Great British Debt - All A Big Con?


Listen Later

Our guest this week is  William Thomson from the Scotonomics show.  

In this episode we challenge William with our questions.  He tackles those and shares his own thoughts on independence,  Modern Monetary Theory and the economic situation in general.   
Main topics:
00:02:00   Q1:  Can Scotland afford to be independent?
00:06:38   Q2:   But what about inflation?
00:11:37   Q3:   What about the Deficit?
00:16:48   Q4:   Should Scotland repay UK debt?
00:20:15   Q5    But doesn't borrowing create debt?
00:31:13   Q6    How will Scotland manage the economy?
00:32:25   Q7:   Does independence mean a decade of austerity?
00:41:42   Q8:   EU or EFTA?
00:47:13   Q9:   What if we had voted YES in 2014?
00:49:05   Q10  Next Steps?

Still have questions?  Let us know in the comments.
