Prominent Australian economist Dr Nicholas Gruen gives his thoughts on both David Graeber's BS jobs thesis and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)
I talk to friend and collegue Gene Tunny who's doing a great job running an economics podcast from Brisbane. From his shownotes:
David Graeber's BS jobs thesis (previously covered in EP95) lacks microeconomic foundations, according to Dr Nicholas Gruen. In EP97, Economics Explored host Gene Tunny speaks with Nicholas about BS jobs and also about Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Nicholas is a big believer in the potential of CBDC, which he has written about in the Financial Times.
