SCOTONOMICS SPECIAL ROAD TO COP 26: The Green New Deal with Richard Murphy

A LIVE session with Richard Murphy https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy covering: In 2008 you created the framework for a green new deal. Can you remind us of the economic conditions at the time and what spurred the idea? What is a green new deal in its most basic terms? Considering the wafer-thin economic policies between the two big Westminster parties is there any chance of this happening? How about Scotland? Could Scotland create a green new deal under the current constitutional arrangements? Could Scotland create a green new deal under the sustainable growth commission i.e without its own currency? Is monetary sovereignty the only way that Scotland can really make these huge structural changes necessary to combat the climate crisis? One of the main drivers of the green new deal back in 2008 was climate change how important is that consideration in 2021? Is the USA on the cusp of a mini green new deal? has any country to date taken any steps towards a green new deal?
