You are not disposable

Modern economics behaves as if some people simply do not matter. In this video, I reject that idea outright.

Neoliberal economic policy treats people as costs, blames them for failures they did not create, and deliberately excludes those who do not contribute to its narrow definition of “productivity”. Disabled people, carers, the long-term sick, the elderly, migrants, and those in insecure work are all made disposable by design.

I explain why this is not an economic law but a political choice, how institutions like central banks enforce it, and why the result is an economy that fails by choice.

I also set out the alternative: a politics for people and a political economy of care, built on inclusion, dignity, and justice.

No one is disposable. You matter. And your job is to reject any politician whose actions suggest otherwise.
