Heute: Unlearning Economics
This blog is intended as an antidote to mainstream or neoclassical economics. Though other blogs like this exist, I feel few of them offer a ?ground up? critique. As an economics student, I can credibly claim to know what is taught on undergraduate courses, and hope to demonstrate clearly and intelligibly that much of it is built on incredibly suspect foundations, and is often internally contradictory.
I do not wish to define this blog only as a negative, though, and am particularly interested in popularising the fact that Keynes did have a lot to say about the cause of slumps, and emphasised prevention through monetary policy. Again, I am far from the first person to highlight this, but I feel it deserves more exposure.
I?d characterise myself as a post-Keynesian, but one who is finding it increasingly difficult to defend capitalism given recent events. I?m open to new economic ideas, though, no matter where they come from. ----------- 'Being a contrarian is tough, lonely and generally right'
