Keen first compares neoclassical approaches to modelling with heterodox ones. Then he discusses in length the required assumptions and the inconsistencies of the aggregate demand and supply model, which is extrapolated from a micro perspective. At the end some dynamic models with feedback mechanisms are shown.

In this video, the most famed biographer of John Maynard Keynes, Robert Skidelsky, explores the foundations of Keynesian economics 2010 Level: débutant Keynesian Economics - It's All About Spending Robert Skidelsky EconStories Die moderne Akademia bietet keine guten Rahmenbedingungen für gesellschaftskritische Transformationsforschung. Eine Reform sollte an vier Punkten ansetzen. Ein Beitrag von Stephan Pühringer und Carina Altreiter. 2023 Level: débutant Die (selbstauferlegten) Grenzen der Wissenschaft Stephan Pühringer und Carina Altreiter Economists for Future In this lecture Ben Fine aims at stimulating interest for and explaining the relevance of Marxist Political Economy. Ben Fine dedicates the first half of his comprehensible lecture to the question on how mainstream economics became the way it is by explaining its key concepts and how those evolved during the past 150 years. While critically reflecting those concept he also emphasizes that mainstream economics does not consider historical processes. This is the point of departure on his presentation of the core terms and crucial categories of Marxist Political Economy: e.g. the production process and class relations (Part 1). Part 2 examines the consequences of the capitalist mode of production and its propensity to crises. Ben Fine illustrates this Marxist analysis with the example of the current crisis and explains current conditions for the accumulation of capital. 2014 Level: débutant Introduction to Marxist Economics (Part 1) Ben Fine Post-Crash Economics Society The Centre for Economy Studies works on improving and modernising economics education to ensure that students will be better prepared for their future careers and the societal challenges we face today and in the coming decades.
