MOVING FORWARD: Zombie Economics, Student Loan Debt, "Latinx" & Cheap Bitcoin Energy

This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Alexander Salter, Jack Salmon, Santiago Varela and Garion Frankel.

Is there really a trade off between inflation and unemployment? Alex Salter has a great take on the zombie economics of inflation and unemployment.

The calls to forgive student loan debt are gaining traction among the political class but is it a good idea? Jack Salmon says forgiving student loan debt would be regressive and costly.

Naysayers tend to focus on the energy requirement to mine Bitcoin as a negative. Santiago Varela has an enlightening explanation of how Bitcoin could spark a cheap energy boom.

The term "Latinx" is raising eyebrows throughout academia. Garion Frankel explains how this gender neutral term is simply failed academic activism.
