political economy

We spent six months doing a deep dive into this, asking what the phasing out of hydrocarbons and the new green industries mean for Grimsby and Aberdeen, and whether the claims about green jobs driving the economy forward really do stack up.

Uh, to discuss this today, we have Melanie Onn, MP for Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes; Keith Bender, Chair of Political Economy at the University of Aberdeen and co-chair of their Just Transition Lab; and Oliver Nash, Director of Innovation at the Institute for the Future of Work, who've done lots of work on green skills and the labor market; and then James Smith, Chief Economist at the Resolution Foundation.

Uh, we have a report out today, so you can go to our website and download that and follow along if you like, or you can also go to Slido, where you can ask questions and do the poll.

We're joined by my friend Dr. Michael Pakaluk to talk about this.

Dr. Michael Pakaluk is an Arist- Aristotelian scholar, ordinarius of the Pontifical Academy of Saint Thomas Aquinas, professor of political economy in the Bush School of Business at the Catholic University of America, and he lives in Hyattsville, Maryland with his bride, Catherine.

They are prolific authors.

The, w- one of his books that I found particularly impressive was The Shock of Holiness, although [laughs] all of his books give tremendous food for thought.

Well, it's quick for people to quickly deny this analogy between the political community and household.

But as you said, I mean, it goes back to the very word economics.

That's a shortening of the word political economy, which means treat the entire city state as a single household, treat the United States as a single household.

And it's true, the government is not a household.

The question is why? It's not exactly easy to sell on a world famous piece by a world famous artist.

Good afternoon, Sean.

Good tips there for anyone with a fledgling criminal career.

Hand Sir Robert Peel, Part 1 1788-1850 Political Economy Among the great prime ministers of England, Sir Robert Peel is to be classed.

He ranks with Pitt, Canning, and Gladstone for his intellectual force, his services, and his patriotism.

He was to England what Guizot and Thiers were to France, a pre-eminent statesman, identified with great movements, learned, eloquent, and wise.

And they have ever been affected through parliament.

All popular agitations have failed unless they have appealed to reason and right.

Thus, the People's Charter movement, beginning about 1838, was a signal failure, because from the practical side it involved no great principles of political economy, nothing that enriches a nation, and from the side of popular rights it was premature, crude, and represented no intelligent desire on the part of the people.

It was a movement nursed in discontent and carried on with bitterness and illegal violence.

And then there's this one I sort of talked about and teased at the top of the podcast today.

The title here is Capital and Nomos, the Political Economy of the Interregnum.

Now, if you're like me, you had to look up what Nomos is, and I'm sure he defines it in the article somewhere.

And I've not read all of this, but I've just read the beginning bits of it.

Part six: National Growth and World Politics.

Chapter 16: The Political and Economic Evolution of the South.

The outcome of the Civil War in the South was nothing short of a revolution.

The ruling class, the law, and the government of the old order had been subverted.

As the years passed, these tendencies gained momentum.

The already huge colored quarters in some northern cities were widely expanded as whole counties in the South were stripped of their colored laborers.

The race question in its political and economic aspects became less and less sectional, more and more national.

The South was drawn into the mainstream of national life.

Of the contemporaries of Hume, the two who stand next to him in the measure of their importance are undoubtedly Adam Smith and Thomas Reid.

The one is the acknowledged founder of political economy as a distinct branch of knowledge, the other is the recognised head of the Scottish school in philosophy.

But even as regards these distinguished men, a pre-eminence must be assigned to Hume, for apart from his influence, probably neither of the two would have written as he did.

To Hume, as we shall find, more than to any living man, Adam Smith was indebted for the leading ideas of his principal work, and from Hume, as best understanding the completeness and value of the exposition, the wealth of nations received its first emphatic welcome.

Next year he removed to Jack's Land, another of Edinburgh's tall tenements, in the Canongate.

Here he remained till his purchase in 1762 of a house of his own in James' Court.

It was shortly after this removal to Edinburgh in 1752 that Hume published his Political Discourses, mostly on subjects of political economy, and as remarkable in their grasp of sound principles as in their anticipations of some of the later doctrines of Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations.

He speaks of this book as the only work of mine that was successful on its first publication, and informs us that it was well received abroad and at home.
