Occupy Economics

Forums: 

'Another Great Depression is all but inevitable’ unless their is a major shift in world economic system - that's the view of Steve Keen.

Keen is one of the few economists to have predicted the global financial crisis.  He speaks favorably about the Occupy movment and makes suggestions on how to proceed. He also suggested occupying department of economics at universities, which teach the creditor dominant view of economics, which is not sustainable.

The free podcast will be on the BBC World Service, "Hardtalk" for two more days.  It is a must listen.

 P.S. How do I download a podcast from the BBC?  This one is worth listening too again.

(...makes some points I've long argued, but since non-professional economists couldn't possibly know anything, I've gotten nowhere with that... though apparently, that wasn't the problem...but rather that non-neoliberal economists couldn't possibly know anything, since till lately, he felt similarly....)
