This lecture explains why neoclassical DSGE models are inherently incapable of modeling the macroeconomy, outlines my model of Minsky's "Financial Instability Hypothesis, and shows how to build a basic model of a credit economy using QED. It concludes with a lengthy Q&A session where the questions are mainly in Spanish, since this lecture was given at the University of Buenos Aires.

  • @ApocalypticAang Money being created out of credit is a monetary imbalance in itself. It implies that whoever or whatever entity created the money is owner of all the money in circulation and that all this money should be paid back. Therefore in effect your money is not yours it belongs to the central bank.

  • There's nothing criminal about fractional reserve banking if you remember that “credit-money” is just a promise, aka a contract with counterparty risk (the bank may not pay up)-- so trying to ban it is like trying to ban contracts...

    May I remind you that, as Prof Keen pointed out, the trouble with neo-classical economics is “Strong Reductionism” (trying to make the real world SEEM less “complicated”)

    Now what's criminal would be NOT heavily regulating banking-- as with any public utility

  • Steve Keens ROCKS! Gday Brazil from Australia!

  • Has anyone used Dr Keen's model with a currency like President Lincoln's Greenbacks.?

    Has anyone even thought about a ban on fractional reserve banking and what that would do?

    I am normally just an essayist but I did read a booklet on money and banking when I was 9 years-old that convinced me bankers were criminals. Please enter this into Google:

    25 Reasons To Absolutely Despise Bankers And Their Minions

    I wrote it.
