In this week’s Debunking Economics podcast entrepreneur and venture capitalist Nick Hanauer joins Phil Dobbie and Steve Keen to look at the inevitability of this crisis. Nick says it’s all down to the preoccupation with small government. How do we solve it? Massive government spending and the creation of new money. That’s happening. What have we learnt? Steve hopes it’ll enable us to focus on the bigger issue, what we’re doing to the planet.
