Conversations With History - Richard B. Freeman

Global Capitalism, Labor Markets, and Inequality -




Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Harvard labor economist Richard B. Freeman for a discussion of globalization and its complex consequences for inequality in national and global contexts. He analyzes the implications of the feminization of the labor market, the effect of immigration on national job markets, the shift of policy innovation in the U.S. from the federal government to the states, and the benefits of international labor standards.

@hermeschbird  That's superficial of you to judge his hat and his smile.

How about this: It is difficult to take a superficial person seriously. (meaning you)

I take Mr. Freeman seriously, you on the other hand are not presenting any substance.

[hermeschbird]

someone needs to pick this dude a better hat...he smiles way too much...difficult to trust a constant smiler...

I didnt realize I had such a legend as a teacher. I have THE Richard Freeman as my Econ teacher this semester.

God Bless these men! I have a lot of respect for them even though I am confused by much of their works. Many of the economists I know are not comfortable with people interactions, and can't approach a woman to save their life! Yet, they've devoted their lives to their cause..

The perceptions and interpretations in economics are subtle I grant you that, but they are far from nonexistent. J.K.Galbraith, Milton Friedman and others might have had other views. I have only read economics privately for 20 years, but I can tell you this much: capitalist indonesia is poor, capitalist argentina is poor, the same goes for hundreds of other countries.

Yes and the Jews did 9/11? Michael Parenti does not have a degree in Economics and he does not know jackshit about the field. But as you are the one to field the accusations against a renowned and respected academics, maybe you would want to indulge me in your qualifications? If there any other than running a channel dedicated to infantile conspiracy theories! What a stupid and ignorant comment you posted! Krugman and Freeman outrank you in every way possible you imbecile.

Exelente ! ; gracias ,desde argentina.

This is useless. economics do not need economists to tell us what they haven't understood. Go listen to Michael Parenti instead. He can tell you how the global economics work in five seconds. AND prove it with undeniable FACTS.
