Episode 31: Myth busting the economy, with Ian Hussey
Ian Hussey of the Parkland Institute joins The Forgotten Corner this week to break down some of the talking-point myths about the economy that have been ingrained into the public for decades.
Are we actually helping the collective by focusing on the profits of big business at the expense of workers’ livelihood? Does “increasing productivity” mean more jobs? Are the unemployed motivated by social support to stay unemployed? Do we really spend more money than we should? Or more than we can afford?
Even if you know the answer to these questions is “no,” you know governments and big media disagree. Join Ian and our hosts to break down some of these problematic narratives, and what we can do to change our economic focus, and therefore, reality.
