    These are the sort of people who should be at the helm of our economic systems

    I'm a simple man - I see an interview/video with Jason Hickel and I immediately like and share it.
  • Seen Prof. Varoufakis with Prof. Hickel together, feels like two giants unite, forming a new bigger and better "Transformers" robot, fighting for Decolonization-Equality-Justice. So glad see you two "together"!
  • There are so many comments that could be made about this mesmerising conversation. The new story that will replace this one is already created and we must elect those who understand this conversation, deeply. The future is bright but only if there is a collective awakening into this new story..

    I recently read Jason’s book Less is More out loud to my dad and it lead to some fruitful conversation. I especially love the chapters focused on the origins of capitalism and the Golden Age of of European Proletariat.
  • Wow I’m blown away by this. It seems like we are in sleep mode on what’s happening around us. You just made sense to my mind on what is happening in South Africa now. I just learnt so much.

    Probably the only 2 guys I want to hear speak about the economy
  • @anafernandes225
    They know, Yanis, they know what they're doing. In the US they call poor or homeless "losers". They despise poor people.
  • @PeopleComm1
    My 2 favourite thinkers in a conversation! Thank you
  • @TheBurdenOfHope
    Oh wow. My heart literally skipped a beat when I saw this video. Can’t wait to dig in. I love Jason. You could also talk to Kate Raworth or Timothee Parrique too who are also geniuses when it comes to this topic.
  • @robertbollen
    Thank you to all 3 for a fascinating conversation.
  • @conniekaler
    Fantastic conversation. Great to hear Yanis over-ruled for once ;)

    Universal basic income would help people to work fewer jobs, encourage a start up locally providing jobs. Fewer journeys, less stress. Trial of this shows encouraging growth in the local economy. Imho. Thank you
