Imperializem v 21. stoletju

Kako so najbolj razvite kapitalistične sile s selitvijo proizvodnje na globlani jug preoblikovale svetovno gospodarstvo in izumile nove načine ekonomskega izkoriščanja najrevnejših državImperializem si praviloma predstavljamo v njegovi najbolj grobi in očitni obliki, kot vojaško, gospodarsko in politično prevlado močnejše države nad tujim območjem. Ta oblika podreditve seveda ni nikoli čisto izginila in morda celo znova postaja bolj aktualna. In vendar so najmočnejše svetovne sile skozi drugo polovico 20. stoletja, ko so se nekdanje kolonije evropskih sil eno za drugo osamosvojile, svojo moč začele uveljavljati predvsem na drugačne, bolj prikrite načine. Prav tej novi obliki podrejanja, ki se je razvila v 80-ih letih preteklega stoletja in se razrašča vse do danes, se bomo posvetili v tokratnih Glasovih svetov, in sicer ob delu Imperializem v 21. stoletju britanskega strokovnjaka za mednarodno politično ekonomijo Johna Smitha, ki je nedavno izšlo pri založbi Sophia. O tem, kako se je v preteklih desetletjih skozi globalizacijo preoblikovalo svetovno gospodarstvo, v kakšnih razmerah so izdelane naše majice in elektronske naprave ter zakaj tudi industrijski razvoj mnogim državam globalnega juga ni prinesel nič drugega kot naraščajoči delavski razred, ki v mizernih pogojih in brez vsakih pravic proizvaja poceni izdelke, bomo govorili s sociologom dr. Markom Kržanom in filozofom Jernejem Medenom. Oddajo je pripravila Alja Zore. Foto: Delavci v tekstilni tovarni v Bangladešu leta. 2011, izsek. Avtor: Tareq Salahuddin, CC BY 2.0

This bizarre meeting became the inspiration for Douglas' groundbreaking book, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires. In this eye-opening conversation we talk about the twisted ideology behind the Big Tech CEOs' dreams of the future that doesn't include the rest of us.... as well as the best way to fight against it.

A forgotten wallet and the surprising origin story of the credit card

Credit cards are a part of everyday life, consumer debt is widespread and access to credit has helped make America a worldwide economic force. But where did it all begin? According to legend, in 1940s New York when businessman Frank McNamara was out for lunch with his associates. He forgot his wallet, and resolved to create a new way to pay. What emerged was the ‘Diners Card’. A few decades and a disastrous experiment later, this morphed into the credit card we know today. Hosts Gillian Tett and Robin Wigglesworth discuss the invention of the credit card, consider a crazy scheme dubbed the ‘Fresno drop’, and reflect on how the flexible friend revolutionised the way we pay - and built a trillion dollar mountain of debt.
