The Limits of Fiscal Policy' with Professor Tony Makin

After years of Australian monetary policy struggling to achieve the central bank's inflation target, Government responses to the current global economic crisis have brought debates over fiscal policy to a head. Yet some economists have cautioned against the apparent trend towards greater reliance on fiscal activism.

Join Griffith University author and Professor of Economics Tony Makin for a discussion on his prescient 2018 publication The Limits of Fiscal Policy, and why it matters in the COVID and post-COVID era.
