Steve Keen: Eliminate Economists to Save the World

EP 358 - We revisit our first chat with Steve Keen - author,
friend of the podcast and the first economist to warn of the 2008
financial crash. Appropriately, given the COP29 was all about the
money, we chat about how economists have totally trivialised the
dangers of the climate crisis, and what that might mean for
humanity.


We also discuss why trade unions are a good thing for the economy
and why corporate behaviour in the UK would be better if we
followed Germany’s model.
