Steve for the NSW Senate
Steve Keen is standing for the Senate in NSW. What was he thinking! I ask on this week’s FREE Debunking Economics podcast.
Debunking Economics
Phil talks to Prof Steve Keen on the lies and misunderstands of the economics profession
Inflation, the next pandemic?
COVID is causing massive supply chain disruption. We’re told its only temporary, but what if it’s not?
Has QE become MMT by another name?
Central banks have amassed trillions in government bonds. Do they seriously expect to reduce that to xero? If not, I ask Steve keen, haven’t they embarked on MMT by another name?
Boris’ Healthcare Reform is Grossly Unjust and Economically Damaging
A reduction in Universal Credit, low wage rises for public sector workers, and now an increase in tax to pay for the health service. Does Boris realy want to level up?
What’s down the China road?
An increasingly self-sufficient autocratic China able to write off its own debt. What could possibly go wrong. @ProfSteveKeen and me on the latest Debunking Economics podcast.
The economics of scarce resources
If mineral resources become increasingly scarce, what does that do for the broader economy? What will change our behaviour?
The economics of education
With inflated A level grades more people than ever are off to uni. I ask Steve Keen if this will add to productivity and increase GDP? If not, what’s the point?
The mineral supply crisis that’s rarely talked about
How can we assume cheap energy and commodities will always be available. We’re left with low grade deposits in challenging postcodes, says Simon Michaux in this week’s FREE Debunking Economics podcast.
The economy after the pandemic
Governments are keen to claw back the money they’ve spent on the pandemic. But, as Steve Keen explains, there is another way.
Why no Marxist revolution?
This week @profstevekeen explains why a revolution never really happened in the way Marx prescribed, but how it could when workers fight for their part of a shrinking global economy.
THE TWITTERATI
What a shame the Met can't elevate the Sue Gray findings to the European courts, just to buy Boris even more time.
