Blind Insights - Federal Job Guarantees (Special Guest Steven Hail)

Nations around the world are trying a variety of policy settings to cope with the unique set of economic circumstances that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused. In Australia we have guaranteed payments to a large portion of the population, and provided welfare to those affected at previously inconceivable levels. The neoliberal establishment is going to have a hard time returning to status quo after spending so much to keep the country afloat. David and Tim are joined by Dr Steven Hail from the University of Adelaide, a prominent Australian Modern Monetary Theory Economist, to explain the current circumstances and comment on the prospective future.If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comSupport the show: https://auscast-network.myshopify.com/collections/blind-insightsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Economics of a Post-Pandemic World (Special Guest Steven Hail) - Blind Insights

Phil Lawn

In this raw episode get an inside look at how to calculate the expenses of inaction on climate with a candid and minimally-produced conversation with Ecological Economist at the University of Adelaide, Phil Lawn. For context, this conversation was recorded in late 2019, so Tim and David met with Phil in the studio to gain a very insightful and descriptive basis for Phil's work. We often talk about the cost of climate action in financial terms or the impact it will have on our wellbeing or our capacity to make things and keep lights on. This episode reveals the lack of logic in framing the conversation that way, and how inaction costs not just the environment, but everything within it, including us. With a holistic look at real resources, we can gain a greater perspective on everything that contributes to our wellbeing and our synergy with the world around us. Ecological economics is a return to including all kinds of capital in the equations, from social capital to natural capital, to financial capital, and everything in between.If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comSupport the show: https://auscast-network.myshopify.com/collections/blind-insightsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Between Australia's media, Government, and cultural practices the Novel Corona Virus has highlighted a lot of problems for us to deal with now and into the future.

Blind Insights - Patterns of a Good Society (Special Guest Nicholas Christakis)

We measure success by income and productivity, yet this misses the mark for comparing countries long term. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an inadequate measurement for ecological economist Phil Lawn from the University of Adelaide. David and Tim caught up with Phil to discuss the shortcomings of GDP and the alternatives to measure the genuine progress of a country, it's a lot more complicated than you may think, and the implications for resource use and the welfare of people are massive.If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comSupport the show: https://auscast-network.myshopify.com/collections/blind-insightsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Morris Prendergast

David and Tim chat to one of David's former students who has successfully written an essay that stopped David in his tracks with the significance of the writing. Morris joins us in the studio to discuss the matter of evil in the real world. Given the word's religious history, it's not something we use in a serious way very often, but can and should we use evil to describe the wretched acts we see humans commit across the globe? Does such a loaded word have any utility? Philosophers and theologians have exalted and banished the word in arguments for centuries, but what does a pragmatic use look like? Just a warning, this episode contains confronting content. If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comSupport the show: https://auscast-network.myshopify.com/collections/blind-insightsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blind Insights - Does Evil Exist? (Special Guest Morris Prendergast)

Sam Burt

It's tax time in Australia and the Prime Minister Scott Morrison has passed a tax break for people to stimulate the economy. What are you meant to do with this money? Spend it! What would you do if you had even more guaranteed free money? There's such a thing as a Basic Income Guarantee (also known as Universal Basic Income) which is an idea that has been put forth by progressive and conservative libertarians since the 18th century. What are the costs and the benefits of this system and why does it bother so many people? Imagine what you could do if you knew you could survive when your career falls to pieces... David and Tim are joined by economics expert Sam Burt to discuss the idea and its proponents.If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to present your argument, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comSupport the show: https://auscast-network.myshopify.com/collections/blind-insightsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
