Q&A

 

"Origins and Adaptations II", Toronto, ON, CA.

Peter Joseph's "Origins and Adaptations II", March 15th 2014, 6th Annual "Zeitgeist Day", Toronto, ON, CA. In this presentation Peter discusses how the Market Economy has not only evolved/simplified into its most core function of blind gain and hence the arbitrary trading of the "widget", using the Stock Market / Financialization as a point of focus, he also explains how any social progress that has occurred has happened "by proxy" - or incidental to the market game. He describes what all Free-Market proponents ignore: the true, measurable system consequences which are suffocating humanity - with Capitalism now the "leading cause of death" on Earth today. He also explains how an "ethically" respected, "pure" free market (even if it was possible - which it is not, as argued) would generate constant deprivation/"ethical" imbalance - due to the pressure-building "externalities" that the Market cannot solve due to its foundational mechanisms. Also, the idea of "Crony-Capitalism" vs. "Free Market Capitalism" is proven to be a "Continuum Fallacy" and a delusion via moral relativism.
