About

Aussienomics was created by me, Dr Justin Pyvis. It was originally launched in 2009 but entered hibernation for nearly a decade as life and other projects took up my scarce time. Here’s a snippet from the original ‘About’ page, which still applies today:

“Aussienomics was established to provide a source of alternative thinking with a particular focus on current economic, political and social issues in Australia.

Every attempt will be made to ensure that the commentary and suggested solutions are profound yet simple, intuitive and practical. Economic analysis on this site will be founded in realism and will hopefully help both the layman and professional alike to understand real world problems and provide real world solutions.”

My goal is simple: to try and understand what’s unfolding in Australia by taking an insightful, nuanced perspective – no hysterics or sensationalism. Just well-researched economic commentary grounded in facts.
