#172 Steven Hail: Bond Vigilantes! Inflation! The National Debt! The Excuseonomics Killing The Planet 

Money Lab

Welcome to episode 123 of Activist #MMT - podcast. Today's part two of my two-part conversation with Steven Hail, discussing the new and unprecedented graduate program in economics of sustainability. The program, which starts in September 2022, will be run by Torrens University, is , and is primarily developed by Steven and Australia's leading ecological economist, Phil Lawn. Last week in , Steven talked about how the program came to be, the resistance to be expected from neoclassical economics departments, and the basics of ecological economics. Today, he gives an overview of the program's curriculum, and the various degrees a student can pursue. I'm determined to earn a masters degree. After that then, well, we'll see. Before we begin, a minor clarification: Near the end, I say my studies with Asad Zaman might be worthy of an elective. Although integrating a course into the curriculum I think would be great (and I believe to actually much more unique than is currently available), I only mean getting a potential credit for myself, for independent study.  If you like what you hear, then I hope you might consider becoming a monthly patron of Activist #MMT. Patrons have exclusive access to several full-length episodes, right now. A full list is , each with a brief highlight. Patrons also get the opportunity to ask my academic guests questions, such as my recent episode . They also support the development of my large and growing collection of . To become a patron, you can start by going to . Every little bit helps a little bit, and it all adds up to a lot. Thanks.  And now, let's get right back to my conversation Steven Hail. Enjoy.

Ep124[2/2]: Steven Hail: New economics of sustainability graduate program (Torrens and Modern Money Lab)

Welcome to episode 123 of Activist #MMT - podcast. Today's part two of my two-part conversation with Steven Hail, discussing the new and unprecedented graduate program in economics of sustainability. The program, which starts in September 2022, will be run by Torrens University, is backed by Modern Money Lab, and is primarily developed by Steven and Australia's leading ecological economist, Phil Lawn. Last week in  part one, Steven talked about how the program came to be, the resistance to be expected from neoclassical economics departments, and the basics of ecological economics. Today, he gives an overview of the program's curriculum, and the various degrees a student can pursue. I'm determined to earn a masters degree. After that then, well, we'll see. Before we begin, a minor clarification: Near the end, I say my studies with Asad Zaman might be worthy of an elective. Although integrating a course into the curriculum I think would be great (and I believe to actually much more unique than is currently available), I only mean getting a potential credit for myself, for independent study. If you like what you hear, then I hope you might consider becoming a monthly patron of Activist #MMT. Patrons have exclusive access to several full-length episodes, right now. A full list is here, each with a brief highlight. Patrons also get the opportunity to ask my academic guests questions, such as my recent episode  with Warren Mosler. They also support the development of my large and growing collection of learn MMT resources. To become a patron, you can start by going to patreon.com/activistmmt. Every little bit helps a little bit, and it all adds up to a lot. Thanks. And now, let's get right back to my conversation Steven Hail. Enjoy.

Welcome to episode 120 of Activist #MMT. Today I talk with Australian MMT economist Steven Hail, about the new and unprecedented  graduate program in economics of sustainability. The program, which starts in September 2022, will be run by Torrens University, is backed by Modern Money Lab, and is primarily developed by Steven and Australia's leading ecological economist, Phil Lawn. (Here's a link to  part two. A list of the audio chapters in this episode can be found at the bottom of this post.) Today in part one, Steven talks about how the program came to be, the potential resistance expected from the classical economics departments, and the basics of ecological economics. Next week in part two, Steven gives an overview of the curriculum and potential degrees students can pursue, from a graduate diploma to a PhD. Until now, this podcast has served as my way to give myself, as close as possible, the education I convinced I would never be able to return to. This is because of the potential cost, student debt (again!), and the impossibility of forsaking income and uprooting my family. I have two little boys, my wife has a job as an elementary school teacher, and we just purchased our first home in summer 2021. Torrens changes everything. At $2,200 of course (given  the current AUS-US exchange rate), it's expensive, but an entire degree at Torrens is about the cost of a single year in the predatory education system in the United States. Also, Torrens provides online access for those outside of Australia, recording the lectures for those whose time zones and work hours are incompatible with an in-person schedule. This makes it possible for anyone, anywhere, with any work schedule, to take any and all of these courses. Direct in-person interaction with professors and fellow students will be scheduled multiple times each week, and there's always direct access to administrators when needed. Needless to say, I am very excited. You can find out more about the economics of sustainability graduate program in Torrens by going to modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/. Finally, before we begin, I want to clarify: I very clumsily asked a question which Steven understandably misunderstood. What I mean to say was: Con (Costa) Michalakis is the second wealthy person that I'm aware of, to care enough about MMT, to use his own resources – and to encourage those in his network to pool theirs – in order to further develop and spread MMT. (I also meant to say that the truly elite benefit from the masses not understanding how the economy works.) And now, onto my conversation with Steven Hail. Enjoy.

Ep123[1/2]: Steven Hail: New economics of sustainability graduate program (Torrens and Modern Money Lab)

Welcome to episode seven of Modern Money Doughnuts (MMD), hosted by Steven Hail and Gabrielle Bond. MMD is an international show about modern monetary theory and ecological economics. (All episodes of Modern Money Donuts can be found on this page by Modern Money Labs.) This week Gabie interviews Steven about his reasons for leaving an 'Ivy League' university and what he and Phil Lawn are planning to do to further MMT and ecological economics education at Torrens University. This week we are one step closer to being able to offer postgraduate courses including Masters and PhD qualifications in MMT and ecological economics: the two essential elements needed to create a sustainable and prosperous future for people and the planet. From Gabie: "If you're thinking about postgrad studies in #MMT or ecological economics or both, have a listen! We will be offering online courses via Torrens University from September this year fingers crossed." Here's the video from which this audio comes from. (The audio is unedited.) MMD is hosted by KRTD Media, and the audio podcast is, for now, hosted by Activist #MMT.

#108 Steven Hail & Gabrielle Bond: Achieving Sustainable Prosperity

Three books we think could change the world; "The Deficit Myth", by Stephanie Kelton, "Doughnut Economics", by Kate Raworth, and "The Mission Economy", by Mariano Mazzucato, all describe how we can create a political vision in the 21st century. With the history of visionaries like Keynes, we're looking for the things to fight for and Jason Hickel has managed to provide it all in one succinct explanation with his book "Less is More". With the changing definitions of capitalism and the blurry words we use to describe the current state of things, Hickel is able to provide clear and solid ideas that need to change in order to start repairing the world. Steven Hail, Economist from the University of Adelaide and a regular guest of the show, joins Tim and David to discuss this fantastic book.If you have any thoughts, questions, or want to how to best manifest destiny and contribute to your community, contact us and send us an audio clip at timwhiffen@auscastnetwork.comWant to work with David?
