Episode #6: Oshan Jarow

Oshan Jarow is one of the premiere ‘contemplative economists’ exploring how it is that economic systems play in in the construction of conscious experience and, vice versa, the role that consciousness might play in revamping a normative dimension to economic development. He’s the host and producer of the Musing Mind podcast where he’s conversing with economists, philosophers, and practitioners about how we might live in the 21st century. With Kasey Klimes he’s also a co-founder of The Library of Economic Possibility, where he’s researching and writing about economic possibilities for the next paradigm, with topics including a basic income, co-determination, and land value taxation. 

 In this episode of MIP, Nate, Ryan and Oshan discuss Oshan's unique work in bridging economics with consciousness studies, the library of economic possibility, making sense of multiple economic paradigms, a federal jobs guarantee,  UBI, negative income tax, inflation concerns, a national income tax, the role of politics in economic, the promises of a land value tax, social wealth funds and inclusive ownership, minimum wage and labor unions, and a wealth tax.
