In 2010, the Revere Prize that followed had 1,152 votes from 2,500+ economists. More than twice Roubini and Baker combined. This is Rebel Economics with Professor Steve Keen. The same patented Ravel© framework now runs for ministries of finance, central bank advisors, and sovereign wealth funds. Stock-flow consistent.

Why is the retirement crisis forcing millions to work past 65? It isn't a failure of personal savings, it is a direct result of neoliberalism. In this video, Steve Keen uses historical analysis, accounting consistency, and system-dynamics models to explain how modern finance drifted away from reality and toward abstract mathematical elegance. By excluding banks, money creation, and private debt from dominant models, mainstream economists have repeatedly failed to anticipate systemic breakdowns like the 2008 financial crisis. Keen challenges the dangerous belief that markets automatically self-correct a view that has shaped disastrous policy on investing, US trade, and deregulation. In this video, we cover: ✅ The Real Cause: How ignoring debt dynamics led to misdiagnosing recessions and underestimating the fragility of the US economy. ✅ Historical Parallels: Lessons from the Great Depression and how they apply to the fears of a 2025 financial crisis. ✅ Future Risks: Why conventional economics struggles to explain rising inequality and the warning signs of a US economy crash or 2025 Depression. ✅ Global Impact: How the US trade deficit and current trade war debates under leaders like Donald Trump fit into the broader world economy crash narrative. If we want to fix the retirement crisis and prevent another economic crash 2026, we must restore financial realism to economics. ----- What did you think of the eight-entry walkthrough and the OMO/QE distinctions?
