Good grief, I'm glad I know Andrew personally and from the school. Because listening to this "interview" would teach me almost nothing at all except this clown Channer's views. Is he interviewing himself? I hope Andrew gets his own show.

I don't know how Mazzone put up with this guy. Channer is a certified idiot. This seemed more like the cross-examination of a hostile witness than an interview. He just doesn't get it, he'll never get it -- it's like trying to describe the earth as being round to someone in the stone age -- Speaking of stones, a pet rock has more intellectual depth than Mr. Channer.

Even though I love Henry George, I couldn't watch the whole interview, because Harold Channer was simply too annoying.

The interviewer asks again and again "what is the salient difference between land and capital?" and the answer he wanted is simple, capital can be replaced by the worker, the land cannot; therefore, the bargaining position for capital vs labour is completely different than labour vs land. Andrew did a good job up against one of the most obtuse and irrelevant interviewers i have ever seen.

George opposed monopolies, and corporate ownership is inherently monopolistic. A full employment economy must reduce the power of corporations.

George advanced a "labor and capital goods theory of property," observing

that exchange value is determined by market forces not the amount of labor involved.

These are issues the exchange could have brought out but did not.

"A full employment economy must reduce the power of corporations."

this is fascinating...Did Henry George know about the power of corporations when he wrote his book (the one that Andrew Mazzone wants to rewrite)?

[paulagloria]

What is the answer? Lively discussion where all can dialogue in a meaningful way with diverse opinions.

I love Harold Channer - he needs to interrupt more

[matchbox555]

no he needs to shut the fuck up and let his guests present an argument/analogy/example before fucking interupting it. no wonder no one watches his show anymore, he is going senile.

[paulagloria]

I gave you information about the argument that didn't meet my needs for clarity. Could I ask you to address what exactly you did not understand and wish Andrew Mazzone had elaborated on but couldn't because Harold interrupted

[paulagloria]

well why don't you finish what Andrew started? I am all ears

[matchbox555]

i cant finish what andrew started because i will never know what he was going to say. some asshole called harold kept interupting him.

[matchbox555]

harold will you shut the fuck up and let your guests talk you fucking asshole.

37:40 Harold says that technology is what puts us at the top of the food chain but Mazzone does not answer this critical observation. Mazzone obscures this issue. He is no teacher to empower the poor. How about his comment at the beginning when some writer says his ideas are good but his writing is bad - he is re doing Henry George? Who gives him the power to do this?

Who cares? No one except a few who understand Henry George and in this way an entire school and teaching gets co-opted.
