The Philosophy for a Fair Society Revisited with Michael Hudson

In this episode of the Shepheard Walwyn Shepheard-Walwyn podcast series, host Jonathan Brown introduces a re-released interview with economist Michael Hudson, originally recorded in Spring 2022.

 

The discussion delves into Hudson’s unique journey into economics, from being the godson of Leon Trotsky to becoming a highly influential yet often overlooked figure in the field. Hudson shares his vast career experiences, including his work for prominent figures like David Rockefeller and his significant contributions through books such as 'Super Imperialism' Super Imperialism and 'A Philosophy for a Fair Society.' A Philosophy for a Fair Society.

The conversation highlights the shift from industrial to finance-based economics and Hudson’s efforts to advise governments on de-dollarisation strategies and economic pitfalls. His insights into the transition of economies from productive labor to rent extraction and financialization offer a deep critique of contemporary economic practices and the critical need for global economic reform to move towards a more balanced and just financial order, reflecting the central themes of Hudson's extensive body of work.
