Episode Synopsis

Big business says wants a more productive economy, but its complaints about industrial relations are really about its profit margins, says Matt Grudnoff. On this episode of Dollars & Sense, Australia Institute Senior Economist Matt Grudnoff and Research Fellow Adam Gottschalk discuss the spin around productivity and why paying workers more – not less – might hold the key to a more productive economy. Join President José Ramos-Horta at 6pm AEDT, Tuesday 8 October for an evening of conversation at the Sydney Opera House, presented by the Australia Institute as part of its 30 Years of Big Ideas. australiainstitute.org.au // @theausinstitute Host: Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist, the Australia Institute // @MattGrudnoff Host: Adam Gottschalk, Anne Kantor Research Fellow, the Australia Institute // @adamchalksitup Theme music: Blue Dot Sessions We’d love to hear your feedback on this series, so send in your questions, comments or suggestions for future episodes to [email protected] Dollars & Sense: https://nb.australiainstitute.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
