Steve Keene is a post-Keynesian economist who has spent the last fifty years criticizing mainstream economics as inconsistent, unscientific, and empirically unsupported. As part of his effort to rebuild the discipline with a more complete understanding of the relationship between humans and their environment, Keen has begun developing alternative economic models that could be used to fairly redistribute wealth from the richest 1% to the rest of us, and to accurately evaluate the worth of clean air, clean water, and a healthy biosphere. We talk about the way that almost all civilizations end because of climate change, and what that means for our own world.
