Insights For The Global South

The Deficit Myth

Every economy faces the triple-headed threats of climate change, ecological degradation and societal disruption, the latter linked to ongoing inequity and polarization of wealth.  Nowhere are these challenges more intense than in the global south, where traditional extractive economic development models have mired economies in foreign debt. 

New thinking is essential to help countries to build sustainable economies that benefit all of society - including modern monetary theory (aka MMT - it's not a typo in the heading).  This is particularly topical as COP 26 approaches and rich nations come under increasing pressure to provide support to help emerging nations the physical and economic dangers arising due to climate change. 

Join us for this special episode of ESGX Live, where we will explore the following questions:

• Why have traditional economic development models failed?
• What new approaches can be applied and how will they help?
• Where and how can we act to bring these ideas to life?

We're delighted to be joined by:

• Her Excellency Marlene Moses, former Ambassador to the United Nations for the country of Nauru
  
• Dr Stephanie Kelton, author of NY Times bestseller The Deficit Myth
• Dr Fadhel Kaboub, Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University, and President of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity
  

and of course your regular hosts Nigel Lake (Pottinger) and Paul Herman (HIP Investor).
