2006an hasi genuen blog hau. Denbora aurrera doa, urteak joaten dira. Hamaika sarrera daude blogean.
Lehen sarrera hauxe zen: Marx hasiberrientzat1.
Orain Diru Teoria Modernoa hasiberrientzat izeneko liburuxka ari naiz idazten. Horretarako, besteak beste, blogean dauden hainbat sarrera erabiliko ditut: 2013ko urtarrileko sarrerekin hasi eta oraindik ez dakit zein urtetan bukatu.
Helburuak? Asko.
Erabil ditzadan Bill Mitchell-en hitzak, baliagarriak zaizkidalako.
Hona, bada, Mitchell-en aipu laburrak ondoko lantxo honetan: Never impose austerity in a slump2.
Mitchell-ek lehendabizi John Pilder-en artikulua gogoratzen digu3, non galdera batzuk azaltzen diren. Garrantzitsuenak ondoko biak:
(a) Why has so much journalism succumbed to propaganda?
eta
(b) Why are millions of people in Britain are persuaded that a collective punishment called “austerity” is necessary?
Baita Lehen Mundu Gerlako ondoko gogorapena ere:
(c) British prime minister David Lloyd George confided in C. P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian: “If people really knew [the truth] the war would be stopped tomorrow, but of course they don’t know and can’t know.”
Mitchell-ek honela segitzen du:
1) That is the purpose of my blog – to spread “the truth” to as many people as I can. To build radical networks which will challenge the mainstream and educate the public of the lies and myths that are used to weaken their prosperity and subdue their understanding.
2) Whether I will succeed is another question. But it is still growing in numbers and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is unquestionably growing.
3) So we keep typing, day after day.
Azken hiru puntuak, praktika barne, neureak egin nahi nituzke.

3 “This wonderful article from December 5, 2014 from John Pilger – War by media and the triumph of propaganda – is worth reading in this regard.”
