    Discussing real economy.
    Not for the weak stomachs, used to a diet of Harvard economics. This is for those who want to know real economics in relationship to today’s geopolitics. Brace yourselves.
    The real story ain’t pretty.

        Was listening to video; and wanted to check amazon on price of book being discussed.
        Disgusting, is the correct word.
        Getting ahead of myself…
        Michael Hudson starts off by talking about his new edition of his classic 1972 book, Super Imperialism. It’s coming out in 2021.
        The latest edition available now is 2014. It’s a moderate paper back book.
        Amazon doesn’t want you to read it.
        Well, technically you can, by buying the paperback for $890.00 plus $33.99 shipping.
        The book is 449 pages.
        That’s monopoly capitalism under a socialist regime.
        It’s all about power, and controlling information.
        Disgusting.
