Zoltan Pozsar of Credit Suisse and Perry Mehrling of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies explain how the "plumbing of the financial system" is coming under strain like never before. This podcast gives a great insight into how the money system works.

The three central points made are that the "supply chain is a payment chain in reverse", how the Fed has alleviated much of the dollar shortage stress through quick issuance of swaps and how the "post-crisis" future may look like.

Why We Can’t Afford the Rich
In this radio interview, Andrew Sayer first outlines some features of neoliberalism and policies that are associated with it. Then a difference between wealth creation via investment and wealth extraction by means of lending money to those deprived of it or by acquiring property such as real estate or financial assets on the secondary market as absentee owner is established. In this context reference is made to J.A. Hobson's concept of "improperty." Finally, there are some words on the power dynamics associated with capitalism and its relation to climate change.

Ist eine Welt ohne Schulden ökonomisch und literarisch uninteressant? Joseph Vogl nähert sich in diesem kurzem Exkurs dem Thema Schulden aus verschiedensten Perspektiven an.

The COVID-19 Debt Deluge
How long the COVID-19 crisis will last, and what its immediate economic costs will be, is anyone's guess. But even if the pandemic's economic impact is contained, it may have already set the stage for a debt meltdown long in the making, starting in many of the Asian emerging and developing economies on the front lines of the outbreak.

Wieso eine grüne Geldpolitik legal und legitim ist
Inzwischen beschäftigen sich auch die großen Zentralbanken mit ihrer Rolle im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. Wie weit sie dabei gehen (können), hängt davon ab, wie viel politische Legitimation dafür geschaffen wird.
