Pintonomics #4 - Degrowth

Description

Join Pintonomics for our 4th meetup to discuss how economics impacts our daily lives – and to see what happens when you mix monetary policy with a good pint (or sprite!) We'll be in the Sekforde from 6.30pm but there's no strict start time so drop by what ever time you can make it 🙌 Not required, but if you get a chance, check out this talk by **Jason Hickel** on "**How Degrowth Will Save the World**": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjHq-vQLAiY **Other typical topics include:** * How government spending really works in a sovereign currency system * Can the government ever run out of money? * Whats the role of taxes beyond “paying for” public services? * What actually causes inflation and how can it be avoided? * Why is there always money for bombs and bailouts? * Can different economic policies better address housing, healthcare, and climate change?
