In 2007, Ross Garnaut (pictured below) wrote renowned a review into Australia’s climate policies.

In his latest book, Let’s Tax Carbon, Professor Garnaut revisits the idea of a carbon tax, a policy introduced under Prime Minister Julia Gillard and subsequently abandoned by Tony Abbott.

This idea, and the accompanying transition of Australia to renewable-energy superpower status is just one of the book’s plans floated to create an economy that encourages full employment teamed with low inflation. He criticises the Reserve Bank of Australia’s current obsession with controlling inflation regardless of its effect on employment.
