This lecture series should be made mandatory for all politicians. With full reports from them and suggested strategies . If they fail this they can not take there seat in parliament.

The history of human economies:
"Now that we have a surplus of goods, what should we do with it?"
"Give it to the richest people."
"Great idea!"
[economy collapses - some form of socialism evolves]
"Well, that was horrible but we made it through and now we have a surplus again. What should we do with it?"
"Give it to the richest people."
"Great idea!"

This lecture series offers a clear vision about WTF is going on (and going wrong) in the world, and unlike so many other lectures this series ends with a prescription for positive change. I keep sharing with friends and family. And the question section is not to be missed! Amazing work 🙏

I have been waiting for this lecture. I have learned so much from this series.

This brings together all the issues of recent years & threads them together in a coherent, clearly understandable & persuasive format, which at the same time is fresh & pragmatic enough to offer a glimpse of the way out of the trap which is positive & motivational.
Thank you for a timely & v informative 4 part series. More pls.

This series was phenomenal. As an American I have a very superficial idea of the UK economy, but have been interested in the social effects of Brexit, and I also appreciated your perspective on future developments.

The third lecture appeared in my video feed; it looked interesting, so I watched it. I went back to the previous videos and ended with this video. This series is EXCELLENT! Dr. Silvers explained the concepts, in a way that was understandable, to a 'lay' person like me. It's a shame this series can't be required viewing for business school students. Thank you so much for making this information available to the rest of us.

A great lecture and a great series on neoliberal political economy. I am rethinking my approach and attitude to UK politics completely.

Came over from the neoliberalism talks these lectures are all great for understanding neoliberalism and progressive goals in (western) economics today.

A truly excellent tour de force on the causes and reasons for stagnation in Britain’s economy. But also a way in which the country can fundamentally transform its economy to meet the global challenges and meet societies needs. It can be done and it needs to be done.
