Steve Keen
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.
