I'm finding it amongst the young students. There re enough young students who are looking to saying there's something wrong with this, and they go looking for an alternative. The financial crisis led to people like george thorrow's funding the institute for new economic thinking. And a hole range of progressive charities also providing finance to these groups. So i'm getting traction with them, but you can't get through to journalists. You can't get hrougdh of the politicians. You certainly cannot get through to neo classical economists. But perhaps some one even listening to this conversation.
On this episode, we meet with Economist, Author, and Research Fellow at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience, and Security at University College in London, Steve Keen.
Keen discusses how mainstream economics misses the centrality of energy to our economy and to our futures, the naive treatment to the risks of money and debt creation, and the disconnect economic theory has to climate change risks.
