    The cutting edge of Environmental Economics

    Karl FitzgeraldMultimediaLeave a Comment

    Over the nearly 8 years of the Renegade Economists radio show, many cutting interviews have been undertaken that have not been online until this point. About a year ago we started utilising the excellent Mixcloud player. I hope students of the NEXT economic system can enjoy these environmental economics podcasts.

    First up is an interview with Dr Michael Vardon on the world leading Australian System of Environmental Economic Accounting system. Show notes.

    A year later I interviewed Dr Vardon in Measuring Externalities: Dr Michael Vardon from the Australian Bureau of Stats discusses the world leading report on Environmental Economic Accounting (ABS 4655). Listen to hear how fast renewables are growing, the plummeting value of brown coal and where our largest waste is created.

    Vested Interests Party: Chris Martin from the Tenant’s Union of NSW (tunswblog.blogspot.com.au/) discusses the recent NSW election and the push by some sections of the property lobby to remove the one tax they can’t avoid with the No Land Tax Party. A string of controversies followed wherever the party went.
