Fraud always involves deception. With increasing frequency, we are beset by fraud-laced schemes. Remember the Wells-Fargo banking scandal in which two million fake customer accounts were created?
Here’s an even more jaw-dropping example of pseudo-capitalism, from Germany.
A man bombed a soccer team’s bus, allegedly, but first, he rigged the market.... Audio and narration produced by Jim Sawyer. Audio editing by Quincy L. Lewis (Flipside-Ink Publishing)

Truth Marching On (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
10 MAR 2017 · Julia Ward Howe, who penned the Battle Hymn of the Republic—just months after Fort Sumter’s fall—was a writer, poet, abolitionist, social activist and suffragette. To understand Ward Howe, we must understand her contextually, within the turbulent period in which she lived. Truth goes marching on, she exclaimed, profoundly. What a fitting backdrop for reflection upon.....

Ike The Barber (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
10 MAR 2017 · Communism has evolved. Remember the old Soviet system? It crashed in 1991. In place of markets, Soviets used quotas, fashioned by committees. Never mind what citizens actually wanted—or needed—stuff was chosen for them by bureaucrats, instead. Of course, when the price system is undermined, disastrous consequences may follow. For the Soviet system, economic and political ...
Fundamentalism (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
10 MAR 2017 · Let’s get down to basics. The Washington swamp must be drained, NOW. Sound familiar? Right out of Donald Trump’s play book? Right out of father’s play book, also. Throw the bums out; in the Sawyer household was a familiar refrain. Fundamentalists like Buss reduce Technicolor-like complexity, to black and white simplicity. The only thing in...
Old Men Like Me (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
10 MAR 2017 · Buss was a complex character. I eavesdropped on father as we were closing our neighborhood store—the night before Christmas—marking the end of the busy shopping season. Just then a man entered, distraught, and engaged Buss clumsily. Next, spontaneously, he exploded in tears. With a large family, he couldn’t afford presents for his kids. Disabled and.....
Let's Fix This... Now (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
10 MAR 2017 · The perspective of this podcast series is this. The way in which the economy behaves—changes. However, the way ideologues think it ought to behave, stagnates and ossifies.

Unbridled doctrinaire thinking on the ideological right, especially, has […]
Donald Trump's Chumps
10 MAR 2017 · In feudal society, the community common was public space shared by all. Consequently, if a serf allowed his cow to graze on the commons’ lush grasses, his self-interest would be enhanced, but at the expense of his neighbors’ well-being. That is, if every serf turned his cow loose after dark to graze the common, in ...
Pre-Election Rip-Offs (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
24 FEB 2017 · Over 5300 Wells-Fargo employees lost their jobs even though no senior managers were fired. This isn’t cross-selling…this is fraud.
Labor Day With Rodney Dangerfield (Capitalism In Crisis w/ Jim Sawyer)
24 FEB 2017 · On Labor Day, let’s consider the Rodney Dangerfield theory of labor. Coined after the now-deceased comedian, this theory along with a winner-take-all perspective may explain why working folks “don’t get no respect” in the labor market.
The looming crisis of capitalism is inability to sort out self-interest rightly understood, from crass rip-offs that redistribute wealth and power away from America’s most vulnerable citizens.
