Steve Keen: Public Talk in Christchurch
Steve Keen is in New Zealand to present a range of seminars in Auckland and Wellington. He is also coming down to Christchurch to give a public talk. Details are below. It should be an interesting event.

Economist Steve Keen in New Zealand 6-10 Sept 2012
Author of best-selling book Debunking Economics, Steve Keen is Professor of Economics and Finance at the University of Western Sydney. He is a speaker of international renown and a voice of reason in confusing financial times. He was recently interviewed by Kim Hill on Radio NZ National and he’s crossing the ditch in September to talk to New Zealanders about the economy.
Professor Keen will present an evening public lecture in Christchurch:
Saturday 8th September at 5pm – C1 Lecture Theatre, University of Canterbury, Arts Rd, Ilam
Professor Keen will provide an overview of conventional economic theory, briefly cover its short-comings in dealing with the current financial situation, and outline his analysis as described in his book Debunking Economics. He will bring his discussion of the global economy right up to the present, and take a look at issues in New Zealand, including the housing market, debt levels and asset ownership, that affect our nation’s economic well-being.

All good stuff Raf. Still fiddling while Rome burns. Lol. You get that gong yet ?
All the time we have any sort of system that sets each individual against 7 billion others, on a sloped playing field, even genius’ like you are not going to fix it.
We are failing, not because we’re not smart enough or don’t have enough productivity, but because we’re all fighting for this currency stuff.
With the transition to a moneyless, barterless Resource Based Economy, ALL the problems are suddenly over because we all suddenly find ourselves on the SAME side. It’s that easy.
Keep up the good work..

The penny has not dropped yet (nor has the gong!) but one must continue to roll it, as one day it surely must? I wonder how Copernicus felt
Roll it we shall. The Concert looks amazing, especially with people doing proper essential tasks like repairing uninsured homes for the poor. Fantastic. Maybe this is how it begins. We’re going to do a similar event in Nelson. I’m trying to take over the Natureland zoo using moneyless principles. It’s a zoo now !
