Alongside the publication of our first policy paper, we are releasing a 15-minute film introducing A Counter-Inflationary Job Guarantee for the United Kingdom.

The film explores why unemployment is deliberately maintained as an inflation tool, the human costs of this approach, and how a Job Guarantee offers a better alternative — drawing on real-world experience from Argentina’s Plan Jefe and expert insights from leading economists.

Featuring

• Patricia Pino — Economist and Executive Director, MMT UK Policy Research Group
• Pavlina Tcherneva — Professor of Economics, Bard College; President, Levy Economics Institute; author of The Case for a Job Guarantee
• Daniel Kostzer — Chief Economist, International Trade Union Confederation; member of the team that designed Argentina’s Plan Jefe y Jefa employment guarantee programme
