Neo classical economists have no real concepts of times, he says. Most aren't even aware of how their own theories developed overtime,. Little under they are rivalwise to think about the economy. They will often reason as if the entire economy is a single utility maximizing individual who works in the factory that he owns for a wage rate set by his marginal products and invests for an indefinite future.
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.
