EP 358 - We revisit our first chat with Steve Keen - author, friend of the podcast and the first economist to warn of the 2008 financial crash. Appropriately, given the COP29 was all about the money, we chat about how economists have totally trivialised the dangers of the climate crisis, and what that might mean for humanity.We also discuss why trade unions are a good thing for the economy and why corporate behaviour in the UK would be better if we followed Germany’s model.Spotify Video Chapters (only):00:00 BWB Re-Visited with Steve Keen01:17 Meet Steve01:56 Steve's Achievements02:52 Frustrations with Economic Predictions04:52 Climate Change: The Real Threat14:45 The Role of Trade Unions18:52 Government's Role in Society23:04 Brexit and Its Aftermath26:04 Business Practices and Economic Theories29:11 Quickfire - Get To Know Steve30:53 Getting Fired and Office Politics33:29 Inspirational Teachers and Career Choices35:11 Economics and Financial Crises38:41 Life, Mistakes, and Advice47:00 Business or Bullshit Quiz!51:51 Final Thoughtsbusinesswithoutbullshit.meWatch us on YouTubeFollow us:InstagramTikTokLinkedinTwitterIf you'd like to be on the show, get in contact - [email protected] is powered by Oury Clark
