Tasmania’s Debt Dilemma with Saul Eslake

As alterações para o limite do défice que a Alemanha se prepara para aprovar, são uma revolução? Os sinais de que os EUA serão numa ditadura já estão todos lá? Os piores regimes instalam-se passo a passo? Portugal está no mesmo caminho? Aguiar Branco tem-no trilhado? Quem poderá ser o maior responsável pela quedo do governo?
Que cenários resultarão das eleições? A abstenção sobe com o Chega? E o PS e PSD?


Ep. 250 - O relaxamento alemão; A ditadura nos EUA; A queda do governo em Portugal

In this insightful interview, Michael Knox, Chief Economist at Morgans, discusses Australia's growing debt and current account deficit, as outlined in the 2025 federal budget. With projections showing a significant increase in debt over the next few years, Michael explores the implications for future generations and whether the government's economic strategies are sustainable. He also reflects on historical warnings from former Prime Minister Paul Keating about the risk of becoming a "banana republic." Tune in for a deep dive into Australia's financial outlook and the challenges ahead.

Michael Knox - The Federal Budget Fallout (ABC Radio)

This week’s episode comes from Steve’s recent appearance on The Tracy Show, where he was invited to talk about MMT with host Tracy Carson, who had some questions.  

Tracy: Okay, I’m going to tell you what I think I understand about Modern Monetary Theory or MMT. I’m just going to go with ‘MMT’. The federal government can pretty much generate money out of thin air. 

 Steve: It does. It’s the only way it works. Yes.  

Tracy: Okay. Okay, so I got that part right. [pause] Basically, that’s pretty much where I’m at in terms of my understanding. 

Actually, it wasn’t the only thing Tracy understood. She knew that states rely on taxes, unlike the federal government. She knew that federal budget deficits are not a crisis. And she knew that those simple facts have huge implications for the government’s ability to provide national health care, for example, while state-based health care is virtually impossible and propels a race to the bottom. In a nation that has spent $8 trillion on war, post 9/11, there is no excuse for poverty. There’s an explanation, but no excuse.

The conversation covers the destruction of essential services through deliberate under-funding, with austerity as a policy choice. They look at the illusion of the “national debt” at home as well as IMF manipulation of the global South. 

Many of us have experienced moments when we clearly recognize the truth yet lack the knowledge or language to explain it. In seeking the tools to fully articulate it, Tracy is actively moving herself beyond those moments. We should all be so motivated. Learning MMT is a process. Others will hear about it from her and begin their own journey.  When it comes to knowledge, there are no resource constraints. #EachOneTeachOne
