Economist Steve Keen joins us to unpack Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and what it reveals about U.S. economic thinking. We dive deep into current U.S. fiscal policy, the ongoing trade war, and whether any of it is actually grounded in economic logic — or just political spectacle.🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴Steve explains why fears of large budget deficits are a myth, rooted more in superstition than real macroeconomics.

Why are social programs slashed while big banks get blank checks? In this episode, we dive into The Bailout State with author Martijn Konings to uncover the political economy behind financial bailouts and austerity. Konings reveals how government guarantees and monetary policy create a system that rewards asset holders and tightens the screws on working people. From the postwar welfare state to the 2008 crisis and the post-pandemic inflation panic, we explore how the state props up finance while leaving the rest behind.🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar 🔴🔴🔴If you've ever wondered why the market always gets rescued—but you don't—this is the conversation you can't afford to miss.🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴

In this explosive interview, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson breaks down why U.S. foreign policy is unraveling across multiple fronts. From the brutal war in Gaza and Washington’s unwavering support for Israel, to Iran’s growing defiance and strategic alliances, to the grinding NATO–Russia conflict in Ukraine — Johnson argues that the U.S. is overextended, miscalculating, and losing credibility.
