Praxis - A political economy podcast

Welcome to Praxis, a podcast on understanding the economy and how it dominates our lives, hosted by Max Chandler-Mather and Bec Sparks from The Green Institute.

Too often the world of economics is dictated entirely by a small elite group of economists, experts and institutions, telling the same old convenient story: that the way things are, are the way they’ve gotta be.

Everything from the wage you’re paid, to the cooking and cleaning you do at home, and the debit card in your pocket, are all defined by the same economic and political forces that drive capitalism. In this limited series, you’ll hear from experts across the country tackling the biggest questions and giving you the tools to critique common economic stories and apply an economic lens to politics.
