Whenever an MMT-friendly economist speaks about the Job Guarantee (JG), it always sounds like a win-win-win. A win for the disadvantaged, a win for low-income workers, a win for our standard of living, a win for the environment. So why isn't a job guarantee at the forefront of workers' struggles?

We ponder this with former chief economist of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), Lachlan Kerwood-McCall.

Note: This is the second of two parts of our conversation with economist Lachlan Kerwood-McCall.
