    "Progressivism" is the source of inflation. Cut taxes and spending.

    Socialism is the only economic ideology focused on reining in govt corruption AND market overreach. We could easily fix the economy if we stopped letting the rich rig everything.

    During World War II, inflation was held under control despite massive government expenditures, and unemployment fell to 1%. The highly-trained workforce was a major factor in the post-war Golden Era when transportation, education and health infrastructure were built to be publicly-owned and operated at cost, and when comprehensive new social programs were introduced. Today unemployment rates of 6% that keep labour weak are normalized, and private sector advocates demand low taxes and accelerated depreciation because new infrastructure is be owned and operated for profit by corporations. Many Canadians worry about having enough income to pay food and rent, and having available timely health care. If hard-pressed citizens are to fret about "poor productivity", then they must be offered more than a slick slogan that a rising tide will raise all our yachts.

    I think this is evidence that the standard thinking about the relationship between unemployment and inflation is off by a considerable number. The NAIRU for Canada will likely be higher than the USA, but not nearly as high as it is thought to be now.

    Interesting talk, but I would modify the focus in two ways. One, Marx's use of the word "social" is minimalistic, and refers at most to a kind of grudging cooperation between capital and labor. By contrast, people like Carol Gilligan and Stephen Porges limit the "social" to the distinctively "pro-social", that is, as Porges might put it, to human co-regulation under conditions of safety, seeking freedom and love. Hence, the embattled sphere is not the production of care, but rather the production of society, as opposed to the production of commodities. Two, Yalnizyan not only is dismissive of the social progress of China, but takes a pro-NATO stance on Russia and on US imperialism generally, as if America's trillion dollar defense budget has no impact upon the social prospects of beleaguered Americans. Instead, it must by emphasized that American unipolarity, hegemony and Exceptionalism are core ingredients of the impoverishment of American life both in and outside the workplace, and that corporate media propaganda aimed at our "authoritarian" enemies must be vigorously opposed.

    Loved this speech. When she talked about expectations that flies in the face of the Trilateralists who met in 1973 and concluded that people were too well educated and there was an excess of democracy. That caused expectations to be too high in their view. If you believed that in 1973, what would you do? Thought experiment. A second set of threads was James McGill Buchanan who was funded by the Koch brothers and he worked to change the rules - e.g. the constitutional problems encountered by Chile where progressives found the rules were obstacles to progress. If you want to read more about the Democracy In Chains: The deep history of the radical right’s stealth plan for America. The Koch brothers contributed to the Fraser Institute and used to own a stake in the Oil sands. What year was the Fraser Institute - a libertarian enterprise - created? Some interesting coincidences? One year after the Trilateralists met in 1973. Progressives believe in social responsibility but have they forgotten that is a major connection to personal freedom? My friends concerned about freedom and individual rights appear to have forgotten about social responsibility as part of that.

    The political Left used to be tolerant. Now they're insane angry, intolerant bigots. THAT is how we have truly moved backwards. Listen to the first few words of Broadbent's speech. He was a true gentleman. Unlike the Left today. He said we are all committed to solving problems of child poverty regardless of whether or not they are Conservative, Liberal or New Democrat.

Much success on the journeys ahead. :) LCA
