Rethinking banking as a public franchise
The article published in the March 2024 issue of Economic Reform Australia's (ERA) Review is my review of an academic paper proposing we should view the private banking sector as a public franchise, where the Federal government is the franchisor and banks are licensed franchisees of the government's public credit money. Implications of this view on public policy are described, including how this would improve financing to the real economy of businesses and households.

SEPTEMBER 2023 The F-twist – realism, economic policy analysis & climate change
In this two-part article published in the Septermber and November 2024 issues respectively of Economic Reform Australia's (ERA) Review, I discuss how mainstream (or orthodox) economic theory does not behave as a science and the impact of this on climate policy. I also contrast economics to my experience in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) profession.
