Wow, what a good point he made about the second best.  Well done.

Finally !! some good sense !! as @heckler73 said it will change but WE have to work hard for it ;)

If I had $10k to spare, I would give it to Dr. Keen so he could give a seminar at my school. There are not enough economists like him (Bill Mitchell, Randall Wray, Seccareccia, Lavoie, Koo, Mantegna, Ha-joon Chang are others, and maybe Scott Fulwiller heheh, the rest are dead)... but WE are coming up... just wait... times are a changin'...

@heckler73 Thanks for mentioning these authors. I've already read Lavoie and Seccreccia, but I was at the bookstore when I saw a copy of "Bad Samaritans" by Ha-joon Chang. I remembered this comment and picked it up. It's been a really good read so far.

@jetmanisme Bad Samaritans is a great critique of Globalization. I actually used it as a source for an essay I wrote on the subject (along with many other journal papers).

That's funny you've read Seccareccia and Lavoie before; for me, they are the newest ones I've turned onto.

I am looking forward to the 2nd edition of "Monetary Economics" (Godley & Lavoie) due out in Dec.

@jetmanisme If you want a good read, have good look at 'between the wars', It's Galbraiths' account of the depression and beyond. I read it around 2004, it was basic (very basic) background stuff I read for our A.S-level history work on the depression and the war. It's crazy how similar it is to whats going on today. It's very funny too.

Those emails should've read "You are a Post Keynesian."
