Common factor: fiscal framework straitjacket and lack of public investments\

Adding my drop to the ocean of criticism on the recent degrowth/post-growth 'review': none of the large-sample quantitative publications I have been involved in were included but ALL OF THEM discuss degrowth in HICs and need for post-growth policy as implications of the results.

Our latest public talk - Colleen is an ecological economist, resident in Vienna, and a lecturer on the online Modern Money Lab/Torrens Uni. Masters in the Economics of Sustainability An MMT Informed Degrowth Transition - Colleen Schneider youtu.be/MhUeDONeEsI?si… via YouTube

Our next trips might involve a 1-day interactive webinar which has more of an MMT focus than did Rethinking Capitalism. "Modern Money, the Treasury and the Reserve Bank". Sydney/Melbourne/Canberra/Brisbane. Maybe Perth (this time) and Hobart. Would anyone come, do you think?

.Andrew Fanning has been one of the leading lights of empirical degrowth research, doing meticulous data compilation and analysis on Kate Raworth's donut concept. But his research is not taken into account in a review paper decrying ... lack of empirical research in degrowth.

The real questions for the economics discipline are the independence of the RBA and the theoretical framework requiring unemployment to be used to target inflation. Both are a house of cards, yet deeply ingrained in the profession's mindset Uni of Sydney Economics

Can we please stop putting the RBA Gov up on a pedestal. Take the tiller away from the RBAs control. We treat the cash rate as if it can ‘control’ the economy, the record shows it doesn’t. Bcos their theories are wrong and don’t work. How long are we going to put up with this?

"The government generally spends more than it raises in tax. To fill this gap it borrows money" No, it does not. Bond issuance is not about borrowing pounds. You do not borrow that which you issue. It is about providing safe, interest-bearing assets. bbc.com/news/business-…

The current NZ Government is doing almost everything wrong.

No one yet knows which way this century will go. Neoliberalism, ecological collapse & war; or a just transition and a sustainable future? Shifting the discipline of economics is vital for avoiding the first & maximising the likelihood of the second. modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/
