Description
Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com
Debt forgiveness and the works of Michael Hudson and the ancient practice of Jubilee years. This leads us into a deeper conversation about the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, highlighting the courage and resilience of figures like Wat Tyler and John Ball. We explore the oppressive conditions that led to this uprising and draw parallels to modern-day economic struggles.
Our conversation also touches on the insidious nature of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the potential return of barter systems as a form of resistance. We discuss the importance of reconnecting with local farms and communities to build a more sustainable and self-reliant future.
