What does it really mean to be a heterodox economist? And how does Modern Monetary Theory fit into today’s political narratives?

In this episode, Indypodcasters Fiona and Marlene catch up with political economist William Thomson to unpack the big ideas shaping Scotland’s economic debate. William explains what “heterodox economics” actually means, challenges mainstream thinking, and explores how Modern Monetary Theory connects to the political choices facing Scotland right now.

We also hear about his ambitious new event, Scotland's Economics Festival, taking place 19–21 March in Leith, Edinburgh — designed to bring big economic ideas out of academia and into the hands of the public.
