I believe Steve Keen is a liar because his stupidity level is inconsistent. Occasionally he even says sophisticated correct things.
@Alrenous Would love to read an intellectual-turing-test-coherent steelmanned representation + demolition of Keen. VoxDay is big on him.

@i_contemplate_ I'll put it on my to-do list. He spews a lot of ink in the water, so it's hard to find his actual, concrete views. -
@i_contemplate_ Vox thinks Keen thinks debt is necessary for growth. I think only making more stuff is necessary for growth. -
@Alrenous I do find it curious that mainstream economists deny that credit can act as money. Not sure what to think but it's a concrete e.g. -
@i_contemplate_ Originally it was because each dollar of loan had a corresponding dollar of debt, thus the demand effect cancels out. -
@i_contemplate_ Once it became legal for banks to poof dollar balances into reality, this assumption stopped holding but they didn't update. -
@Alrenous Okay right, so that's why perhaps Vox and Keen may have something new and true to tell us. -
@i_contemplate_ What's true is rarely new, it's usually watered-down Austrianism. -
@Alrenous Then perhaps explain (in a post) how this credit-money equivalency is now watered-down Austrianism. Really keen (pun intended) - 1 more reply
