Wow, what a Neoclassical love-in. Having experienced and appreciated Jan's obvious talent in teaching neoclassical macro-economics myself, I have always found it to be such a shame that it was paraded as the undisputed be-all-&-end all of economics. Really the course should be called 'neoclassical Macroeconomics', just as a Marxist or Institutionalist class would likely be named.

33mins - what a willfully negligent and immature discussion of serious problems stemming from unsustainable growth

"It's still animal.. it's still nature in some degree"...

Yep, right.. no worries Dr. Libich.
