In the essay "Capitalism after The Crisis," Treasurer Jim Chalmers proposes greater market regulation and increased private investment in public projects, sparking a debate on whether this represents a return to government-controlled economy or a responsible approach to national development. Economic experts Dimitri Burshtein and Sam Crosby discuss Chalmers' ideas, with Crosby supporting government intervention to address challenges like climate change and women's participation in the economy. Burshtein criticizes Chalmers' values-based capitalism, but Crosby argues that government intervention is necessary for proper market regulation. The conversation also covers topics such as government spending, social housing, taxation, and the role of public servants, with both speakers acknowledging the need for reform and experimentation in measuring government success.
