Darren Quinn
Darren Quinn is an unconventional economic thinker dedicated to reforming policies to prioritize social justice and empower society’s disadvantaged.
Despite facing challenges with unemployment and mental health personally, Darren has found purpose in being an advocate for bold policy reforms grounded in economic and human rights.
His advocacy stems from direct experience with gaps and harms in the current system. Darren believes imaginative, compassionate solutions can create a more just world.
Through his independent research and writings, Darren shares perspectives on concepts like Modern Monetary Theory, the Job Guarantee program, public banking, and other progressive economic ideas.
He has appeared in various media outlets, including podcasts, radio shows, and panel discussions, to speak about economic reform topics.
Darren has volunteered extensively at the local community centre for over 15 years before leaving the role in 2023, demonstrating his commitment to empowering people at the grassroots level.
He is also a member of economic justice groups like AUWU and has held leadership roles in reformer organisations, aligning with his goal of challenging orthodox assumptions in economics.
Darren aims to spark imaginative policy debates that create more inclusive economic theories and practices, lifting up those harmed by inequality. He believes personal struggles can fuel advocacy that uplifts all.
