Mainstream economists failed to anticipate the great
financial crash of 2007-8. In this talk, Professor Steve Keen will share his
view on the bigger picture – including recent financial developments around the
world. He will review options for the future of economics, highlight the
little-understood importance of debt, and argue that significant debt
write-downs are needed in order to limit future financial crashes.
Steve Keen is a
Professor of Economics & Head of the School of Economics, History &
Politics at Kingston University. He was one of the handful of economists to
realise that a serious economic crisis was imminent, and to publicly warn of
it, from as early as December 2005.
A staunch critic of mainstream economics, his book Debunking
Economics is now in its 2nd edition and has been translated into
Chinese, French and Spanish.
The event will be moderated by David Wood, Chair of London
Futurists. The talk will be followed by audience Q&A.
A cash bar will be available at the event. Afterwards, there
will be the chance to continue the discussion at a nearby pub.
Organised in partnership with the London Futurists
London Futurists hold regular speaker events to explore
radical scenarios for the next 3-40 years.
