What is Wrong with Modern Economics? (Tony Lawson)

[@FromTheHeart2]

Nothing...NOTHING.. more galvanizing, uplifting, generous than a human being, a social scientist here, thinking and rolling out its thought in an ordered intelligent manner.

Excellent lecture. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@lzhfc5647]

The speaker should not confuse economics with mathematical models used in economic forecasting. the difference between the financial sector and the real part of the economy should also have been emphasized.

Didn't know that DANIEL RADCLIFFE went to Cambridge, hahhahahha

[@Skylark_Jones]

Is Mr Lawson saying ontology is about the real world we live in and economics regardless of theory is not based in the real world, it's disconnected from it?

[@schmetterling4477]

He is mostly saying that he wants your attention for his next level bullshit. ;-)

Amazing❤

[@schmetterling4477]

Yes, amazingly wrong. :-)

[@saturngenesis1306]

​@@schmetterling4477 Why do you think so?

[@schmetterling4477]

@@saturngenesis1306 Because modern economics has given you the most GDP per capita the human race has ever experienced. If that is "wrong" in your books, then I don't know what you were expecting? Golden toilet bowls for everyone? ;-)

Is there a transcript or subtitles available. I cannot understand a word he's saying.

[@sandracrawford9813]

I got to twenty minutes in I still did not have any idea of what is wrong with economics. It is a good job I already have a good idea, or I would never have known.....

The answers are provided by several economists who have had the courage to challenge neoclassical assertions. One is Joseph Stiglitz. Another is Mason Gaffney. Search for their online videos for some good insights.

With all due respect he went around in circles the whole lecture. Essentially repeating the same point over and over.

[@lowersaxon]

Not convincing.
