Alan Kohler: Who Should Control the Public Purse?

Anne & Kev speak with Alan Kohler who is one of the few financial commentators to give due consideration to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). We reminisce about the 1970s, a time of Kombi vans and major shifts in macroeconomic policy. We consider the causes of the current inflation, and whether to trust politicians with the public purse.

 

This is the first of two parts of our conversation with financial journalist, Alan Kohler.
