How Good Are Humans
Giving the economy a solid (and thoughtful) kick up the butt | Professor Hurriyet Babacan
When an economy has a lot of potential to grow, but is also stalked by a fair risk of stall and decline, it takes experienced thought leaders, regional development experts and policy wonks to gently, or firmly, guide decision makers to steer the economic vehicle into the correct lane.
Professor Hurriyet Babacan is such a person, and has the resumé, intellect and drive to lay social and economic development plans at the feet of government.
As a JCU and CQU professor, and chair of the Tropical North branch of Regional Development Australia, it is Prof Babacan's day job to find new ways to improve the lives of regional Queenslanders. We discussed many of her ideas and areas of research on this episode of the podcast.
