We love happy students. If you're thinking about joining our Graduate Program, next month or at some point in the future, we would love to have a chat with you! Students of all ages and backgrounds welcome. modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/ Contact us with your questions: info@modernmoneylab.org.au

The European Central Bank deregulates in the name of competition between banks to make risky loans and calls it resilience. We will be talking about resilience in Brussels on June 28th. Our definition of resilience will differ markedly from that of the ECB.

We have students in every continent now - a little thin on the ground in South America as yet. Such a great and diverse bunch on our Masters program, all studying where they live, with nobody needing to fly around the world to join the class. modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/

One of the many excellent students on our Masters degree is Hazel Cubbage. She has just published this article about the role of the banking sector in addressing climate breakdown. eastangliabylines.co.uk/business/eco...

Coming up soon! Join a casual zoom Q and A session for prospective students and anyone interested in our Economics of Sustainability courses to meet Steven Hail (Academic Director).

A wonderful result for our graduate and friend Sheridan Kates and her Greens colleagues in Tufnell Park. I could not be more delighted for her or proud of her. She is talented, dedicated and a wonderful human being.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Anti-Austerity Economics workshop at the Media Design School in Auckland! It's not too late to book. It will be fascinating, you'll meet some great people and we have a wonderful venue thanks to Torrens University. events.humanitix.com/anti-austeri...

New Zealanders - you will be most welcome to come along and chat about this and other issues next weekend in Auckland or Dunedin (or hopefully online) - even if (especially if) you work for ANZ or the RBNZ.

We love to see Modern Money Lab and the university with which we partner (Torrens) featuring on the profiles of our brilliant graduates and students. Sheridan is one of our most brilliant graduates.

Steven will be prosecuting this very argument this month in New Zealand in a seminar in Auckland and in two seminars in Dunedin. events.humanitix.com/anti-austeri... events.humanitix.com/anti-austeri...

And people can still train in the approach to economics which is explored in the movie, with Modern Money Lab. We need a lot more of us to train and gain credentials, as there are still very many (too many) of them in economics and politics and not enough (not nearly enough) of us.

We would love to see you at the Torrens University Australia campus in Sydney, in Foveaux Street, near Central Station, if you are in New South Wales and can come along, on Saturday 14th March. Steven will be in the audience, as will Gabrielle Bond. Come and say hello!

Sheridan is a graduate of our Masters; Susan a current student on it; John Harvey wrote one of the subjects; Steve Keen is a guest lecturer. modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/

We start again next week.

The Global South Scholarship deadline is not for another twelve days, so there is still time to enquire at steven.hail@torrens.edu.au

How about this for a New Year's resolution? The more funding Modern Money Lab can get, the more brilliant students like Nathaniel we can support through the Masters degree in the Economics of Sustainability.

Our Global South #scholarships are designed to support talented and committed students of all ages and backgrounds to take the Torrens University Australia Graduate Certificate of Economics of Sustainability, 100% online, part time. Talk to us about eligibility - contact steven.hail@torrens.edu.au

It is Modern Money Lab's 5th birthday. Happy birthday to us! Here is Gabrielle Bond on Day One!

This is one of many reasons why you should NOT enrol on that economics course you were considering, but should join our global online graduate program (accessible to those without prior economics training) instead.

The latest note to one of our lecturers - "you’re such a star _______, thank you as always for being such an incredible champion and mentor to all of us." If you know anyone who would enjoy taking a Masters in the Economics of MMT, you know where to send them. modernmoneylab.org.au/courses/
