• The Phillips Economic Machine
    Sep 29 2023

    The MONIAC (Monetary National Income Analogue Computer), also the Phillips Hydraulic Computer and the Financephalograph, was created in 1949 by the New Zealand economist Bill Phillips to model the national economic processes of the United Kingdom, while Phillips was a student at the London School of Economics (LSE). The MONIAC is an analogue computer which used fluidic logic to model the workings of an economy. The MONIAC name is suggested by associating money and ENIAC, an early electronic digital computer.

  • Universal Basic Income
    Sep 1 2023

    Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a socioeconomic concept and policy proposal aimed at addressing issues of economic inequality and providing financial security to all members of a society. At its core, UBI involves the unconditional and regular distribution of a fixed amount of money to every individual, regardless of their employment status, wealth, or other factors. The fundamental idea behind UBI is to ensure that everyone has access to a baseline level of income, which can help meet their basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. Proponents of UBI argue that it can alleviate poverty, reduce income disparities, and provide a safety net in the face of automation and economic shifts. However, the concept also sparks debates around its feasibility, potential impact on work incentives, and the overall restructuring of social welfare systems.

  • Modern Monetary Theory
    Aug 11 2023

    I really appreciate Modern Monetary Theory, and it's leading academics that are pushing it along, but when it's common advocates get the messaging wrong, it's an impediment to it gaining traction in the mainstream media.

  • Behavioral Economics
    Aug 4 2023

    Behavioral economics is a branch of economics that investigates the impact of psychological, cognitive, and emotional factors on individual decision-making and economic outcomes. Unlike traditional economics, which assumes rationality and perfect decision-making, behavioral economics recognizes that human choices are often influenced by biases, heuristics, and social factors. By integrating insights from psychology and economics, behavioral economics provides valuable explanations for real-world economic phenomena, such as consumer choices, investment decisions, and market dynamics. It has become a crucial tool in understanding and predicting economic behavior, and its findings have profound implications for policymaking, improving market efficiency, and designing interventions that nudge individuals towards better outcomes.
