Professor Hudson, please take care of your health and Live Long. You are the source of inspiration for millions of people around the world.

Professor Michael Hudson used political and economic history to explain how US used foreign loans, and the use of the dollars to control /manipulate the global economy; and he also pointed it out the harms and dangers of relying on financial capitalism to generate wealth vs to the real wealth and prosperity generated from industrial capitalism and a mixed economy being engaged by China and other Asiatic countries. In short, I really fall in love of learning world economic from Professor Hudson after watching several of his public lectures through KZfaq.

Michael Hudson is a brillant historian as well as a talented economist.

Omniscient and altruistic Hudson ... a rare gem of a human

I never tire of learning from Professor Hudson. If anyone wants to learn the truth, here it is. It's like he's painting a picture. I'm in awe every time I listen to him.

11:06 "The basic principle of American foreign policy is 'no other country can tell us what to do'" - Prof Hudson This explains SO much. Thank you for posting!

A lot of respect for Michael Hudson. He has been in the game for perhaps longer than any other western economist and his command of the history and machinations of global economics is second to none.

Lovely to listen to some who really knows his subject and isn't afraid to speak the truth.

One of the few economists who really understand the Global World Economy.

I'm happy to have many pieces to a puzzle I've long been trying to solve offered by Mr. Hudson. A rather substantial offering, I might add. Thanks for the clarity.

Michael Hudson't interpretation of economic history should be common knowledge.

why isn't this taught to the children in the fool system? HOme school mothers, if you love your children and teach them Truth (this man is brilliant)

It is always fascinating listening to Michael Hudson

Looking forward to more interaction with Prof Michael Hudson. Incredible insights to financial system and world order ... a topic not often discussed and shared.

Thank you, Michael Hudson.

It has been a pleasure to watch Michael Hudson's talks. Economists are very often worthless hacks in analyzing the history of economics and also the current economic situation. Michael does both extremely well. (He's the third Michael that has influenced my thinking quite a lot 😂 with Michael Parenti and Michael Brooks)

An absolute tour de force. Michael Hudson has the kind of understanding of economic history, nation state strategy and the inside workings of capitalism that few others have. His ability to articulate that knowledge is astounding. I fully agree with him on the failures of the Obama administration and his low expectations of the Biden administration when he says “They found that as long as you can have identity politics front and centre, you can do whatever you want economically to crush the people that you pretend to be representing in identity politics” And I would add that that worked for Trump, who’s working class supporters thought they would be liberated by him.

I've listened to many voices on the economy and Michael Hudson is one of .favorites thank you.

I think mr Hudson IS the economist of our time. I search for his podcasts,by far the smartest econist.

Damn this was a brilliant talk, Hudson does a great job of summarizing and interpreting all of these complex historical transformations.

When it comes to making sense of geo-economics Michael Hudson is breath of fresh air

Why doesn't this have at least 1 million views?

Hudson's concise encapsulation of the world's economic history from the first World War into the 21st Century is a must see for anyone who wishes to understand today's geopolitics. No one else has done this better, with the probable exceptions of Chomsky and Wolff.

Amazing insight about one price for commodities, but many for labour.

Thank you for this oxford economics society

Well worth listening to. I learned a lot. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this educational video. I learned so much here. Professor Hudson is brilliant.

Professor Hudson... 🙏💕..... India.. Indian people.. Government Needs your.. Inspiration...

"Gold is actually a 'peaceful' commodity. When or if countries would have to make up their balance-of-payments in Gold, then they wouldn't be able or willing to afford to go to war. ....This is why the U.S. didn't go back on the Gold Standard after 1972. We wanted to be able to have more wars." ...Just thinking about first hearing some of these historical explanations from Michael Hudson over the years, and much like his whole position on when/how/why there are cases when the debts have to be canceled to re-balance society, he's just a unique scholar to give some very major historical context that we all need these days. ...Great stuff as always.

Interesting to hear of Keynes suggestion that Britain could construct it's own economic system after ww2. I wonder if that could have worked well. Michael Hudson is my go to economist

The boy's face changed when Hudson says Russia might nuke England just to keep the Americans in check

Should be part of high school curriculum

Thank you michael hudson.

The viewer should make note of the sudden devaluation of the pound on September 19, 1949. From £1 = $4.03 to £1 = $2.80

Great guest, thanks!

Professor Hudson is a true guru in international finance. The information provided here gems to understanding how the world has been subjugated to US financial system. May God keep him safe and healthy.

Taxes used to eliminate rentiers, because they increase the overall costs of the system

Michael is a gem of academics! Thanks!

Mike Hudson is one of the rare economists who speak the truth about capitalism.

1.54 ".... the work I'm doing with China....". That is the first time I learned this from professor MH. So Chinese pregime is applying economics that works in the best interests of its peoples and American regime applies the same economics that work best for corporate cleptocrates not its peoples?

These nation's economies were taken hostage in essence. 52:47

Great to have Michael Hudson here.

"by the way, this goes back to babylonia" haha!

Wonderful exposition, world master class, thanks Mr. Hudson!❤

This man is something else.

I can't get enough of Michael Hudson

This video deserves subtitles

Chris thank you for making us aware of what's going on economically worldwide.

This explains everything. Thank you.

Je l'admire, Dr. Michael Hudson , pour ses critques et ses analyses faite , ayant une expérience unique de l'intérieur des politiques bancaire et financière ! What I critisize is his policy based view of a non Marxist--Leninist--Zinoviev's point of view of structural nature of anti--socialist , anti--communist aggravated phase of Imperialism and contradictions caused since supe-imperialist that I called neo--imperialist after 1997 S. E. Asian Great World Financial crisis , empoverishing in less than two weeks, , over 14 developing countries , called The Smaller Dragons of The Asian markets surrounding China ! What I had called myself , Neo-Imperialism after 1991-1997 , after deeper researches done for causes of set-backs or faillures to go ahead of The Soviet Union and China pro-socialist camps after 1989--1991 , and seemingly abandonning their primitive persuit of '' so called socialism '' that Lenin and his commerades had called as NEP policy of State--Capitalism between 2022 and 2027 in Russia and it's modifications by Stalin's administration for Nationlization of Land and completion of Electrification and industrial infra--structures and other socialist features added to a welfare state of Soviet Union , followed everywhere else , and aiding China after 1940's and building Chineese Infra--Structures for an industrialized country plus other Mao's features added for large agricultural communes more suitable for China ! Mere calling it then neoliberalism , what even Naomi Kline had exposed in her well documented book of Schock and Awe of neo--fascist imperialism , and Noam Chomsky calling it not even New , Nor Liberal for the term neolibralism , which is not of a Marxist term , but one used by Milton Friedman's Economics followed by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher , and presently known as all right wing globalist doctrine , what was formulated in Washington Consensus about and after 1989 ! And what became the military doctrine of Permanent Wars by G.W. Bush and The Neo-Conserveties' doctrine of neo-imperialists all globalized or concentrated in NATO-G7 bloc after 2008 , facing Russia-CHina aliances of SCO plus , BRICS plus and OPEC plus , a much Vaster Global non-aligned countries' alliances of opposing neo-imperialist-Collonialist domination , actually growing to six billion populations on Earth !

This was a really interesting lecture. Thank you Dr. Michael Hudson

Absolutely brilliant, thank you professor.

Eye opening! Keep on keeping on, world treasure.

An excellent interview with the true integrity in a difficult cause.

Loved listening to prof. Hudson and learned a lot. Thank You.

Salute Micheal Hudson.,and All Truth Teller's and Activists.🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

Very good questions, Excellent answers!

Hudson = TOP MAN

both the interviewer and interviewee is so polite as if all that they're saying is a revelation.. should be more like like Vijay Prashad or Max Blumenthal or even professor Richard Wolff..

Michael Hudson is a genius.. Norway is heavily unionized and many non-union members are also covered by union contracts. Negotiations for wages are made between national labor union associations and national employer associations. Government is involved too.Their inequality is low and their standard of living among the highest in the world. Japan has privately provided top quality, primary care-oriented healthcare with the best results in the world. The price of every procedure and drug at the same nationwide price is negotiated biannually between five doctor representatives and Japan's Health Ministry. All health insurance, doctor's offices and hospitals are non-profit. "Anti-labor policies (anti-union) don't allow countries (or individuals) to pay off the debt and make them more dependent." And that's the goal! Banksters strip countries and individuals of their assets and make them indebted, dependent renters or just take their assets and exploited labor and move on. World Economic Forum: "You will own nothing and be happy." NO.

So the IMF is the real pusher of debt trap.

THANK YOU FOR THIS EXCELLENT WORK PROFESSOR. ABOVE ALL CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE THE WORLD OF YOUR TEACHING.

Phenomenal!!

Imagine if Harvard teach this to the top students in America...

This is very informative.

"As long as you put identity politics front and centre, you can do whatever you want economically to crush the people you pretend to be representing."

Recent research has called into question the claim that German hyperinflation was caused by the reparations decreed by the Treaty of Versailles. Instead, it has been suggested that the cause was German incompetence.

26:24 "The Americans said that any foreign country wanting to grow its own food instead of depending on US grain exports was touted as an active war and would be overthrown." 52:50 "The purpose of the IMF was to make other countries poor and dependent on the US so they could never mount militaries"

Professor Hudson. Always an eye-opener. Would be interesting to hear once his opinion on Silvio Gesell’s economic model.

Impressive !!!

A good book to read for additional background on U.S. foreign policy was published in 1984, written by Jonathan Kwitny -- "Endless Enemies."

This is very true thank you so much

Kari Levitt-Polanyi wrote an update to her father’s book called from the Great Transformation to the Great Financialization.

This talk has revaled who & what is behind the agricultural reforms in India --the USA-- which will have such devastating social & economic effects in India and beyond,

Is it knows when the new edition will be finally out? Greetings from Berlin, Germany!

finally finally someone who understands that ISIS is part of the american foreign legion and actually has the balls to say it.

So crazy to listen to this during this stage of the Russia-Ukraine war (US-Russia proxy war).

Hudson verbalizes some pretty obvious empirical truths, hard truths, "truth to powers", that no one sees to want to speak, love this guy. 3:00 This seems like a simple matter of fact thing to say, but very very few people say it let alone elaborate on it, ""[Superimperialism] the context is that the strategy for dedollarisation today by china, russia, other countries; is basically How do you make an ALTERNATIVE to an international financial order THAT REALLY WAS DESIGNED FROM THE BEGINNING TO BENEFIT THE UNITED STATES IN ITS OWN SELF INTEREST. This issue was discussed after WW1 at the... [this] essentially gave it control of the world economy..." That's right, there are no real alternatives becaeu the USA even controls the SWIFT system of exchange that was supposed to be neutral and non-political, and is now used BY FORCE by the USA to impose sanctions and pressure nations they don't like or deem enemies to handicap their international businesses lest those nations become stronger or for whatever other reasons they might have. They also imposed by threat of force, what is called the PetroDollar, in which all transactions have been forced to be conducted in dollars, thus creating a high ARTIFICIAL demand for the dollar, and the list continues in this line... I am glad someone like Hudson can say this out loud, and fewer words than I can. it is also weird how they just get an idea into their heads and say it and impose it, like the Monroe Doctrine; so the USA doest want anyone meddling in the American continent, but they are perfectly fine meddling in all other continents, to this very day!!

bravo!

Bush/Cheney made a war criminal like Paul Wolfowitz the President of the World Bank after the Iraq War. Noting that he was Rumsfeld's Deputy Secretary of Defense leading up to, & during Washington's war in Iraq. Thank you for this post. It was interesting listening to Prof. Hudson's perspective on American Empire. I kinda wish he would've said something about the rise of American Oligarchy in the late 1800s, which would've really melted in perfectly as a precursor to America's aspirations towards Empire. But it doesn't matter, I'm already aware of it. It would've been interesting to hear his side of it though. Thanks again.

Please do podcasts for these!

Thank you professor for explain in such a clear way, the yankee mafia work flow.

Nailed it!Great rave.

Listening to this was the equivalent of sitting in a college classroom!

Damn, i'm not a scholar, but after this my respect for Hudson is left wavering.

lol@ the swift anecdote about the dam builder being a bed wetter living out his insecurities hahaha. just breezed over it in the same tone as the rest of the speech. hudson rules

Interesting to see Plutocracy, Cleptocracy and Kakistocracy are fairly applied to understand Super Imperialism.

I never understand how all of these types of discussions never include the exploitation of African countries especially during those times. Its like everyone starts the story in the middle

Feb 2022: 46:30 Michael Hudson called it.

You need a podcast Mic, sir!

"..The basic principle of American Foregin Policy - no other country can tell us what to do. We can tell other countries what to do, they cannot tell us what to do and we will not join any agreement in which we don't have a veto power which gives us essentially control of the World Bank, the IMF, or the veto power in the United Nations & any international organisation that the United States will join."

Hudson the goat

Fascinating as always! Michael Hudson deserves more attention (I get why of course the mainstream econ community doesn't want that) The insights he has and connections he makes, how he ties econ, politics, Intl Relations its just brilliant. Of course this was done pre Putin's invasion I am curious his thoughts on the impact of the alternative bloc he spoke about. Perhaps the plan has been a bit screwed up but does seem like a China & Russia lead alternative bloc was and is still the plan. China brokered a deal between Saudi Arabia & Iran, does feel like a growing counter bloc is forming

Rome risen, Rome falls

this sounds like the Dulles Brothers' doing

Yes, Brother, Yes!!

LEST WE FORGET !

When is the book coming out?

Thanks for this. US Corporate Media fails us.

Listening to this guy stumble through every single effing sentence is a form of torture, but it's worth it. He's not just a brilliant analyst, he was on the spot for much of it. And he has a conscience. As opposed to realpolitik, which is just psychopathy all dressed up as something grand.
