Privatise The Profits, Socialise The Losses = Societal Harm

Today we examine how costs and risks are systematically transferred from corporations to society, thus inflating their true profit, whilst we are left to pick-up the tally. And its true across many sectors of the economy. Worse, regulators are captured thus reinforcing this inequitable trend.

Asbestos is one prime example of the capacity of corporations to make decisions that prioritise short-term profit gains while dismissing or discounting the future adverse effects on employees, customers, and the broader community.

The information contained in this show was provided by Asbestos Awareness Australia, and the full report plus full footnotes is available below.

The Housing Elephant In The Room – And What To Do About it…

Following on from ‘Housing: Taming the Elephant in the Economy’ report published last week, by The City Futures team, they have now released the research report that provided part of the basis for that publication.

The new paper ‘Housing and the Economy: Interrogating Australian Experts’ Views’ its an analysis of in-depth interviews with a selected group of 20 respondents from the 87 who kindly participated in last year’s online survey.

This offers a comprehensive grounding in contemporary policy settings of the Australian public policy housing system to promotes in-depth appreciation of contemporary debates including those focused on housing affordability and housing tax reform and to describe the policies and institutions that have shaped Australia’s housing system

Professor Duncan MacLennan from the University of Glasgow led the economic strand of the research. He is an applied economist with interests in cities, neighbourhoods, infrastructure and housing. He is currently Professor of Public Policy at the University of Glasgow, Professor of Strategic Urban Management and Finance at the University of St Andrews and a Professorial Research Fellow in Urban Economics at the University of New South Wales, Sydney.

His current research is concerned with economic drivers and consequences of metropolitan investment strategies for infrastructure and housing and of the fiscal and spending autonomies in sub-national levels of government.
