Event speaker

If you are after thought-provoking insight and commentary on economic matters then consider me as a speaker for your next event. No topic is too controversial, and your thinking and perspectives are guaranteed to be challenged across a wide range of economic topics— from housing to superannuation, on the macroeconomics of trade international capital flows, to radical ideas like creating an Australian space agency or giving away free land.
