TED in 2004 – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on flow

From TED:

Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi asks, “What makes a life worth living?” Noting that money cannot make us happy, he looks to those who find pleasure and lasting satisfaction in activities that bring about a state of “flow.”

Dr. Michael Hudson: The Bailout’s New Financial Oligarchy

Gunsandbutter.net, a promising web site if all their interviews are this good. An eye opening interview with Dr. Michael Hudson (http://www.michael-hudson.com/).

Quoting from the radio station where I was able to find the online version of the interview, kpfa.org:

“The Bailout’s New Financial Oligarchy” with economist and financial historian, Dr. Michael Hudson, discussing the largest financial theft in American history – the evolving giveaway to Wall Street crooks.  We talk about the class war leading to depopulation, de-industrialization, poverty, and sharply increasing default and debt.  The bailout offers no help to the economy.  The only way to resolve the crisis is to write down the debt, and this is not being done.  We discuss the IMF/World Bank, the end of foreign investment, Enron-style accounting, and the false cover story promulgated through media deception.  The bailout is a gangland operation to pay the pals of Paulson.
