24.01.2022 Join author Professor Stephanie Kelton for a discussion of her New York Times bestselling debut book, The Deficit Myth, in conversation with ANZ Chief Economist Richard Yetsenga. A leading thinker and internationally-recognised advocate of modern monetary theory, Professor Kelton’s work has sparked debate in economic, financial and political circles across the globe. We've been thinking about budget deficits and government spending in the wrong ways, Kelton argues, on both si...des of the political aisle. As a currency issuer, the federal government isn’t subject to the same kinds of budgetary constraints as a household. Rather than asking how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton argues economists should ask: which deficits actually matter? What is the best way to balance the risk of inflation with the benefits of building an economy that is more broadly prosperous, safer, cleaner, and more secure? Through illuminating insights about government debt, deficits, inflation, taxes, the financial system, and financial constraints on the federal budget, The Deficit Myth challenges conventional understandings of our government’s spending and points a new way forward for dealing with important issues such as poverty, inequality, tackling climate change, creating jobs, and building infrastructure.

21.01.2022 COVID, care and wellbeing: What do we really value? Although the COVID-19 pandemic has put the brakes on Australia's paid market economy, our unpaid non-market economy the cooking, cleaning and caring taking place within Australians' households is still going strong. Furthermore, the factors that truly matter for wellbeing have come into sharper focus as the crisis unfolds. To a large extent, it's women who are performing the essential frontline jobs and the unpaid caring... roles that are keeping society functioning during this time. Our panel will explore how economists think about wellbeing. Should we place a higher value on the care work and the non-market activities that are essential for a well-functioning society? If yes, how this might be practically achieved? And, if the COVID crisis doesn't prompt a reassessment of the value of care and the contribution of women's work, what will? Join panellists Catherine Fox (journalist and author), Dr Suzy Morrissey (University of Auckland), Emma Dawson (Per Capita), and Associate Professor Julie Smith (ANU). The panel discussion will be moderated by WEN National Chair Dr Leonora Risse (RMIT University and Harvard Kennedy School). https://esacentral.org.au//covid-care-and-wellbeing-what-d

07.01.2022 Have been contacted with the following message, if anyone wishes to answer please follow the link. Hi YESA, My name is Tyler Hobby and I am a year 11 student at Loxton High School currently doing my research project and my question is Would Socialism be an effective economic model to improve Australia’s current economic issues?. Since the YESA are qualified within this area. I was wondering if you could answer some questions about my topic? 1. Why do you think Socialism sp...eaks to younger people? 2. In what way would socialism benefit the middle class and ways that it does not? 3. Do you think that there would be a positive impact or negative impact on the Australian economy and why? 4. In a socialized system do you think that it would be possible for centralized healthcare and schooling without it completely blowing the national budget? 5. Would and if so, how much would tax rates increase for each bracket if they were to go to a socialist regime? Could you also please forward this survey to other people that you might know. Thanks, Tyler hobby https://forms.gle/GwP1HpMgnc4DWA1o6 See more
