Evonomics: The Next Evolution of Economics

"When a business-school-trained CEO takes over a firm, wages fall and labor’s share of income drops, with no gain in productivity. In the U.S. & Denmark, what passes for the “managerial skill” of business-school graduates turns out to be a transfer of wealth away from workers & toward shareholders."

Sam Bowles argues that extreme wealth inequality makes economies less productive: It allows the wealthy to concentrate political power, protect their privileges, and shape economic rules in their favor—at the expense of innovation, opportunity, and productivity. #economics #capitalism #inequality

Extreme inequality isn't simply about some people having vastly more money than others. Wealth can buy political influence, shape regulation, control media and technology platforms, and give a small number of corporations and individuals enormous influence over the institutions of democracy.

l.facebook.com“The real problem isn't deficits, It's Neoliberalism“ Top Economist warnsLearn 50+ Years of Economics in Only 7 Weeks, by applying here: https://www.stevekeen.com This video is an extended version of previous video - "Deficits aren't the danger to the US, THIS is..." Top Economist warns (Plus get Ravel — the economic visualization software used in this video — as a bonus if you’re accepted and join.) Economist Steve Keen explains how decades of neoliberal U.S. policies have turned government deficits into a dangerous economic cycle. Using clear double-entry accounting and Ravel visualizations, Steve reveals how the obsession with balanced budgets and market deregulation has weakened the real economy, inflated private debt, and set the stage for financial collapse. He breaks down how bank lending still creates most of the money in circulation, why government deficits actually build deposits and reserves, and how open-market operations merely reshuffle assets instead of generating real wealth. Finally, Steve proposes a Modern Debt Jubilee — a practical path to reset the system, reduce unpayable private debts, and restore long-term financial stability without falling into the illusion of “printing money.” In this breakdown, you’ll discover: ✅ Cash vs digital money: why the press in DC is a sideshow ✅ Government spending and taxes in the ledger: deposits up, taxes down — what really changes ✅ Reserves 101: what banks can and can’t do with them (and why they aren’t “spendable” money) ✅ Deficit mechanics: why deficits create both money and reserves, surpluses destroy them ✅ The eight entries you need to model government money creation (beyond simple double entry) ✅ Why “borrowed from the private sector” is an accounting myth in loanable-funds models ✅ How OMOs and QE actually work: when they create money, when they don’t ✅ The data picture: since 2000, most new money has been credit-backed (private), not fiscal ✅ Why government negative financial equity is normal — and necessary for private net financial assets Key insights: • Deficit is not a bug — it’s the feature that creates net financial assets for the private sector. • Reserves are bank-to-central-bank balances; they support payments and bond settlement, not your latte. • Open-market operations with non-banks can create money; purchases from banks swap assets inside the banking system. • Loanable-funds thinking explodes government debt in theory because it excludes money creation in the first place. • Accounting done properly shows government negative financial equity mirrors private positive equity. ----- What did you think of the eight-entry walkthrough and the OMO/QE distinctions?
