Steve Keen (born 28 March 1953) is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author.

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.

    Capitalism needed banks to become the dominant and economic ideology. But capitalism has reached its end game. Businesses now make everything everyone everywhere needs-cars, phones, computers. People don’t want for anything. So banks can’t lend to businesses. How have they responded? Lending on houses and shares. Show me a million dollar house and I’ll show you a half million dollar house with a half million dollars of debt. Banks create nothing because the credit they create is offset by an equal and opposite debt. A pity Newton wasn’t aware of this because he might have created a fourth law – conservation of value. In a closed system value is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes form.

  2. Greens in shades of Grey without greenwashing at all might be a less useless choice than the destruction promised by the rest.
