Dr. Carey W King joins the live steam as a special guest. Dr. King performs interdisciplinary research related to how energy systems interact within the economy and environment as well as how our policy and social systems can make decisions and tradeoffs among these often competing factors.

Steve Keen for the win (pension segment)

https://carbontracker.org/reports/loading-the-dice-against-pensions/

The pdf is a straightforward read and summarizes Keen’s findings on Nordhaus’ extraordinarily harmful and scholarly negligent papers. He won an economics “nobel” prize for it. If you have retirement fund, feel free to press them. The way to make business care is pressing their ‘nads.

Energy Economics with Taimur Ahmad

2 hrs video

a small cadre of economists deal with the real world and are accounting for energy's central role in growth in the economy and the consequences of climate change. these are the voices of economics grounded in the real world who can contribute to facing climate change. standard economics does not. policy advised by them is folly

#SteveKeen is mijn favoriete econoom. In dit stuk kun je zijn frustratie met #mainstream economen proeven:

https://iai.tv/articles/the-fantasy-economics-of-the-nobel-prize-auid-2279

Alleen vraag ik me wel af hoeveel mensen hij bereikt met zijn boodschap op deze manier te #presenteren.

#HenryFord about creating #money:
"Now, I see a way by which our Government can get this great work [building a hydroelectric plant] completed without paying a nickel to the money sellers. It is as sound as granite. and there is but one thing hard about it. It is so simple and easy that, maybe, home folks can't see it.

"The Government needs $40,000,000. That is 2,000,000 twenty-dollar bills. Let the Government issue those bills and with them pay every expense connected with the completion of the dam.

"Well, what is there behind a bond or this bill that makes it acceptable. Simply this, the good faith and credit of the American people, and twenty-dollar bills issued by the Government to complete this great public improvement would have just as much of the good faith and credit of the American people behind them as any bond or other American #currency ever issued."

"Steve Keen has been exposing the ways mainstream #NeoclassicalEconomists—including winners of the so-called Nobel Prize in Economics— have been arriving at their absurdly optimistic numbers regarding #ClimateChange, and they’re terrifying. In this interview with Colin Bruce Anthes, Keen goes through prevalent examples in detail .. "

@Jimijamflimflam #SteveKeen has rubbished the conservative economic trivialization of climate change along with most of its assertions regarding the nature of macro. Hers also identified their lacuna. Notably neoliberal economics is an expression of wealth’s view of the world.

The very rich tend as a social class to tend to vanity, pride, hubris and folly.

Any #econtwit peeps know if #SteveKeen is headed this way?

Great talk from economist Steve Keen with Meer (https://www.meer.org/) about climate change and why economist don’t include Energy in their models.

@foxylad @pluralistic nose a bit into #SteveKeen Debunking Economics, because the mainstream field is rife with shoddy scholarship and provably wrong hypotheses like "perfect markets" and their ideas around marginal value. This dismantling correctly frames neoliberalism (Reaganomics) as the garbage it is

@sj_zero
> "More will be sent to bankers"

Creditors not necessarily bankers.

Also don't forget they still have a moneyPump to bailOut there friends.

Professor #SteveKeen has a decent idea to pay down #debt while ensuring regular people and #savers are not disadvantaged but its unknown by us whether he has the ear of govts.

Also we are not fans of #JobGuarantee propositions — #degrowth is needed.

We find that monetary policy is really downstream from energy, though – and #peakOil.

@openrisk@mastodon.green
Without watching it sounds like what Prof. #SteveKeen has been pushing for over a year now? The main problem with them that we see is they require, de-anonomising ppl in terms of when and what they do.

The actual remedy is moving to a #hardCurrency. There should be no way to stoke bubbles in an #economy, because it always leads to great #inequality with some ppl getting more help than others.

Taxing #consumption evenly based on #embeddedEnergy is best, and a #UBI.
@douginamug

When he's not too occupied selling #ModernMonetaryTheory, we absolutely love hearing from #SteveKeen about his proposal for booting out all the crusty #Keynesian #economists from #universities and #thinkTanks.

His understanding of the impending #environmental issues and #collapse is undeniably precise too.

We don't share #AmazonSoundcloud links on Fedi. If you use Tor (tell us the banner she is holding when you open Tor) and we'll supply a link to you.

@pluralistic I'd also recommend Stephen Alan Marglin, a heterodox Harvard economist who's writen on failures and history of economic ideology. Notably:

• "What Bosses Do" on management vs. labour. Article, 1974.
• The Dismal Science, book, 2008. Originated as an alternative economics course at Harvard.

Also Mason Gaffney, the Corruption of Economics: Neo-Classical Economics as a Strategem against Henry George (1994) which is a deep dive into the history of the economic canon and its development.

http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=92B189968274B425F8008D2ACF94323F

I'm also a fan of Steve Keen and John Quiglan.

It bares repeating to you, #Malthus predicted a third direction for humanity, in which we respect our #planetaryBounds.

Also, #LimitsToGrowth have been showing themselves in ways you seem not aware of. AlbertBartlett is celebrated for a reason and we strongly encourage anyone reading this to check out his lecture.

There's also #SpaceShipEconomy. We are not huge fans of #SteveKeen's #DebtJubilee ideas but he is right about climate issues

@vidak

Aside from calls for a #DebtJubilee that would, it seems, only really benefit debtors, and encourage more reckless borrowing for #consumption that hurts savers, Prof. #SteveKeen's interview on #RenegadeInc this week has some things to say about climate catastophies.

Both enlightening and troubling:

@strypey
We love #SteveKeen's ideas.

His work alongside #KevinRudd, to fight the #GFC in #Australia by giving some cash to everyone to spend how they need was a far cry from the #bailOutTheBanks idea out of the #US.

To be fair, since #repoCrisis last year every #literate pundit and his dog was waiting for this. Even before then people knew #wallSt were dependant on #greaterFools to support the #ponziScheme and #debtBubble. With close to #NegativeInterestRates etc.

This talk seems like something #NAShow producers would be interested in. #Australian #Economist #SteveKeen talks #debtJubilee, #QEForThePeople vs. #QE for #WallStreet #Banksters, and other alternative economic strategies to actually "fix" the "Walking Dead" and "Zombies to be" #economies.
