The Dissenter

Do not miss my latest interview, with Cahal Moran from Unlearning Economics - ‪@unlearningeconomics9021‬

We focus on his new book, Why We’re Getting Poorer. We start by talking about the 2008 economic crisis and the effects of austerity measures. We discuss what the economy is, and how wealth is created. We also discuss whether we need the capitalist class, who the essential workers are, the impact of billionaires in society and politics, and philanthropy. We then go through topics like social mobility, economic inequality, Universal Basic Income, how to measure poverty, the gender pay gap, the housing crisis, and inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. Finally, we talk about how we can make the world economy more resilient, and we discuss how we can fix our economic systems.
