  • Militarism, Capitalism & Austerity: The Hidden Trinity of Power
    Why do endless wars, austerity, and genocide continue — even when people everywhere demand peace and justice? This video explains the deep economic logic behind militarism, showing how capitalism and austerity are structurally tied to war spending.Drawing on Antonio Gramsci’s warning against indifference, the talk reveals how profit motives fuel violence in Gaza, Sudan, and beyond, while governments prioritize arms industries and surveillance over human needs. From record-breaking military budgets to soaring weapons stock prices, we connect the dots between economic structures and systemic violence — and why young generations are demanding divestment.This is part of FREE: The Forum for Real Economic Emancipation, a space for confronting the truths about how our economic system really works — and how we can change it.#Militarism #Capitalism #Austerity #Gaza #Sudan #AntiWar #Gramsci #FREEForum #Divestment #WarEconomy

  • Weaponizing Economics: A Critical Look at the Political Economy of Palestine
    In this episode of the FREE (Forum for Real Economic Emancipation) podcast, hosts Claire and Professor Ibrahim Shikaki, an associate professor of economics at Trinity College and an expert on the political economy of Palestine, delve into the economic dimensions of the crisis in the region. They discuss Professor Shikaki's paper, "Weaponizing Economics Against Palestine," and explore how economics as a discipline can mystify the true nature of events. The conversation uses dependency theory as a framework to explain how the Global North's wealth is built on the systemic extraction of resources from the Global South.Key topics include:Historical Context: The discussion traces the origins of economic dependency back to the British Mandate, where policies encouraged Jewish emigration and shifted the weight of industrial production through concessions to Zionist organizations, changes in tax collection, and manipulation of tariffs.Post-1967 Occupation: The hosts and guest examine how the Israeli occupation after 1967 implemented military orders to restrict Palestinian industry, confiscate land, and create a dependent economy. This led to a significant portion of the Palestinian labor force working in the Israeli construction sector. The hosts discuss how Israel benefits from this arrangement by exploiting cheap labor and using the Palestinian territories as a supplementary market and a resource for factors of production.Resource Control and Austerity: The episode highlights the commodification of resources like land and water. Israel's state-owned company, Mekorot, controls the water supply, with 80% of Palestinian water having to be purchased from them. The discussion also covers the Paris Protocol of 1994, which formalized economic dependency and gave Israel the power to use clearance revenues as a tool for economic blackmail against the Palestinian Authority (PA). This fiscal dependency has left the PA unable to pay its public employees their full salaries and has contributed to high unemployment rates.Watch on Youtube.

  • Austerity: What They Don't Want You to Know About Our Economy | a FREE Explainer
    Why is austerity always the answer, and who does it really serve?In this explainer, economist Clara Mattei, executive director of the Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE), breaks down the political logic of austerity, not as a budgeting mistake, but as a tool of systemic control. From slashed food stamps to rising interest rates, from military expansion to mass unemployment, austerity isn’t about scarcity. It’s about power.Mattei reveals how fiscal, monetary, and industrial austerity function together to keep the majority dependent on markets, wages, and private capital — all while funneling wealth to the top. This isn’t just policy. It’s a global project of exploitation and repression.🔍 Topics Covered:What austerity really means (and why it’s so rarely defined)The truth behind budget cuts and rising debtHow austerity fuels inequality, militarism, and authoritarianismConnections between the Global South, interest rates, and structural theftWhy the wage labor system must be protected — at any costHistorical roots: from Mussolini’s Italy to modern neoliberalism📌 Subscribe for more conversations on economic justice, democracy, and building a future beyond austerity.
