Debt's Impact on Economy & Happiness
Steve Keen
Steve Keen (born 28 March 1953) is an Australian-born, British-based economist and author. He considers himself a post-Keynesian, criticising neoclassical economics as inconsistent, unscientific and empirically unsupported. 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.

  1. What do you think about this? Responding to the best comments.

  2. Why interest rates will plummet.

  3. I was thinking about this earlier. As the cost of living rises and real wages stagnate or fall, more and more people have less and less disposable income and have to rely more and more on debt. All the wealth accumulates on the top and gets progressively siphoned off the economy through principal and compound interest payments until, eventually, nobody can even afford to make interest payments and the whole thing collapses.

  4. They're talking about private debt. For people who are confused about government debt. Government debt adds to private sector savings.
