FET #37: Economic facts on housing, childcare, and welfare with Ben Phillips

And the muddled way the media tells stories about economics

Ben is an economist at the Australian National University. He studies many of the big policy questions in Australia, from housing to childcare to welfare and more.

We chat about the misunderstandings of our economic situation that are perpetuated by the media, and how reality is more boring and generally positive than portrayed.
