Steve Keen
Steve Keen is Associate Professor of Economics & Finance at the University of Western Sydney. His popular book, Debunking Economics, explained how many widely believed economic models have been shown by economists to be wrong “hence the subtitle, the naked emperor of the social sciences”.
Since 1995, Keen’s main research focus has been the development an alternative, empirically-grounded theory, known as the “Financial Instability Hypothesis”, which argues that finance markets are inherently unstable. Steve’s forthcoming book on this topic, Finance and Economic Breakdown, will be published by Edward Elgar (UK) in 2011.
