Pintonomics #1 - Deficits

Join Pintonomics for our first meetup to discuss how economics impacts our daily lives – and to see what happens when you mix monetary policy with a good pint (or sprite!)

We'll be in the Sekforde from 6.30pm but there's no strict start time so drop by what ever time you can make it 🙌

Not required, but if you get a chance, check out this TED talk on the Deficit Myth beforehand:

Other typical topics include:

• How government spending really works in a sovereign currency system
• Can the government ever run out of money?
• Whats the role of taxes beyond “paying for” public services?
• What actually causes inflation and how can it be avoided?
• Why is there always money for bombs and bailouts?
• Can different economic policies better address housing, healthcare, and climate change?
