This lecture models Minsky’s Financial Instability Hypothesis and shows that Minsky’s vision of a unstable economy emerge from a simple model derived directly from macroeconomic identities for the employment rate, the wages share of GDP, and the private debt to GDP ratio.

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.
