of a dynamic understanding of our holistic ecology - within which our “economy” is a force wielded by too few. Our economy is obviously much more than “individuals being rational in competitive markets”. Adam Smith’s hopes for humanity haven’t aged well since the dawn of modernity. Try imagining economy within ecology, the complexity in which we exist. What kind of economic relations emerge, what values and transactions are fundamental, needed, useful and possible? We CAN create meaningful relations and value exchanges within that scope. However, not through the structures of modernistic “progress”. It’s not progressive outside of spreadsheets… 🍀

I don’t care for either party but at least tell the full story - like I thought you would… but clearly you’ve got the syndrome too.
And who is going to do that Richard, who is going to be able to be powerful enough to represent the left of Centre who we’ve got two main parties in this country and it doesn’t matter the little man on the street think about it labour got it what does smallest majority when they lost four in 2019 the Conservatives will get back again in 2030 we won’t have the greens because people are sheep.

All thanks to Maria Luisa Clare
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.

Canada & Mexico could make a fortune with medical tourism, delivering services much cheaper than the US does. All Western countries could benefit from those who will want to leave, if Project 2025 is implemented.
Project 2025 will ban women from travelling to get safer medical care if there's a whiff of abortion or family planning.
Then why are Canadians travelling to the US to pay for medical treatment that's free at home?
Would you like a hint?
I already know of a UK citizen who's had to travel for treatment in Canada. Treatment that's not available privately in the UK, or on the NHS.
@@heliumcalcium396yes I'd appreciate a hint.
I've commented elsewhere here about a UK citizen going to Canada for treatment not available here.
The UK on its own is about 3% of world GDP. The US is 20%. Our only way to influence how things run is to be member of the EU which has the economic clout to stand up to the USA .
But how do we convince them that we can be trusted, when they can see what our hostile print media is screaming.
The EUs share of world GDP is forecast to fall perpetually. Why would any sane country choose to be dragged down with it.
The EU is on its last legs now thanks to the USA who knew what you said long ago.
And yet they just totally caved to USA, who blew up Germany's energy infrastructure and de-industrialized the engine of EU almost over night. And Germany said, thank you very much, sir. Then US poached the collapsing factories and moved them to US where there is energy!😳 EU are inept, treasonous minions and imperial boot lickers

We need to sort out inequality in the UK. We also need new leadership. Young people need to be involved in Politics.

This is the march of corporate power leading our lives, is this what we want? Less autonomy, living on the breadline, the only comfort is blaming foreigners? Wake up Britain, we are being used and abused. Let’s put a stop to this. Make an effort to get involved and speak up, while we still can.

Well he did say he can stop all the wars when he gets in the White House so we will see what he can do
He will continue the forever wars as they are so profitable for the weapons makers.
One thing he will do is let Putin take Ukraine. That will end that war.
The simple answer in the UK is we don't need parties divided along right/left politics, we need a party that divides along a north/soth east axis. If you want to improve the lives of the vast majority of citizens in the UK we need a more even distribution of wealth away from London and the south east. This is the main reason for the deterioration of the majority of the country. Also, by the north I mean everywhere in the realm that isn't in the south east. Do this, and you'll be in power for a very long time.
Obviously why our northern ninnies voted Brexit (and BoJo) then! 😏
But I agree: we need to do something to cater for all regions.
The problem is we no longer have parties that are divided by left and right, all they have to offer are slightly different versions of the same centrist neoliberal project. We need more left and right division and vision and less of this dismal, failed centrist politics.
@ianbanks3016 💯
unlikely, after Birmingham you have Liverpool - that was dependendent on Atlantic sea trade. Glasgow - shipbuilding (gone to China/Taiwan unless it can get scots ferries sorted) Newcastle no chance to do anything much, Leeds had fin servs but they went in the financial crashes Bradford post wool wealth is stuck up a dark cold moorland hill, as is most of Manchester ( tech university might save it). Basically the geography means infrastructure is expensive so difficult to get investments unless you want housing all the way from Penistone to sheffield doncaster and mansfield
London is one of the most corrupt capitals in the world. You have the untouchable City of London to thank for that.
Thanks for the mutual concern for us in the US. Perhaps good can come from this, but my fear is that it’s going to be open season for the Uber wealthy to have their way. It’s funny, because the right was always afraid of “the one world order, “
They assumed that had to mean a governmental entity, as opposed to the much more fearful coalition of like minded mega wealthy who have already shown they know how to win and subjugate

2:20 Your answer to “Why did it happen” is too gracious. It ignores the fact that the voters themselves must be responsible for their actions - i.e the third factor is the stupidity of those voters. There is no kinder way to say it and we shouldn’t tip toe around it. The popular quote attributed to Einstein is relevant here - “Two things are infinite…” 😉. These people are a danger to us all.
I think the lying leaders who time and te again promise to fix the economy etc and continue to not do it are responsible for peoples desperation. Desperate people are such easy prey for malignant manipulators like Trump. American leadership from Regan onwards has been awful as they have given the super wealthy almost everything and done almost nothing to improve the lives of ordinary citizens. It has been a disaster and has now just got a whole lot worse. Why do you allow leaders off the hook so easily?
And they are going to pay it too January they are going to be complaining Trump I don't want to hear their complaining when Trump do everything he says he going to do then they are going to turn around complain when everything goes sky high I don't want to hear because it going to be to late
This liberal finger waving will achieve nothing. The billionaires own the media, and the media tells us what to do and what to believe in

Not all stupid, there are stupid on both sides, but definitely undereducated deliberately so in Republican states, plus social media it’s toxic Trump, Musk etc would be nobodies without it.
Silver lining, he can't run for a third term.
(And before any simpletons suggest he can change the constitution, that isn't an easy task and would require ratification by three quarters of the states, as well as House approval.)
Hitler rose to power in a democracy. It didn't stop him becoming a dictator and murdering millions of German citizens.
He will pack those institutions with his crony friends. He is already a fantastic hate preacher which is essential to keep a nation divided so that they harm eachother and not those with extreme wealth and power who benefit financially from all the hate and chaos. Meanwhile nothing gets done to help citizens or improve the country. It's just a modern version of 'divide and conquer'.
I would have said no way but I think our constitution is on its way out

@@ty194you really are an asshole
Trump is a symptom of a country where large numbers are desperate for something to be done. Many do see uncontrolled immigration a big issue, they also have often to work doing 2 jobs one after the other at the equivalent of £6 per hour. People seek happiness and the political system offers little hope, Trump does. It really is nearly as bad here and those in charge and doing the commentating often are those whose lifestyles deprive them of a realistic perspective. You are right the answer has to be left of centre but that does not mean appeasing those that need to be told where the line is. In short we need to have a total rethink of what values we want our society to have in terms of what gives enough material comfort without enticing such inequality. I fear the 'left' may be just as lost in the fog as the 'right' on tacking this issue. Social media and the media generally has to be controlled we must find those with moral virtue to set new parameters as many within our society are damaged goods.
Trump got lucky with the economic cycle last time around. Good chance there will be a recession during his second term.
Inherited a plus from Obama.
I am exceedingly fond of your economic lectures. They are informative, interesting and thought provoking. However, Richard mate please keep off international politics and climate change as some of your thoughts are a bit eccentric. "The Labour Party centre-right ??" for example . Cheers.
The Labour Party has moved far to the right from where it was even under Blair. Calling it centre-right simply reflects the shift that both Tories and Labour have made to the right.

I have always considered myself to be centre right, but voted Lib Dem in the last election, which I would say is just left of centre. I certainly wouldn't in a million years consider this Labour government as centre right! They stand for everything I hate, that doesn't work. They are clearly much closer to far left than even centre left. I like a lot of Richards ideas and I am also a fan of the ideas of Steve Keen (how banks work, private debt a bigger problem than public debt etc). However, not sure I can stomach becoming left of "Kier Starlin Starmer".
The original use of "left & right" denoted where courtiers sat relative to the French king (yes, before the Revolution), those on the King's left represented the people & those on his right represented commerce. The terms haven't changed much, merely gained nuance.
Starmer sits to the right.
All this nasty name calling certainty didn't deter voters from democratically electing a Fascist. So where do we go from here? They obviously aren't listening to you.
Maybe president Musk is Trump’s future?
No. Peter Thiel put Vance in to take over when Trump is forced to spend more time on his golf course.
We know what Trump wants to do.as he talks about it all the time. The question is, will he follow through?
Stick to economics .....
I’ve agreed with your previous videos, and they are all greatly thought about and presented, but not this one. Trump is an eccentric, but he has better policies than the democrats. California and Oregon prove that.
Clement Attlee probably provide the only systainable model of what UK as an island berefit of resources can achieve. Uk not have the bountiful wealth of Australua or Canada...anything else means debt to sustain sicial services.
build up Euro monetary sovereignty more seriously .. build capacity to do the things we need, also to become less dependent on US. Leverage the fact that US and Trump are also dependent on us for certain things.
What even the advocates of MMT do not realize is that the problem at the core the economy is the present monetary paradigm for the creation and distribution of new money which is Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates it as a monopoly paradigm. The last monopoly paradigm we had to deal with was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Scraments ONLY and The Reformation was the result. We need a new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting for an economic Reformation.

Fascism. According to Mussolini is when "Everything (exists) within the state, nothing (exists) outside the state and nothing (exists) against the state." Term 'Fascism' because of "fasci di combattimento" from early 20's. Literally militarised unions of former combatant of Grate War. Mussolini never liked that word and always argue with wester journalists. It didn't reflect, in his mind, the true nature of his movement. He preferred the word 'corporationist' but 'fascist' sticked anyway. So calling Trump fascist is odd. Kamala and Democrats on the other hands. The want US Government to control everything and everyone. At least we agree that Trump won't change much. Regime will never allow him to do it.
"In the way that people need it to work" - exactly
layman's guess:

Really, did quite well last time..hmmmm
Isn't it a fact that the US government is structured very differently to the UK with the States having responsibility for enacting more local policies? Isn't it also a fact that many govt departments across the world, including those in the US and UK, are bloated, creating huge inefficiencies and waste? Isn't it time something was done about this? Their migration problem is not what it seems. There's been a concerted effort to encourage the flood of people across the border. To what end? It can only be to destabilise the country and cause division. America has been broken for some time and real change is needed. Big Pharma, Big Agri, and the military-industrial complex need to have their influence curtailed. No one - other than Trump - backed by Robert F Kennedy Jnr, has even been talking about this, let alone discussing how to tackle it. What other alternatives were open to voters looking for meaningful change?
The huge banks and corporations are bloated too and many are carrying huge amounts of debt. Nobody talks about corporate debt. Some of the huge companies received massive amounts of subsidies (welfare for corporations) as they're unable to function without heaps of taxpayer money. The 'private sector is more efficient' is just another lie like the 'trickle down economy ' where the super wealthy were supposedly going to invest in the country and ordinary citizens would become more wealthy. Instead they moved their production facilities to China and gave the USA the 'rust belt'. Now China's got a rising middle class and lifted millions out of poverty. Our so called leaders have allowed increasing poverty and precarity to rise while a tiny percentage of multi billionaires take all the money and are buying up as much of the world's natural resources as they possibly can.
Once mema ain't gettin her SSI check anymore. Bubba's gonna blame Biden, not donny dump. 🙄
Very well put the factual issues
We can’t accept “the economy” as external to 9 of 10 people…?
(Neoclassical) economics has become a social & legal construct, instead of a dynamic understanding of our holistic ecology - within which our “economy” is a force wielded by too few.
Our economy is obviously much more than “individuals being rational in competitive markets”. Adam Smith’s hopes for humanity haven’t aged well since the dawn of modernity.
Try imagining economy within ecology, the complexity in which we exist. What kind of economic relations emerge, what values and transactions are fundamental, needed, useful and possible?
We CAN create meaningful relations and value exchanges within that scope. However, not through the structures of modernistic “progress”. It’s not progressive outside of spreadsheets… 🍀
