This book by Michael Goodwin came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Steve Keen. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
A guide to the economy in graphic novel format traces the history of Western economic thought from its beginnings to the world economy in the twenty-first century.
“there's a little book Econ Comics taking the con out of Economics um so they should start with that”— Steve Keen
The guest here is Steve Keen: An Australian heterodox economist and longtime critic of mainstream neoclassical economics, known for predicting the 2008 crisis. He is a scholar of Karl Marx, author of 'Debunking Economics' and 'The New Economics: A Manifesto,' and creator of the open-source system-dynamics modeling software Minsky. Heterodox economist Steve Keen dissects Marx, capitalism, money creation, and why mainstream economics gets climate change catastrophically wrong.
