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. We need to stop calling our money supply a deficit! Language is important, and allowing folks to frame our money supply as something to be afraid of has to stop.

    There are valid reasons to be concerned about allowing the money supply to grow too large ~ but the answer to that is to increase taxes.

    • I agree. I've decided to rename the Deficit to "Fiat" from now on. At least that word implies creation rather then dimunition, which is what "Deficit" implies.
