She co-founded the think tank Australians for Science and Freedom in 2023, and is an author of dozens of academic articles and several books, including The Great Covid Panic (2021) and Do Lockdowns and Border Closures Serve the “Greater Good”?

About the Talk

The ethics, politics and economics of Western renewalThe modern West is in decline, as evidenced in our institutions, our culture, and the betrayal of our people by elites who disregard the needs ofa healthy society in favour of serving power. What to do? In thisBrownstone Supper Club talk, I will describe my approach to this uber-problem as an economist trained in the broad social sciences, from both a theoretical and a highly practical standpoint, focussing on desirable and feasible options for institutional redesign. Amongst other things I will discuss the mission and activities of the free think tank I co-founded and co-direct, Australians for Science and Freedom, and the newest attempt at Western renewal in which I am involved: a serious proposal for the secession of Western Australia from that country’s Commonwealth government. I will also briefly discuss the origin of Brownstone Institute’s first published book, The Great Covid Panic, released in September 2021, which I co-authored with Paul Frijters and Michael Baker.
