Steve Grumbine: Truth About Money

13 August 2018 – We were lucky enough to have Steve Grumbine, of Real Progressives, for the entire show. We talked briefly about the recent OH-12 special election and his take on how the Greens impacted the election. We then spent the rest of the show talking about spreading the word about modern monetary theory and messaging.

Next week we have terrific interviews with experts on Puerto Rico and the following week we have Nancy Altman of Social Security Works on her new book, The Truth About Social Security. Stay tuned, August is going to be a great month on Hopping Mad! Many Carrots – Arliss

Zach Carter, the NFL and the German Election

25 September 2017 – In the show this week Arliss interviews Zach Carter and I discuss both the NFL and the German election.

Yesterday was a tough day for German Democracy, the Far-Right took third place in the German election entitling them to become the third largest political party in the Bundestag. What’s particularly worrying is the tough path that Merkel now has in order to form a government due to fractures in the left wing SDP and the poor coalition options. These conditions include trying to get the Greens to work the CDU and the FDP. The three parties that agree on very little.

We’re also poadcasting the first of several interviews which Arliss made with folks at the MMT conference. This week with Zach Carter, whom we like to quote here at Hopping Mad. Their wide ranging discussion touched on a number of economic issues, but also the way that certain conservatives tend to treat politics like sports.

We’ll have another heavy hitting interview for you next week. – Will
