Steve Keen Zitate

Steve Keen ist ein australischer Wirtschaftswissenschaftler. Bis 2013 war er ordentlicher Professor für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der University of Western Sydney. Seit dem September 2014 ist er Leiter des wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fachbereiches der Kingston University in London. Seit dem Dezember 2005 warnte er vor einer bevorstehenden globalen Finanz- und Staatsschuldenkrise. Keen ist ein Kritiker der neoklassischen Theorie, aber auch des Marxismus. Beiden Gesellschaftstheorien wirft er Inkonsistenz, unwissenschaftliches Verhalten und das Festhalten an empirisch widerlegten Behauptungen vor. Seine wichtigsten Einflüsse sind John Maynard Keynes, der US-Amerikaner Hyman P. Minsky, der italienische Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Piero Sraffa und der österreichische Ökonom Joseph Schumpeter. Keen begegnete Ende der 1980er Jahre an der Universität Sydney Yanis Varoufakis und ist seitdem persönlicher Freund des Spieltheoretikers, der von Januar bis Juli 2015 griechischer Finanzminister war.
