#8 - The Interview - Post-Keynesian Economics with Cartesian Otter

Post-Keynesian Economics is a school of heterodox economics that builds on the framework provided by John Maynard Keynes, Michał Kalecki, Piero Sraffa, and several other core contributors. It is unified in its approach to properly understanding economics by focusing on the principle of effective demand, the theory of income distribution & value, and a monetized production economy. Join us and Cartesian Otter as we walk through it.

#6 - The Interview - Wealth Taxation with SocialismDoneLeft

#6 - The Interview - Wealth Taxation with SocialismDoneLeft

Welcome back to The Interview! This week I’m talking to SocialismDoneLeft. He’s a prominent YouTuber that talks about socialism and progressivism. We’re talking wealth taxes. Specifically what they are, what’s the best collection mechanism for them, and their efficiency. How do we make sense of them?

Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders were pushing for wealth taxation in the 2020 Democratic primaries, Thomas Piketty, author of Capital in the 21st Century, pushed for a wealth tax as a mechanism of action against the growing inequality we see in the world. Wealth taxes have been implemented with varying success across European countries. We discuss all of these on this episode. Thanks for listening!
