Warren Mosler, the founder of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), comes on 1Dime Radio to talk about MMT, what Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) gets wrong, Trump's tariffs, inflation, and an alternative for a better tax system.DISCLAIMER: The audio for this is not very good because Warren Mosler had bad internet on his end, but after some editing, now hopefully, it's still listenable.

In this episode of 1Dime Radio, we host Dr. Jane Hayward, a lecturer in Chinese Studies at the Lao China Institute at King's College. Dr. Hayward specializes in explaining China's political economy and misconceptions surrounding it. The conversation explores the role of state planning in China's market system, the impact of Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms, the significant shifts in labor and welfare policies, and the nuanced relationship between the Chinese Communist Party and its capitalist class. We also delve into the ideological revival under Xi Jinping and whether or not China is really transitioning to socialism.

In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by a friend of the show, Benjamin Studebaker, PhD in politics and international studies from the University of Cambridge, to discuss the recent tensions between Trump, Zelensky, Europe, Mexico, and Canada. Studebaker provides a radically nuanced take on the reasons why the US was so keen to back continue the Ukraine war previously and the logic behind Trump's administration's strategy with regard to Ukraine and NATO allies. Additionally, the episode discusses Trump's new tariffs on Canada and how they have radically altered the Canadian political landscape.

In The Backroom segment on Patreon, Benjamin and I have a very long conversation where we debate MMT (Modern Monetary Theory), the "Political Theological Problem," and the left-right binary.
