This is the first in a six-video Christmas series exploring light not just as a festival symbol but as a political and economic necessity.
Light has always meant understanding, truth, and freedom. Darkness, by contrast, protects power and privilege.
In this video, I explore why learning is never neutral, why ignorance is often designed, and why economics that cannot be explained cannot be trusted. If democracy requires informed consent, then light is not optional; it is essential.
This channel exists to shed light on political economy. At Christmas, that feels like exactly the right place to begin.
