Without watching it sounds like what Prof. #SteveKeen has been pushing for over a year now? The main problem with them that we see is they require, de-anonomising ppl in terms of when and what they do.The actual remedy is moving to a #hardCurrency. There should be no way to stoke bubbles in an #economy, because it always leads to great #inequality with some ppl getting more help than others.
Taxing #consumption evenly based on #embeddedEnergy is best, and a #UBI.

We also like how he talked about the #embeddedEnergy in the existing #housingStock and #officeSpace.
He points to how industry is encouraged to #waste due to govts giving #taxBreaks and other #perks for #newBuilds, rather than encouraging #developers to #refurbish or #renovate existing #heritage and #realEstate.
It has a terrible impact on our #carbonFootprint - but is great for #GDP!
If you're concerned with #sustainability you need to know the effects of #overdevelopment.
