Bankgeheimen van Joris Luyendijk

Journalist en antropoloog Joris Luyendijk bevond zich twee jaar onder bankiers en schreef er een boek over. Hij praat door waar het boek ophoudt.

‘Op een haar na heeft de financiële wereld in 2008 uw leven al onvoorstelbaar ontwricht. De diepere oorzaken hiervan zijn niet weggenomen, hoewel alle insiders weten wat ze zijn. Hoe kan dat?’. Dat is de grote vraag die Joris Luyendijk zich stelt in zijn recent verschenen boek ‘Dit kan niet waar zijn. Joris Luyendijk onder bankiers’.

In 2012 en 2013 schreef Luyendijk voor de Engelse krant The Guardian een ‘banking blog’ waarvoor hij op anonieme basis honderden medewerkers uit de financiële sector interviewde. VPRO Tegenlicht nodigde Joris Luyendijk uit om, met uitzicht op de Amsterdamse Zuidas, zijn bevindingen tegen het licht te houden. Zal een betrouwbare en veilige financiële sector voor altijd iets blijven waarvan wij alleen maar kunnen dromen?

Want wat is er nou daadwerkelijk veranderd sinds de val van de Amerikaanse zakenbank Lehman Brothers in september 2008? Wie Joris Luyendijk’s nieuwe boek leest, in feite een antropologie van ‘s werelds financiële sector, wordt er niet geruster op. Wie of wat houdt nu precies het bestaande systeem in stand?

Het DNA van de financiële sector is niet wezenlijk anders dan zeven jaar geleden en daadwerkelijk grote hervormingen blijven uit. Luyendijk maakt een levendige schets van de arena waarin de grote geldhandel plaatsvindt, en van de mensen die er onderdeel van zijn. De front-, middle- en back office; de snelle jongens, de tandenknarsers, en de twijfelaars.
Hij beschrijft het amorele karakter van de werknemers van Planet Finance waarin ongezond lange werkweken worden gedraaid met weinig tot geen baanzekerheid. Waarin de hoogte van salarissen en bonussen gelijkgesteld worden aan succes. Met als gevolg een totaal gemonetariseerde en op korte termijn een op gewin geënte kijk op de wereld.

Hoe kunnen we tot fundamentele hervormingen komen en weer greep krijgen op die losgezongen wereld van het flitsend kapitaal? Daarvoor zijn moedige politici nodig, verlichte nieuwe bankiers en kritische, dieper gravende journalisten. De eerste voorbeelden zijn er, volgens Luyendijk.

I was born in space

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2661044

The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth’s orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named “The Ark”, where about 2,400 people live. Resources are scarce and all crimes no matter their nature or severity are punishable by death (“floating”) unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark’s life support systems are found to be critically failing, one hundred juvenile prisoners are declared “expendable” and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet they’ve only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. However they discover that not all humanity was wiped out. There are people on Earth who survived the war, called “grounders” by the 100.

-Mmmmm

-Free from evil.
Yep.
-You ever think about the universe, Mr. Trout? What if our world is just like a tiny speck?
A tiny little speck.
-And there are giants looking down on us?
And every time we move…
-It’s actually them moving us.
Seems a bit tedious.
-Like that, just there, me blinking. That would’ve taken them a day.
Me moving my arm, 500 men!
-I mean, none of them are going home. They’re having to do this bit. And now this bit. And this bit. I mean, this should stop.
I think it throws up notions of free will.
-It’s too much. And then they would’ve had to have done me talking about the blink, and it never ends. I think they make a meal of it, to be honest. I don’t know how they get the time. They’ve got to have other jobs. It’s more like a hobby. You know, like stamp collecting, something you do in your free time.

Centers on Nessa Stein, a woman who inherits her father’s arms business and finds herself in a international maelstrom when as she continues to promote the reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

“Who do you trust? How do you know? By how they appear. Or what they say? What they do? How? We all have secrets. We all tell lies, just to keep them from each other. And from ourselves. But sometimes. Rarely. Something can happen that leaves you no choice. But to reveal it. To let the world see who you really are. Your secret self. But mostly, we tell lies. We hide our secrets from each other, from ourselves. And the easiest way to do this is not to even know that you are. So when you think about it like that. It’s a wonder we trust anyone at all.”

They take real, newsworthy events from our world as they’re happening (such as bin Laden’s assassination, NSA spying, etc) and report on them as if they were an actual news station that followed rational and moral guidelines, in a biting criticism of our popular press and a clever blurring of art and reality.

“Now, think about something. Think about what we are, you and me, and all the things that we know, all the places that we know, all the creatures, everything that you can imagine. Think about all the mountains, all the seas, and then begin to think about all the moons and the planets and the stars and the galaxies and the super galaxies and the super clusters and on and on and on. Think about it. You think it fills up everything. You think it’s vast and huge. 4.6%: it’s 4.6% of the totality. It’s nothing.”-Ra Uru Hu, The Human Design System – A Complete Guide

This is such pervasive conditioning, it became our current belief system

The Century of the Self

This series is about how those in power have used Freud’s theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, changed the perception of the human mind and its workings profoundly.

His influence on the 20th century is widely regarded as massive. The documentary describes the impact of Freud’s theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their engineering of consent. Among the main characters are Freud himself and his nephew Edward Bernays, who was the first to use psychological techniques in advertising. He is often seen as the father of the public relations industry.

Freud’s daughter Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychology, is mentioned in the second part, as well as Wilhelm Reich, one of the main opponents of Freud’s theories. Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. It also questions the modern way we see ourselves, the attitude to fashion and superficiality.

Happiness Machines. Part one documents the story of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his American nephew, Edward Bernays who invented Public Relations in the 1920s, being the first person to take Freud’s ideas to manipulate the masses.
