Podcast appearances and mentions of laurie macfarlane

Laurie MacFarlane from Future Economy Scotland gave, in our opinion, the standout speech at the recent Independence Forum for Scotland conference held in Edinburgh on 1st March 2025. Land Reform is one of those key topics where the public mood seems to be for further, faster reform than our politicians seem able to keep up with but the stakes are high and the potential benefits to Scotland are immense.

As the heavens opened over London, there's a financial storm brewing.The Bank of England has decreed the steepest interest rate hike since 1989, with a jump of 0.75 percentage points to three per cent, as it steps up the fight against soaring inflation. But what's the impact going to be on London's property market, for homeowners with mortgages and renters?It comes as estate agents Savills warns the capital's homeowners that property prices in London are forecast to fall faster than anywhere else in the UK as biting mortgage interest rates hit house and flat values.To analyse Thursday's unwelcome financial news, the Leader's joined by Laurie Macfarlane, a fellow at UCL's Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose.

Patrick Minford faded from view in the 2000s – but since Brexit, he's returned to the fore of Tory economic policy. So who is this Arch-Thatcherite economist and what does he stand for? UCL policy fellow Laurie Macfarlane talks to Andrew Harrison about how he became an icon of the IEA set, and what his cult worship means for Liz Truss' government, and the cost of living crisis. “Most economists like markets but Minford is extreme.” “The mini-budget was an experiment of Minford in practice.”  “There's a risk that we lunge to the other extreme and a return to Osbornite austerity.” “Minford claims to care about government budgets, but he's fine with tax cuts for the wealthy.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

In this mini-series of the New Economics Podcast, we'll discover how our economy has been run over the past few years - and look at the key battlegrounds for those fighting to change the rules. Over the last few years, neoliberalism – the economic model that has dominated since Margaret Thatcher was PM – has taken a hit. Big spending and state intervention have been the name of the game, as the government scrambled to get to grips with the pandemic. While Boris Johnson gets ready to pack up his things, we still don't know who will be replacing him in Number 10. The two final contenders, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss, have been described in the press as “channelling the blue-suited ghost of Thatcher”. So, have the last few years solidified a new kind of economic mainstream? Or will Johnsonism be swept aside once the new PM has unpacked their toothbrush? In the first episode of this special mini-series we're asking: has neoliberalism hit the buffers?

An in-depth look at the importance of land and housing to the economy in Scotland. Why is Scotland an outlier when it comes to private ownership of land? And what impact does this have on Scottish society? Should people's homes be other people's assets? The role of land in a green economy: can so much of it remain in private hands? Are rent caps the answer to so many of our housing market problems? Sure, the Scottish Government can build more homes, but without the oversight of the mortgage market can it really have an impact?

As COP26 comes to a close, we investigate the global environmental and economic challenge facing humanity. In this podcast, Luke Cooper talks to economist Laurie Macfarlane, a columnist at Open Democracy and a fellow at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, to get a digest on COP26 and discuss the relationship between social justice, global development and the green transition. It's a wide-ranging chat, taking in how we conceptualise the idea of development in the 21st century, the seeming paradox that societies most at risk from climate change, such a Australia, have often been the most trenchantly committed to fossil fuels, and the emergence of a new paradigm of capitalist extractivism with the dash for raw materials required to harness renewable energy.

The governor of the bank of England is a public servant. He recently claimed that the UK almost went bankrupt at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. But how does a country that issues its own currency go bust? Or are we in danger of propping up sectors that in the medium term just don’t have a future? Host Ross Ashcroft is joined by economists and authors Josh Ryan-Collin and Laurie Macfarlane to discuss whether this crisis is an opportunity to re-shape our economy.

Joining us today from Edinburgh, Scotland is Laurie Macfarlane, economics editor for opendemocracy.net and author of a recent novella entitled "A Spectre is Haunting the West – the Spectre of Authoritarian Capitalism" which you can read here: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/a-spectre-is-haunting-the-west-the-spectre-of-authoritarian-capitalism/ We discuss the global power balance between the USA and China, the difference between the two countries' responses to the crisis, how COVID is expediting the shift of the global balance of power Eastward, the shift in global financial markets, and lots more.

Grace Blakeley argues the case for 'Lexit' (a left-wing exit from the European Union) while Laurie Macfarlane thinks 'Remain and Reform' is our best option. With a vote on the Prime Minister's deal imminent, what are the options? Paul Mason recently described Lexit – the leftwing case for Brexit – as a political fantasy, but is there still a progressive case for leaving the EU? Was there ever one? Or is our best chance to stay in the EU and reform it? Can it even be reformed? We wanted to get to the bottom of all this, so on this week's podcast are two economists who share the same values but have come to very different positions about Lexit. Enjoying the show?

As part of a special week of coverage of the 2008 banking crisis, reporter David Jamieson speaks with economics editor at Open Democracy Laurie Macfarlane, who recently worked on the Scottish Government's Scottish National Investment Bank implementation plan with Marriana Mazzucato, about the SNP Growth Commission and its failure to learn lessons from the crash. Do the economics of the Growth Commission take account of the banking crash, the Eurozone crisis or the need for a Scottish economy to become more balanced? As part of a special week of coverage on the 2008 financial crisis, CommonSpace reporter David Jamieson speaks to Open Democracy economics editor Laurie Macfarlane about the legacy of the crisis and the economic prospectus of an independent Scotland. Macfarlane discusses: 1:44 - How the UK economic model represented the epitomy of the unstable financialisation that finally collapsed in 2008. 6:58 - Why the Growth Commission recomends and even stricter fiscal policy than the UK. 15:23 - How the Growth Commission fails to adopt banking regulations that can stop the speculative practices that drove the crisis. 20:10 - Why economies without control over their own currencies cannot protect themselves in a crisis.

A universal basic income would have myriad interactions with existing markets, and one that is worth thorough consideration is the housing market. Laurie Macfarlane, Senior Economist at the New Economics Foundation, recent speaker at TEDxTotnes, and co-author of the book ‘Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing' joined the podcast to discuss the various factors within the housing market and what they could mean for basic income. Macfarlane proposes a method to share wealth from rising land values, based on the Alaska Permanent Fund.

On April 5th 2018 author and journalist Laurie Macfarlane came to Resort Studios in Margate to give a talk about the economics of housing and the politics of regeneration. This is a recording of his talk and the Q&A that followed. The recording is by Dan Scott, who co-produced the event. Laurie is the co-author of Rethinking the Economics of Housing and Land, published by Zed books.
