The economic impact of the COVID-19 virus is only just beginning to hit as tens of thousands of workers lose their jobs in Australia and trillions of dollars are spent by governments internationally to bailout business. Analysts are already predicting an economic crisis on a scale potentially bigger than the Great Depression of the 1930s. On this episode, Roz is joined by Rick Kuhn, a Marxist economist, writer, political activist, and honorary Associate Professor at the Australian National University to discuss how we can understand the economic situation.*
