Why I'm an ANTI Economist.
Steve Keen
Steve Keen (born 28 March 1953) is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author. He considers himself a post-Keynesian, criticising neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. The major influences on Keen's thinking about economics include John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Hyman Minsky, Piero Sraffa, Augusto Graziani, Joseph Alois Schumpeter, Thorstein Veblen, and François Quesnay.

  1. Which is why we need recessions…to reset the counter.
    Trying to avoid recession by stimulus just allows everyone to run up the debt counter, problem is I suppose that individuals can't print their own money.

    • basically. I'd point out that we need something, but not necessarily the things we call "recessions". The ancients had the jubilee. We could maybe have micro-recessions that happen randomly about once a day, so theyre not a big deal at all

    • No it means we need private debt management (jubilees) just like we need inflation management so then it becomes proactive instead of reactive (recessions)

  2. @davidwilkie9551

    And this is why we watch and wait as Michael Hudson's ongoing research into the different types of money for different parts of ecological economic exchanges are clarified and the deliberately obfuscated language of pure-math relative-timing ratio-rates Circuitry is subjected to a renewed interest in Accounting, a contrarian POV as Steve suggests.

  3. It's impressive how they convince people that every time capitalist overproduction causes a crash, it's a totally unique event, even though it keeps happening about once per decade, going back to the early 1800s.
