My good friend (and Patron!) Paul Gambles took advantage of my holiday in Thailand (en route to Sydney for a sister’s 60th birthday party) to arrange a talk at Chulalongkorn University.

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.
