Show Notes
This week, Joseph Healy, co-founder of Judo Bank, joins us to explore the enduring relevance of Adam Smith’s economic principles in today’s Australia.
We dive into the often-overlooked connection between economics and morality, the role of education in driving equality and productivity, and why businesses must start viewing employees as long-term assets, not just costs.
Joseph also shares his concerns about the profit-driven direction of universities, the challenges within our current education system, and how Smith’s thinking can help rebalance economic priorities with societal responsibility.
It’s a powerful reminder that good economics starts with good values
