#9 Patricia & Christian: MMT Activism, the Job Guarantee and automatic stabilisers
Nov 6, 2018
Dive into the world of Modern Monetary Theory as the hosts explore how government spending isn't directly tied to taxes. They make a compelling case for a job guarantee as a way to tackle unemployment and ensure economic stability. The conversation boldly challenges conventional political discourse and reframes government budgets as moral documents prioritizing societal needs. With humor and critical analysis, they navigate the complexities of universal healthcare and discuss effective activism, especially in the age of social media.
