MISSION: Chapter 6, Beyond Ideology: Reclaiming the Moral Centre

Read in December 2021. In this last episode, Noel explores the tangled legacy of liberalism, socialism, and conservatism—and how their modern mutations into ideological extremes like neoliberalism and neo-socialism have distorted their original insights. From the rise of influence-peddling and the monetisation of public services, to the failings of identity-based politics and the urgent need for a renewed focus on equality of opportunity, this is a critique of neoliberal excess and a call for principled, inclusive reform. Featuring reflections on capitalism’s moral case, the corruption of public interest, and the path forward for progressive policy grounded in need—not identity—this episode dives deep into the soul of democratic society.

MISSION: Chapter 5, Beyond Neoliberalism: MMT’s Vision for Economic Justice

Read in December 2021. In this episode, Noel explores the intellectual and political revolution of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), tracing its origins from the dominance of neoliberal thought shaped by elite institutions like the Chicago School, Harvard Business School, and France’s École Nationale d’Administration. Economist William Mitchell, a key architect of MMT, offers a powerful critique of the myths surrounding government spending, debt, and deficits. Noel delves into how MMT reframes fiscal capacity, challenges orthodox assumptions about inflation and employment, and presents a transformative vision for economic justice—especially for those excluded by the status quo. From buffer stocks of wool to a universal job guarantee, this is a story about economic truths long hidden, and the need to rethink the purpose of public policy.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
