Dear Philosophers,
We are going to continue our discussion of money and the background context of the new Federal stimulus package on Monday. We will focus our discussion on the two links below. I've also posted an article about the stimulus bail-out, read as much as you have time for.
The Zoom Meeting link for this class is zoom.us/j/528542085 or by phone 1 (646) 558-8656. Our Meeting ID: 528 542 085.
The Money Question and Financial Crisis
1. Ellen Brown's piece on why the Federal Reserve should be "de-privatized" in order to better serve the democracy.
"The Banker's Power Revolution: How the Government Got Shackled with Debt"
2. Why and How the Federal Reserve can be de-privatized (i.e. "nationalized")
The historic HR2990 Monetary Reform Bill drafted by Stephen Zarlenga
3. An overview of the ethics and political economy of the bailout
David Dayen, "Unsanitized: Bailouts, A Tradition Unlike Any Other"
A Deeper and More Interesting way to think about Immunity
On a different topic, I've also posted an extended conversation between the wonderful Regina Meredith and the microbiologist Compton Rom about COVID-19 which offers a really interesting holistic way to look at immunity, viruses and the whole vaccination issue. If you take the time to listen to the whole thing, and I hope you do! because it's both super interesting and super helpful, here's a time: take notes on, and try make sense of the differences between, the what Rom calls the SEVEN LEVELS OF IMMUNITY. This is quite eye-opening. We can talk about any of this stuff on Monday too. Enjoy!
