My hero!

Banks: "parasites... financial bastards... should never have lent the money in the first place... bankrupt them... nationalise them... cancel debt... or the economy will die... never-ending Depression."

Straight-talking Aussie economist Steve Keen, talking to teeth-clenched grinning, gonzo (but still on the money, in my opinion) "Wall Street are terrorists" Max Keiser.

  2. Hi Jim

    I follow Credit Writedowns, where this is - I also sometimes follow Max Keiser, though I don't always have the time for video clips; and I follow Steve Keen's Debtwatch site. See my Other Frequent Reads in the sidebar.

    Keen is amlost American in his forthrightness, wouldn't you say?

  4. I stumbled upon Steve Keen, too a month or so ago, while surfing the Max Keiser site.
    I sure is a pleasure to hear this kind of straight talk.

    As it happens, Steve Keen paid a visit to Helsinki, Finland last week. Living i Finland myself I rushed to hear his lecture expecting some hot stuff... but to my disapointment he said nothing like this on his live talk i Helsinki.

    Helsinki seminar

    (hardly worth listening to)


    Here is Steve Keen´s website:

    (..but still not much hot stuff, I am afraid)

  5. Thanks, Lars. At least the Internet allows us to see the occasions when they really do sound off!
