Economic Myth Busters: Taking Down the Top Ten Myths Holding Back Progress

Economic Myth Busters: Taking Down the Top Ten Myths Holding Back Progress

Join Professors Steve Keen and John T. Harvey for a fast, funny, and fiercely insightful session where two of the world’s most outspoken heterodox economists bust the biggest economic myths shaping public debate and blocking real progress. From the tired old idea that “the government must balance its books like a household” to the belief that “banks just lend out deposits,” they’ll take aim at the misconceptions that keep us stuck in austerity thinking and prevent bold, necessary policy. 

Expect ten myth-busting moments — covering everything from inflation panic to public debt fearmongering — explained in plain language, with plenty of humour and audience interaction. This will be a no-jargon, high-energy myth-busting masterclass — perfect for anyone who’s ever suspected that what we’re told about “sound economics” might not be quite so sound after all.
