The RBA dropped another rate hike on us last week and then said they’ve got more where that comes from punks.

Nvidia and AI: beginning of a boom or a baby of a bubble?

Tue, 30 May 2023 18:00:46 GMT

New research shows that orbiting space ads are already economically viable. Elsewhere in this dystopian hellscape, infrastructure is getting a makeover in this year's budget, but is it all cosmetic?

Is Kogan’s recent share price crash about Covid, Kogan, or something else entirely? Is this the end of Bitcoin, and is Thomas (finally) vindicated?

Budget: Pulled Pork or Paradigm Shift?

Tue, 18 May 2021 18:00:00 GMT

Thomas digs a bit deeper into the budget, and uncovers something that is either a total paradigm shift in the way Conservatives think about deficits, or is it just some old fashioned pork? What is budget repair, what is an Austerity Budget, and where did the Future Fund get all its money?

The View from Money-Town

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 18:00:00 GMT

The CEOs of the big four banks fronted the House of Reps Economics Committee in Canberra last week, giving us a privileged insight into their outlook for the economy. They also took time to throw some shade at state governments for letting the housing boom get out of control. This is what the view from the C-suites of money town looks like, while this tpyo’s for you Iain. ;)

And here’s a link to the Committee’s terms of reference, which nobody is going to click on, except nerds like Thomas.

Commodity Supercycle or SuperHype?

Tue, 06 Apr 2021 18:00:00 GMT

Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are talking up a new commodity supercycle. It is true that commodity prices are through the roof, but are they going to stay there? Are we on the cusp of another 12-year boom, or is it just going to fade away the way the last mining boom did, along with ‘The Chinese Century’? And how doe we get rich on the back of it?

Tue, 30 Mar 2021 17:00:00 GMT

A massive container ship, The Ever Given, got sideways last week and plugged up the Suez Canal, one of the most important shipping routes in the world. Is the global economy really that easy to knock off its axis? What does it mean for inflation, and why is China watching this one nervously?

Why can’t you give everyone a million bucks when Jobkeeper ends?

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:00:00 GMT

The massive Jobkeeper program winds up at the end of March, just as the US is mailing out cheques for $1400 to the whole country. Is the end of Jobkeeper the end of the Aussie economy? And why do we spend money on entertainment vouchers for people when you could just send them cold hard cash?

WTF is a NFT and can I make money off them?

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 17:00:00 GMT

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are selling for millions of dollars, but what are they? Thomas says they’re what happens when you combine the financial illiteracy of crypto-bois with the self-indulgent pretentiousness of the arts market, but he would say that wouldn’t he? But don’t worry, Adam is the family’s in-house tech-guy, so he’ll walk us through this “new and exciting” asset class.

Can your stonks handle inflation?

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 17:00:00 GMT

GDP boomed last week, just as Thomas predicted, but markets didn’t do nothing. Why? Why is WA all about cutting payroll tax, and why don’t economists dance when inflation is zero? And if economists think inflation is picking up, is that going to cause another rout in share markets? And why did mum make Adam pay tax?

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 17:00:00 GMT

Adam was shocked last week to see that bond yields had caused share markets to tank. Bond yields? He doesn’t know what either of those words even mean. Thomas unpacks the puzzle as best he can, and explains why these days, in the strange post-covid economy, good news is bad news.

Thu, 18 Feb 2021 23:52:14 GMT

The dawn of a new economic paradigm?

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 17:00:00 GMT

There’s an epic battle going on right now in economics between the proponents of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), and the adherents of vintage, small-batch monetary theory. How did we go from a ‘debts and deficits disaster’ to splashing money about like a drunken uncle? How does it affect the decisions we make about public spending? How does it affect the outlook for asset prices?

Hitting economists with the measuring stick...

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 17:00:00 GMT

According to Adam, he's got a handle on economic activity, and he's got a handle on prices... thanks to Thomas' nifty dashboard concept.

But now he's starting to pay attention to the 7 o'clock news, he's noticing all this other data coming down the pipeline... What's this thing called consumer confidence? Wine sales are down? Adam is overwhelmed with information. How is one man supposed to make sense of all of this?

Luckily, Thomas has the answer. (Very lucky, otherwise it'd be a really short podcast). He explains why everything is expressed in annual growth rates, what seasonally adjusted means, why that's relevant to apples and oranges, and why it has nothing to do with the weather.

Understanding the Economics Dashboard... or exactly what data is important?

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 17:00:00 GMT

Adam has a blissfully ignorant life philosophy: 'ignore the data'. It's been working for him so far, but Thomas now has him wondering if it's the best long-term strategy.

So the episode starts with a simple premise, as he asks Thomas, 'Now I care about economics, how do I understand all these numbers that are flying at me?' So, Thomas takes the time to explain his simple framework for understanding economic activity, and what data is really actually important, and how to balance it.

Let's start at the beginning... What exactly is the economy?

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 18:00:00 GMT

For the very first episode of Comedian V Economist, Adam starts with what seems like a very simple question for his brother Thomas: 'What exactly *is* the economy?'

What Adam quickly learns though, is sometimes simple questions, don't have simple answers, and quickly the brothers end up discussing a whole host of other questions... like, why are politicians always talking about having a strong economy? If I mow my neighbours lawn, is that part of the GDP? What even is the GDP? Can the economy just keep growing... forever? And what does amorphous mean? (We can't promise the answer to that last one)
