AIDS Big Pharma Billionaires Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) Clara Mattei Economics Episode Jessica Wildfire The Sentinel Intelligence Tulsa WSUM

TMI 01/31/2025 – Clara Mattei Introduces Us to the Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE), The History of AIDS & How Big Pharma Kills for Profit, Obsolescence Was Invented to Make Billionaires, more

We are joined once again by Professor Clara Mattei, Director of the nascent Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at the University of Tulsa. CHE’s entire mission is formed around breaking the grip of the exploitative model of economics we are all too familiar with and finding a better path. Listen in to give the middle finger to Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand.

Then, we look at how the history of the AIDS epidemic is rife with examples of how Big Pharma places its unquenchable thirst for exorbitant profits far above any concern for the lives its wondrous medicines could save. Finally, Jessica Wildfire’s post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in – right to the top! All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 31, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

And it has its origins over a hundred years ago! Watch now so you know exactly what tricks are still being used to this day by those in power to keep the rest of us from improving things for EVERYONE, not just them.
