Skidelsky on Keynes and the Crisis of Capitalism

This is an excellent lecture by Robert Skidelsky (Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick) recorded on 7 October, 2009, on Keynes, a critique of neoclassical economics, and the financial crisis of 2008 and resulting global recession.

  3. They were both excellent and enlightening. I would have commented there, but have been a bit distracted myself with other work.

    Keen 2, Krugman 0.

    More seriously, I'll do a post on it at some stage.

  5. cool, Krugman's brusque dismissal definitely smelled funny. says something good though that he's being forced to acknowledge the heterodoxy.

  6. Good talk, but I was surprised to see Skidelsky endorse the "natural" rate of unemployment.
