Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis builds upon and integrates a non-equilibrium approach to macroeconomics which can be traced back not merely to Keynes but also Goodwin, Fisher, Schumpeter, and Marx.

Neoclassical economics was triumphant before the economic crisis and has been in both disarray and denial since. This lecture covers why the evolution of Real Business Cycle and DSGE modeling from the original IS-LM approach was necessary for Neoclassical thought in order to be consistent with its core belief that monetary factors do not determine the level of real economic activity

As Head of the School of Economics, History and Politics at Kingston University, I was delighted to be asked to launch Kingston's Rethinking Economics group. I am sure this is the first time that a Head of School has done this. A great crowd turned up--over 100 people including many first year students. I hope that they keep us on our toes as we deliver a pluralist education in economics at Kingston University. And if you're at a UK University that doesn't provide a pluralist education in...

My talk at Cambridge, recording the audience and the discussion after the talk as well as the talk itself. The presentation takes about an hour; the discussion begins at the 59 minute and 25 second mark.Fast forward to there if you've already seen the slideshow. And a plea to my YouTube followers: if you want to help my campaign to reform economics, then support the Kickstarter campaign to produce the graphic novel/cartoon book Crash Boom Pop!:...

My talk to the Critical Realism seminar at Cambridge University last week. In contrast to my host Tony Lawson's perspective on the inappropriateness of mathematical modeling for economics, I argue that economics is in fact anti-mathematical as it currently exists, since any truly mathematical discipline would have been completely transformed by the many mathematical results that have contradicted the foundation beliefs of Neoclassical economics. Sound problems which trashed several recent...

I gave this talk to the first conference of the International Student Initiative for Pluralism in Economics (www.isipe.net) held in Tuebingen Germany on September 19-21 2014. I cover Minsky, money, complexity, and the economic crisis. I spoke too fast and covered topics at too high a level for many of the undergraduate students who are part of the rebellion against the dominance of economics tuition and research by Neoclassical economics, so I hope putting it up on YouTube gives students a...

Sheffield University hosted a seminar on the implications of Modern Monetary Theory for the law. This is my contribution.
