The scientist who made the digital world possible - Part 1

Steve Keen is an Economist and Honorary Professor at University College London and is currently lecturing at the University of Amsterdam.

In this episode, Steve explains the differences between neoclassical and post-Keynesian economics before discussing how concepts from complexity science and chaos theory can be used to develop economic models that actually factor in booms and busts.
