Steve Keen
After the meeting last night in Celbridge (11/9/2012) I had a look again at Steve Keen's appearances in Ireland. He is the author of Debunking Economics and spoke at a meeting organised by IIEA in Dublin on Nov. 15 2011 and again in April 2012. There is a video of the first meeting available online. It is 42 minutes long and is a scathing attack on neoclassical theory from several aspects including its Theory of Equilibrium, Law of Demand and theory of Money. It is very strong but condensed and a bit technical in places. It includes much material from his book but in very concise form.
I accessed it through the ASPO Ireland website. Of course Keen has his own websites which contain some shorter videos of his ideas.
