Скачать или смотреть Dark Side of Economics (Summary of Upcoming Videos)

This video is an introduction to a new series of videos I am uploading. This series looks at how economics has been and is being used to the detriment rather than for the good of society. This video presents a short summary of the key topics to be presented in the upcoming videos in this series.
The topics summarized are as follows:
Government expenditure
Government dealings with the private sector
Taxation
Focus on treatment over cure and cure over prevention
Strategic subsidizing of businesses
Power of the Central Banks
Cost benefit analysis to justify expenditure
Objective of making the public sick to increase profit
Bank bail-outs and bail-ins
Stock market
Currency manipulation
Focus on maximizing material wealth
Exploitation through monopoly power
Pushing the herd mentality
Economics of war
The costs of mass production

Two common themes running throughout the above topics are power and greed. Economics is often used by Governments and large private corporations to control the population. This power is often acquired using false information and fear mongering. Examples of false information include the extent Government investment benefit society and the understating of the negative effects of Government activity. Examples of the use of fear mongering is the heavy focus on terrorism, crime, and threats from other countries.

Another powerful tool for gaining support for objectives and initiatives is the illusion of democracy and the perceived influence of the people. The illusion of influence creates less resistance to actions and policies pushed by the Government. An outright and open dictatorship is more likely to face opposition, hence reducing the effectiveness of manipulation through economics. I have another video explaining the interaction between democracy and economics. This video will also be released in four parts over the coming month.

This the link to the democracy video.

This series will be followed by another series which outlines how economics can and should be used for the good of everyone. I hope you enjoy the video.
