    BlackRock CEO Larry Fink predicts AI and shrinking populations will bring higher living standards without growth.

With economic foundations shifting, the future demands a radical rethinking of capitalism’s purpose and the systems driving it.

    • 04 October 2024

      The Forest Wars reveals how vested interests make life difficult for the scientists and activists who attempt to defend the environment, a war waged through deforestation on one hand and deception and obfuscation on the other. Linenmayer asks: if we continue to allow vested interests to drive deforestation, how long before the forests — and the future they promise — are lost beyond repair?

    For decades, unchecked corporate power and policy failures have driven up Australia's cost of living, leaving many Australians struggling.

    In a signature essay published last year in The Monthly, Treasurer Chalmers staked out an ideological terrain he described as ‘values-based capitalism.’ The Budget 2024 is quite the big reveal on what those values include and who they exclude.

    • Peter Mares
    • 12 April 2024
    1 Comment

    The ABC’s recent Q+A housing special left many questions unasked and unanswered. Labor, Coalition and Green MPs all say they want more people to be able to buy their own homes.
