I’d never miss an episode. It’s fun and informative. If only politicians would listen!
This podcast (and Keen in general) miss an amazing opportunity to educate people instead of shadow boxing with neoclassical economists. Instead of attacking neoclassical economists, why not actually explain a current event or popular economic question or issue without referencing the dumb neoclassical perspective?
I really enjoyed the analysis in the manufacturing fetishizing episode. It's great to listen to smart people discussing economics.
