[P2P-F] Michael Hudson video *****

[Michel Bauwens]

big differences between ron paul and ralph nader/ kucinich on the other
hand, but glad to hear they have found common ground that brings us forward
...

together with steven keen, michael hudson is probably my favourite
economist,

I would characterise the latter as a left libertarian, and he has certainly
nothing to do with anarcho-capitalism; I think he calls himself a 'Georgist
economist' .. I would think people like him are for a progressive
smallholder-based market system, with very strong egalitarian impuses ...

Please don't see this as a mere exercise in labelling, worldviews and
perspectives are important, to find common ground it also helps when you
know where the other is coming from

Kevin, you probably know more about  this?

Martin, is a public utility necessarily centralized (or undemocratic ), I
don't think so; of course, even if it were, we should not automatically
fetishize distributed structures ... it's a question of balance or
'subsidiarity' ...
