Scotonomics Episode 2 June2021 - The Truth About Govt Debt

How do you explain that the Government debt isn't really a debt? And that debt isn't always bad? For the last forty years we have been told a story that, well, just isn't true. In this episode of SCOTONOMICS we look at Government debt in general and specifically UK Government debt. We speak with Steven Hail. Steven is a modern monetary theory (MMT) economist, advocates for a voluntary and equitable job guarantee (JG), and is always happy to chat about MMT, Post-Keynesian economics, and ecological issues. He has recently published Economics for Sustainable Prosperity. https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783... He is currently a research scholar at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. http://www.global-isp.org/about-us/

The Week in Holyrood

Holyrood is now in recess, so this will be the last regular weekly  Week in Holyrood broadcast until Parliament reconvenes in August. 
Holyrood has been recalled for two Covid related items and Presenter Charles Fletcher is hoping to cover these for the Week in Holyrood, so look out for some one-offs during the summer recess.

The Week in Holyrood

Charles Fletcher brings us another roundup of all the highlights from the week in the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood

James E interviews author Frank McGroarty

Author, broadcaster, former ballroom dancer and indylive.radio DJ Frank "Frankie boy" McGroarty has just released the third of his trilogy of books based on his time as a redcoat at Butlins Ayr.  In this interview, James E and Frank chat about the creative process, what it was really like working at Butlins (spoiler:  yes, people regularly asked "what time is the midnight show on") and which of the characters is most closely based on Frank himself.
Frank has a website www.frankmcgroarty.com and his three books, "What time does the Midnight cabaret start", "how do you get the donkey up the stairs" and "don't mention hi-de-hi" are available at good bookshops.
