Alex Thomas' chat on his textbook youtu.be/PNtCjc55jXI BTW this textbook was a great primer for me into Macroeconomics, especially in the Indian context. I highly recommend it if you like pluralistic econ texts.

Saviez-vous que les Ă©conomistes, contrairement Ă  ce qu'ils vous bassinent, ignorent les causes de l'inflation et n'ont que des modĂšles empiriques, souvent dĂ©mentis par l'expĂ©rience? La FED (US) s’apprĂȘte Ă  mettre 10 millions de travailleurs Ă  la rue (par le biais d'une hausse du taux prĂ©fĂ©rentiel) prĂ©textant que cela diminuera l'inflation en diminuant les salaires. Sauf qu'il n'y a plus de correlation entre la hausse des salaires et l'indice des prix Ă  la conso depuis 20 ans!

Growth, growth, growth mentioned 20 times. Exponential growth in a closed system. When will macroeconomists recognize the physical impossibility of such a thing? And that past historical data are irrelevant now that physical limits begin to manifest themselves. More...

In order to present a realistic model of the economy, Steve Keen writes in one of his two chapters, “an essential first is to demonstrate to students that the ostensibly well-developed and coherent traditional model is in fact an empty shell”
