[...] “Quantitative easing” is a government program of massive buying of assets from banks in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity through increasing the money supply. A “quantitative easing for the public” would give money to everybody. Those with no debt would be free to spend it as they wish, and those who received more money than the size of their debt would similarly have no obligations once they wiped out their debt. Dramatic as this idea is, Professor Keen is no revolutionary; he seeks to put capitalism on a firmer footing: [...]

Hello Prof. Steve Keen. I’m a undergraduate student from Peru and I just wanted to thank you for all the work and dedication you provide to this page. Right now I’m working on my graduating essay about the causal relations on debt and asset prices to explain the Two Lost Decades of Japan, with an attempt to provide a discrete time dynamic model in the paper. Minsky’s, Fisher’s, Dillard’s and your work have been an enlightened journey in contrast with all the contents that standard colleges around the world doesn’t provide.

Thank you and best wishes.

Thanks Peter,

I’d be happy to participate, but as I am no longer funded by a University, my participation would be dependent on having my travel and accommodaition costs covered.

Please contact me via debunking AT gmail DOT com so we can continue the conversation.

Prof. Keen: Dr. Carmine Gorga and myself are trying to put together a session for the forthcoming (Jan., 2014) mtg. of the AEA on “Unorthodox Models of the Economic System.” We will be presenting papers on the Mathematics, Geometry, and Econometrics of Concordian economics. Would you like to join our session as a presenter, referee, or panelist?

I appreciate your insights and accomplishments. More specific comments will follow in due course.

Meanwhile, best wishes for the full success of your Kickstarter campaign.

PETER BEARSE, Ph.D., Internationa Consulting Economist and author.
