  • Modern Monetary Theory: Miracle or Mirage?
    In this bonus episode of the New Politics podcast, host David Lewis unpacks Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) – once dismissed as fringe but now at the centre of global economic debate. We explore its intellectual roots, from Georg Friedrich Knapp and Abba Lerner to modern voices like Warren Mosler, Bill Mitchell, L. Randall Wray and Stephanie Kelton, and examine how MMT shapes today’s policy battles over climate change, unemployment and inequality. From Japan’s record debt levels to US COVID stimulus, Canada’s healthcare experiments and China’s infrastructure spending, real-world tests are mounting, sparking fierce clashes between advocates who see MMT as a tool for resilience and critics who warn of runaway inflation. Is it the future of economic management or a dangerous illusion?#ModernMonetaryTheory #MMTExplained #EconomicsPodcast #FiscalPolicy2025 #GreenNewDeal #GlobalEconomy

  • The China Syndrome and the Big Liberal Split
    This week, we expose Australia’s latest media hysteria: Xi Jinping’s speech to commemorate defeating fascism in 1945 mistranslated into a China scare campaign, recycled “Dictator Dan” attacks on Daniel Andrews, Jacinta Price’s divisive immigration comments sparking outrage and more Liberal Party chaos, the Zionist intimidation at Bondi Beach, Lachlan Murdoch’s takeover of News Corporation, and Victoria’s historic Indigenous Treaty.  #AusPol #ChinaRelations #JacintaPrice #LiberalParty #FreePalestine #MurdochMedia #VictoriaTreaty #NewPoliticsPodcast  Support New Politics, just $5 per week.   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com  Song listing:‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.‘Arion [Nothing Changes Under The Sun]’, Blue States.‘A Stranger In Moscow’, Tame Impala.‘Kya Kyana’, Flewnt.‘Sign O’ The Times’, Prince, remix by Michael Saxom.

  • The White Shade of Fascism
    The “March for Australia” rallies claimed to be about housing and migration, but quickly exposed themselves as platforms for white nationalism, racism, and neo-Nazi activity. We break down how politicians, right-wing media, and even the Prime Minister’s weak response helped legitimise extremism, while also exposing the pro-Israel propaganda behind the Gold Coast Mayors Summit and Labor’s growing secrecy on FOI, asylum seekers, and whistleblower protections.

  • The Iran Ultimatum, A House Of Cards and Climate Chaos
    Housing affordability dominates the headlines as the Albanese government repackages its 5% deposit scheme for first home buyers, but with global evidence showing such policies push up prices without fixing supply, is this just more political spin? We examine why restrictive zoning, slow planning, and the lack of social housing remain the real barriers to affordable homes, and the government needs to understand that housing is a human right, not just an investment. Australia has expelled Iran’s ambassador, but it raises questions about the credibility of ASIO, double standards on Israel’s war crimes, and whether this move is linked to Australia’s upcoming recognition of Palestine. And the Coalition’s climate wars are tearing the party apart yet again, with Nationals MPs, Gina Rinehart, and conservative media undermining net zero while corporate Australia and voters demand action – leaving Sussan Ley’s leadership on the brink and Labor with a political gift that just keeps on giving.  #AusPol #HousingCrisis #ClimateChaos #MiddleEastPoliticsSupport New Politics:   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com  Song listing:   ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.‘Man of Constant Sorrow’, Skeewiff.‘The Last Goodbye’, Odesza.‘Get Back’, The Beatles (remix).

  • Reform, Resistance and Netanyahu’s Rant
    We unpack the government’s Economic Reform Roundtable, where Anthony Albanese brought together business, unions, and welfare groups to debate productivity, equity, housing, and workplace reform – but with predictable demands and little real change on offer. We examine the growing push for a four-day working week, a reform once dismissed as radical but now backed by evidence of higher productivity, better wellbeing, and lower emissions.On the international stage, Benjamin Netanyahu’s attack on Albanese over Palestine recognition backfired, exposing his crumbling authority while highlighting Australia’s potential shift towards sanctions and accountability for Israel’s actions in Gaza. Back home, Labor consolidates power despite Albanese’s low personal popularity, the Liberals under Sussan Ley remain stuck in negativity, and Tasmanian Labor tries to arrest its chaos under new leader Josh Willie.#AusPol #NewPoliticsPodcast #TasPol  Support New Politics, just $5 per month: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.com  Song listing:   ‘Even Better Than The Real Thing’, A 440 VS U2 instrumental remix.‘Confessions Of A Window Cleaner’, Ed Kuepper.‘Whisper’, Coldplay.‘Familiar’, Agnes Obel.‘Wild’, Spoon.‘Get Back’, The Beatles (remix).
