Phil Lawn: The Time Traveller's Purse

With great power comes great responsibility, and according to heterodox economist Phil Lawn, modern money comes with the greatest power of all -- the ability to time travel.

It is this ability to bring the future into the present, that has been harnessed by a few lucky individuals, such that Australia’s 47 billionaires now have more wealth than the bottom 7.7 million Australians. Billionaires in space is just a symptom of a bigger problem. Billionaires have taken control of the time machine we call modern money. It's time we wrested control back for the people who built the time machine in the first place!
