The lectures were given by Steve Keen at the Exploring Economics Summer Academy 2017 in the workshop on Post-Keynesian Economics.

The first lectures start with the role of money in a monetary economy and explain the macroeconomic significance of admitting the reality that banks create money. The lectures continue with Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis and show how to model it. Lecture 3 explains that "the Physiocrats were the only school of thought to be consistent with the Laws of Thermodynamics in their model of production”, and derives a production function in which energy plays an essential role. The last lecture shows "that the Labour Theory of Value is incompatible with the Laws of Thermodynamics and is therefore fundamentally false. This Theory is also incompatible with Marx's dialectical philosophy, which is consistent with the Laws of Thermodynamics and with the philosophy of organicism that Winslow argued underlay Keynes's approach to economics”. Steve Keen shows that this philosophy can provide a coherent and structured approach to building a realistic new political economy.

Most mainstream neoclassical economists completely failed to anticipate the crisis which broke in 2007 and 2008. There is however a long tradition of economic analysis which emphasises how growth in a capitalist economy leads to an accumulation of tensions and results in periodic crises. This paper first reviews the work of Karl Marx who was one of the first writers to incorporate an analysis of periodic crisis in his analysis of capitalist accumulation. The paper then considers the approach of various subsequent Marxian writers, most of whom locate periodic cyclical crises within the framework of longer-term phases of capitalist development, the most recent of which is generally seen as having begun in the 1980s. The paper also looks at the analyses of Thorstein Veblen and Wesley Claire Mitchell, two US institutionalist economists who stressed the role of finance and its contribution to generating periodic crises, and the Italian Circuitist writers who stress the problematic challenge of ensuring that bank advances to productive enterprises can successfully be repaid.
