Stephen Sackur talks to the influential contrarian economist,
Steve Keen. It's a good time to be an economist who swims against
the tide of conventional wisdom. After all the last decade has
seen classical economics take a beating: the great financial
crash wasn't supposed to happen, nor was the prolonged eurozone
stagnation. Now the liberal economic consensus tells us that
Brexit will be a disaster, but should we believe it? Amid all the
argument do any economists deserve our trust?
