Welcome to episode five of Modern Money Doughnuts (MMD), hosted by Steven Hail and Gabrielle Bond. MMD is an international show about modern monetary theory and ecological economics.

(All episodes of Modern Money Donuts can be found on this page by Modern Money Labs.)

This week on Modern Money Doughnuts, we ask Kairin van Sweeden, Executive Director of Modern Money Scotland, to explain why it is vital for an independent Scotland to have a currency-issuing government, about her campaign for a Scottish job guarantee and about what motivated her and others to take the UK government to court over fossil fuel subsidies last December.

Here's the video from which this audio comes from. (The audio is unedited.)
