Lectures on non-equilibrium economics at FLACSO (Latin American Social Sciences Institute). This first lecture covers why economics must be a disequilibrium discipline, and why it has thus far failed to become one.

Minsky has been designed to enable the construction of system dynamics models of the financial system, but it's equally at home building standard dynamic mathematical models. In these 2 videos I firstly demonstrate 4 famous chaotic models in Minsky--Lorenz, Double Pendulum, Duffing and Van Der Pol--and then build the Lorenz model in Minsky. We'd be delighted to have mathematicians download a copy of Minsky and start using it for teaching and other purposes

This is a quick demo of using the Godley Table feature of Minsky to add a necessary level of complexity to my monetary model of financial instability. It is very easy to add details like this--adding shareholders who receive dividends, and dividing the firm sector's accounts into a capital and a current account. It would be a nightmare to add the same levels of complexity using a standard system dynamics program like Vissim or Vensim.

#9 in a set of 15 videos showing how to use the first full release version of Minsky. This video shows how to create more than one Godley Table to simulate both a Central Bank and a Private Banking Sector, and the way the program maintains consistency between the two. It also produces the first combined MMT-MCT model.

#11 in a set of 15 videos showing how to use the first full release version of Minsky. BUGS! Every piece of software has them, and as a very new program, Minsky will have more than its share. We need your help as users to use the program, identify problems, and tell us so that they can be eliminated.
