After the pandemic, what will we need to do to recover?

For the past year, I've been working on a book that explores how the lessons of past crises can inform our coming recovery.

In bookstores from 30 August, but you can pre-order a copy now.

@cityofmonash The drinking tap at the Eastern Lions (Evans St) is not turning off. Needs fixing!

How can city governments help to grow their tech sectors, even when they don't have a lot of money?

In this article for the @worldeconomicforum , I explore how cities can foster emerging industries such as climate tech, sports tech and digital games.

What does best-practice local economic development look like these days? I was curious to find out, and the result is my latest paper, just published in Local Economy. https://t.co/yEUedZPVuo

Retail data just released shows spending on dining and entertainment in the City of Melbourne has tripled since the end of Covid lockdowns. It's meant the city has recovered to enjoy one of the lowest retail vacancy rates in the country | @GeorgiaRSimpson

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Melbourne's CBD is bouncing back with the retail vacancy rate now the smallest in the nation. https://t.co/GI8JftIebB @BlakeJohnson #7NEWS

@MattCowgill Congratulations. Perfect job for you!

Writing is the principal means by which public servants communicate. Mastering the art of the briefing paper, report or letter will take you a surprisingly long way.

My thoughts on how public servants can approach the writing task.

I’ve just finished this great new book from the always impressive @sharathjeevan_

A short, insightful read that explores how we navigate critical moments in our careers.

[Andrew Wear @AndrewWear]

Really looking forward to reading The Shortest History of Economics - the new book from @ALeighMP. Andrew has a huge brain and capacity to explain complex ideas in an engaging way, so I know this will be amazing.

[9News Melbourne @9NewsMelb]

Small and medium shop owners in the CBD are being urged to consider shifting their opening hours.

The idea is to make the most of higher visitor numbers after 6pm. @heidimur #9News

@SHamiltonian @smh Great piece Steven!

Out of interest, are you aware of any empirical research showing that lower personal tax rates increases the propensity to work? ie do we know that the substitution effect of a rate cut outweighs the wealth effect?

Strange and surprising things happen when you write a book. It's been nearly four years since Solved was first published, but the book seems to have secured quite the fan base in Nigeria.

Such an honour to participate in the last ever episode of #thedrum - to explore the importance of hope in dark times.

This has been an incredible show, underpinned by an amazing group of journalists and production staff. It’s sad to see it go.

[Andrew Wear @AndrewWear]

@bairdjulia @ellenmfanning Thanks to both of you (and the production team) for many fantastic discussions. What an amazing contribution you have made!

[Andrew Wear @AndrewWear]

What do you hope for at year’s end – and where do you find it?

Beautiful piece by David Leser in @GoodWeekendMag
