Looking forward to getting back in the mornig. Gabie Bond (MMT CEO) gave us a rundown on how the Modern Money Lab started from a Sustainable Prosperity Action Group. Just found the group and it looks interesting, https://sustainable-prosperity.net.au/." Peter Maddock - Dec 7, 2024 'I'm coming back to ground after the conference in Melb. It went well and I met some people interested in MMT and Ecological Sustainability. A good mix of ages with a number working on or completed courses at https://modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/. One of the attendees was Anne Maxwell the 3CR Radio MMT program, https://www.3cr.org.au/radiommt. I'm starting on the archive. The program is supported by http://www.mmted.org/ which is running an online course on MMT, https://www.mmted.org/mooc.php. This is the educational arm of CofFEE, https://www.fullemployment.net/. Bill Mitchell features in the training videos explaining economics and he is one of the originators of MMT, https://billmitchell.org/blog/, along with Warren Mossler and Randall Wray. Thery are going to run another course in March on Rethinking Capitalism which I hope to go to, https://sustainable-prosperity.net.au/summer-school/." Peter Maddock - Dec 11, 2024 "97% Owned is a very good look at the power of banks and their creation of credit.
I wonder where it fits in with MMT. If MMT is about Government creation of currency, the Government needs to restrict bank creation of credit to ensure credit is directed to producing things, not speculative investment, and unaffordable housing bubble. https://m.imdb.com/video/vi1856677145/?playlistId=tt2145874&ref_=tt_ov_ov_vi" Peter Maddock, April 16, 2025 This reading and resources list is under construction - watch this space!

In 1972 the landmark report ‘The Limits to Growth ’ questioned the possibility of endless economic growth on a finite planet.A growing movement of academics and activists is now advocating for a bold solution to the existential crises of our time: degrowth. Degrowth argues for a democratisation of the economy and for collectively managing key resources like housing. This short documentary takes a look at the theory – and asks what degrowth might look like in practice.
