Rebooting Economics: The Need For A Strictly Monetary Theory Of Capitalism
28th November 2012: Prof. Steve Keen & Dr. Rendahl
CSEP's climactic end-of-term event was with Post-Keynesian Professor of Economics and Finance, Steve Keen. Dr Rendahl, a member of the Cambridge economics faculty specialising in macroeconomic theory provided an independent and contrasting perspective on the paper. Keen is an arch critic of neoclassical economics and was among the three economists awarded the Revere prize for those who first and most clearly anticipated and gave public warning of the global financial collapse and whose work is most likely to prevent another global financial collapse in the future. He is also the author of the best-selling book 'Debunking Economics' and blogs at Steve Keen's Debtwatch.
