The Political Economy of the Netherlands Antilles and the Future of the Caribbean

This brilliant and engaging book shows that unemployment in the Netherlands Antilles can be reduced from 15% to 4.5% and that the national debt is not out of control at 84.4% but sustainable at 66.3% of Gross Domestic Product. Poverty and unemployment arise now from a wrong system of taxation. Already in 1889 the tax theorist Cohen Stuart gave the analogy of a bridge to clarify that workers should be exempt of taxes to allow them to support themselves at a decent minimum income. His rule has been neglected. Elimination of the tax void below the minimum wage, where taxes are officially levied but not collected since one cannot get a job there due to that minimum wage, will allow employment at the same net income and at no cost. Benefits can also be turned into wage cost subsidies. The Antilles have a bright future so that a split-up and debt-relief by the Netherlands are not needed. The future of the Caribbean lies in a Caribbean Union similar to the European Union. The PDF is online, the book comes at a price - but is temporarily out of print.

The Medieval Podcast | Understanding medieval chronicles with Lane Sobehrad

During the medieval period, there was a lot of interest in writing down what was going on in the world for the sake of future generations, but there's one massive problem with medieval chronicles: people didn't approach history in the Middle Ages the way we do today. This week, Daniele speaks with Dr. Lane Sobehrad about how medieval people wrote history, and how historians today can do their part to help future generations through outreach.

The Medieval Podcast | Divining the Future with Jo Edge

Not knowing the future is an intensely uncomfortable experience, which is why humans invented a clever system to predict the future through numbers, called onomancy. This week, Danièle speaks with Jo Edge about how onomancy works, who used it, and how it fit in with medieval theology.

In a Nutshell | Time as a Spiral with Laura De Vos

Time seems to be a pretty straightforward affair – or is it? What if history would not move ahead, but function as a spiral, like Indigenous understandings of time suggest? And how does this influence the way we can relate to nature? The tenth episode of In a Nutshell is dedicated to Indigenous perspectives on nature and time. This week’s guest, Laura, will explain how this can inform Indigenous activism – and why always looking seven generations into the future might also be a good policy for Western environmental policy. Laura De Vos is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Arts. They teach Indigenous Studies and American Studies courses and are currently researching North American Indigenous social movements. Would you like to learn more about indigenous ways of viewing the world and a spiralic understanding of time? Then follow Laura’s tip and read The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline.
