by This is so good, Steve Keen very concisely described his theories in a way I have never heard him talk about them before. This isn't for the general public. It's very advanced and he touches on religion, philosophy, Karl Marx, Hegel 's dialect along with advanced mathematics.Steve Keen says economics students nowadays don't learn the type of advanced mathematics that students did in his time, what they learn is mythamatics, he adds.Steve Keen puts the un-equilibrium theories from physics into his theories which are based on the Minsky model. He says he was a software designer for 15 years and his computer models look nothing like the spread sheets that economists are used to. He says with more time and money he will be able to simplify his models so people will more people will find them

I never knew economics could get advanced as this bringing into the equations human nature, philosophy, thesis, antithesus, and synthesis. The individual and the collective hold a dynamic that can never be broken, but the mainstream economists have just concentrated on the individual to our peril.
I would love to be able to do what Steve Keen does, it must be so interesting.
