Strong agree - and tend to be very narrow in their understanding of the economic challenges of the time. The entire post-war growth model was stuttering to an end and nobody really knew how to respond. Whitlam deserves more credit for insisting mass unemployment was not the way to resolve the crisis

Great article, really useful rejoinder as well to the assumptions underpinning the AI booster arguments that the only way to prosper in the new economy is to undercut established standards, rather than seeking to responsibly use new tech to elevate them

Thanks so much Lauren! That's lovely to hear

Thanks so much Eleanor, really glad you enjoyed it! The next episode (next week) is on the Russian Rev with Dr Natasha Wilson

Hope you enjoy it!
