UWFB: An Economy for Everyone During a Pandemic

Anne and Kevin speak with Dr. Steven Hail, lecturer in economics at the University of Adelaide. As a result of the coronavirus we are all in lockdown -- consuming less, perhaps learning more about Modern Monetary Theory! Businesses are in the process of shedding hundreds of thousands of workers, and overseas supplies are drying up. What can we expect? What immediate action can the government take? How can we take care of everyone in Australia? How can we do a better job of this in the future?Send feedback on this episode to [email protected].
