FET #78: Reddit finance discovers superannuation's failures, plus Reddit responses and a note on One Nation
<p>Regular co-host Jonathan Gadir encounters a heated debate on the AusFinance subreddit about the merits of Australia’s superannuation system, something Cameron often raises. </p><p>Also, we comment on the emergence of culture within subreddits and respond to some of the comments on Reddit about Cameron’s work. The rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation becomes somehow relevant to the whole conversation too!</p><p>Enjoy this chat and leave a comment with your thoughts. </p><p>Starting next week at FET is a four-part analysis that I hope will become a reference point for understanding key concepts related to housing production. </p><p>* Why a feasible change of use is different from commercial feasibility</p><p>* How prices determine the cost of building new homes via choices of density and quality</p><p>* Housing supply is not new housing production</p><p>* Why landbanking is a normal market outcome of balancing present and future housing</p><p>As always, please like, share, comment, and subscribe.

FET #77: What's the modern monetary theory (MMT) view on inflation and the interest burden of public debt?
<p>Friend of the show <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/8142624-mike-fellman">Mike Fellman</a> joins me to chat about all things macroeconomic. We pick up on a previous conversation I had with <a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/profile/21748571-moses-sternstein">Moses Sternstein</a> about the interest burden from public debt. </p><p>Mike has a deep understanding of bond markets, macro policy, and money. It was a good chance to ask him about Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which is a school of thought in economics that focuses on monetary operations and both sides of the monetary balance, which includes the debt (the liability to the government) and the asset (the Treasury bond held by the public or other organisation). </p><p>Is the MMT view really that different from the standard macro view? And where does a lot of the fear about public debt come from? Who really bears the cost of interest on public debt?</p><p>We dig into these questions. Enjoy the conversation. </p><p>Follow Mike’s terrific Housing Hell Substack here.</p><p>As always, please like, share, comment, and subscribe. Thanks for your support.

FET #76: Moses Sternstein on the housing shortage myth, demographics, and debt
<p> Moses Sterstein runs the terrific Random Walk substack. I stumbled across his creative insights a couple of years ago when someone sent me an article he wrote about the mythical housing shortage. </p><p>Since then, I have kept track of his views on evolving macro-economic and demographic trends. </p><p>This conversation was a chance for me to see how his independent analysis had led him to some similar views to mine on housing markets, but also test where we differ on the likely social, economic and political effects of long-term demographic trends. </p><p>It was a surprise to hear that we have both arrived at a similar view on the application of monetary policy being too broad for many of the industry-specific inflation concerns we have today. </p><p>Enjoy this conversation and find Moses on Twitter <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/MosesSternstein">here</a> and at his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.therandomwalk.co">Random Walk Substack</a> below. </p><p>As always, please like, share, comment, and subscribe.
