    @lori @randomgeek The structural change was #Congress passing #Keynesian laws in the #1970s to more directly intervene in the #economy. They were responding to increased #inflation and #unemployment, exacerbated by the 1973 oil embargo.

    The resulting decades of whipsawing booms and busts came with quicker cycles of hiring binges and #layoffs.

  3. @pressprogress ah, the #FraserInstitute. The answer to the question of where do #Keynesian economists go when they can't earn a buck anymore.

  4. @Hamishcampbell
    Not bad at all.

    It was easy to see who the #Keynesian #deathCultist and who the #degrowth and #steadyStateEconomy proponent was. #sse

    If they talked a bit about where they thought bitcoin sat in amongst all this theory, it would have been perfect.

    They characterised #Nixon as #uncooperative (?). Could've gone a bit further and called him militaristic, #hawkish, etc. It was the #debts to #France re VietnamWar that sent #GoldStandard packing.

    Interesting re #1962!

  5. CW: New song by Robert Palmer - Addicted to Growth

    If you want a crash course in #economics replace the word 'love' with '#growth' and 'kiss' with '#bailout', in Palmer's 1986 song — it describes #Keynesian economics surprisingly well.

    If anyone wants an explanation of Keynesian vs #AustrianSchool economics, feel free to ask.

  6. When he's not too occupied selling #ModernMonetaryTheory, we absolutely love hearing from #SteveKeen about his proposal for booting out all the crusty #Keynesian #economists from #universities and #thinkTanks.

    His understanding of the impending #environmental issues and #collapse is undeniably precise too.

    We don't share #AmazonSoundcloud links on Fedi. If you use Tor (tell us the banner she is holding when you open Tor) and we'll supply a link to you.

  8. Yanis Varoufakis at TEDGlobal>Geneva
    "#Capitalism will eat #democracy — unless we speak up
    Have you wondered why politicians aren't what they used to be, why governments seem unable to solve real problems? Economist #YanisVaroufakis, the former Minister of Finance for Greece, says that it's because you can be in #politics today but not be in power -- because real power now belongs to those who control the #economy. He believes that the mega-rich and corporations are cannibalizing the #political sphere, causing financial crisis. In this talk, hear his dream for a world in which capital and labor no longer struggle against each other, "one that is simultaneously #libertarian, #Marxist and #Keynesian."
