EP 358 - We revisit our first chat with Steve Keen - author, friend of the podcast and the first economist to warn of the 2008 financial crash. Appropriately, given the COP29 was all about the money, we chat about how economists have totally trivialised the dangers of the climate crisis, and what that might mean for humanity.
We also discuss why trade unions are a good thing for the economy and why corporate behaviour in the UK would be better if we followed Germany’s model.
