Steve Keen On A Bunch Of Stuff
Click to viewThe audio is a speech he recently gave; the video his Powerpoint presentation accompanying the speech.
Wonk Alert: He rushes through the thing (probably due to time constraints), and presents info only economists would love. If you haven't read his blog or book, Debunking Economics--and even if you have, but aren't an econ prof--it might go over your head, like most of it did mine.
Oh, and in the presentation he mentions a back-and-forth pissing match between him and Paul Krugman. Do go to the blog and check out the entries on this match. It summerizes the key differences between economists the government and press turn to for econ advice, and the economists (like Keen) who actually predicted the economic crisis we're now in.
Later this afternoon, I keep catching up on Keen's blog and find this video from some "alternative" news station, Russia Today.
If this is their finance show, I'm a fan. They are, after all, talking about economic issues as if they were economic reporters, not fan-boys and fan-girls of investment houses and synchophants to the same rotten core of people who got us into this economic Jenga tower in the first place.
Oh, and LJ? Please stop converting the embed codes to shit that simply don't work. K? THNX.
