INDEPENDENCE Live starts a new series tonight when Economics professor Fadhel Kaboub will be discussing the concept of economic sovereignty.
It’s the opening episode of a new series entitled Scotonomics that will be broadcast each Wednesday at 9pm. Prof Kaboub will outlines what it means to have true economic sovereignty. He will also discuss how and why small nations like Scotland must strive for sovereignty.
Indy Live told The National: “After the craziness that was the 2021 Holyrood election and our two-times-six-hour broadcasting efforts, we are back to more normal stuff. But to be honest there isn’t really a back to normal, it is more of a ‘new normal’.

“Our new normal is a lot more content on our YouTube channel, more virtual events and offering more direct support to Yes organisations And there is more. If we reach our crowdfunded target by next week then we will be able to announce something huge during Kevin Gibney’s interview with William Thomson on YES Corner on June 14.”
Meanwhile, research student Maike Dinger who featured in the Yes DIY page on Saturday has asked us to point out that her project on the Independence Referendum is strictly non-partisan and should be portrayed as such.
She said: “This means that I welcome contributions by anyone who experienced the referendum at the time. The project is in no way targeted at Yes supporters only. “

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
