We are still obsessed with growth for the sake of growth. Meanwhile, our climate system is breaking down and our economic systems are organised neither to deal with this nor to ensure economic security for all and social well-being.

It is time to change our economic thinking.

We wish #MMT founder Warren Mosler all the very best, with his plans to launch the USVI Green Party.

This is our favourite Minsky quote. It is why we have to challenge neoclassical economics. The straightjacket it imposes on those who work within its axioms actually prevents us asking the questions and finding the solutions we need across the rest of this century.

I don't think most other Masters degrees in economics have quite the same student feedback as ours. Here is a small sample, from last trimester - modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/:

We now have a recording of the very short closing talk Steven did at the recent Bristol #MMT conference. It was very brief as we were about to run out of time in the venue. There was a call to action.

It is not bond vigilantes who are in charge of the bond market in major economies. It is central bankers. Central banks are generally owned by their currency-issuing governments, and even if this were not the case, must always act within a legislative framework determined by their political masters.

Please could a journo ask Rachel Reeves the question Maren asked Bernstein in Finding the Money? Why does the Govt feel it depends on borrowing its own currency, which it issues, from bond vigilantes? Then don't let her get away with a nonsensical answer. Same question to Jim Chalmers in Australia.

We ought to make more of our program being at the top of the list the International Society for Ecological Economics recommends, but we are terrible at marketing. Maybe you can help us tell people.

You know that guy Larry Summers. Every time I watch Finding the Money, and I bet I have seen it even more times than Kelton, at the moment he calls MMT "voodoo economics" I am reminded of the following.

We had a fantastic time in both Bristol & Amsterdam.

Very much looking forward to the next three weeks, as we move from Adelaide to Bristol to Amsterdam to Sheffield to London to Vienna, and all too briefly to Pagham, for the anti-austerity conference, three #MMT workshops and one other event.
