by Summary:
This presentation to students in the EU-sponsored EPOG Masters program (see https://www.epog.eu/) covers the analysis of credit money, financial instability, Modern Monetary Theory, the role of energy in production, and how to model financial and complex systems in my Open Source system dynamics program Minsky (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/minsky/). There was a lively discussion of the way in which capitalism should be modelled--using discrete (NO!) or continuous time, etc.
Topics:
Steve Keen considers the following as important:
This could be interesting, too:

Matias Vernengo writes Elon Musk (& Vivek Ramaswamy) on hardship, because he knows so much about it
Lars Pålsson Syll writes Klas Eklunds ‘Vår ekonomi’ — lärobok med stora brister
New Economics Foundation writes We need more than a tax on the super rich to deliver climate and economic justice
Robert Vienneau writes Profits Not Explained By Merit, Increased Risk, Increased Ability To Compete, Etc.

Steve: The biggest economic issue is the pandemic. Do you think you could read Paul Marik on IVERMECTIN and use minimal epidemiology coupled with virus replication impedance to point out how long ago this could have been solved?
Amazing insight once again from Prof. Keen. Thank you.
Thanks for this professional interpretation of crazy FED news.
I'd like a link to that other presentation on the more complex model as well, please, it seems terribly interesting. Doesn't matter if it's in French, I can understand it. Could you please post the link here when that happens? Merci.
I'm curious about how efficiencies in energy usage taking leaps forward in technology (e.g improvements in compute power, improved machines, ec) and energy creation & efficiency could be measured by using your modeling to illustrate how their role in driving outcomes. It would seem to a countervailing pressure against the limitations based on poor credit management,
Further, how impactful might transformational changes like quantum computing increasing compute power per kwh or functional fusion power where we might eventually harvest more power than input?
9:27 "…two of my favorite liars…" lol
Good discussion. Such a relief to hear an economist recognise ecology.
prof steve, can you suggest a reading list for budding economists
I've been using minsky for a while and there's nothing better for dynamic modeling of economics. I've done some import/export calculations, but I too have found that it is hard to model multiple countries that interact without getting too complicated. I wasn't aware that you could have multiple minsky files open at once, let alone connected to each other
