Why Neoclassical Economists Didnt See the Great Recession Coming
Mainstream "Neoclassical" Economists famously did not see the Great Recession coming, and when you look at their theories, it's no wonder. Their favourite model prior to the crisis goes by the name of "Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium", or DSGE. These models imagined that the entire economy could be modeled as a single individual. Yet neoclassical researchers proved decades ago that even a single market can't be modeled that way. I explain this proof while outlining the fundamental truth that "Neoclassical Economists Don't Understand Neoclassical Economics".

For 'Underemployed' the Great Recession Lingers

Economic Insecurity and the Great Recession
Economic Insecurity and the Great Recession The Rockefeller Foundation, the New America Foundation, and Yale University economic security expert Jacob Hacker present the release of "Economic Insecurity and the Great Recession." This launch event took place Monday, November 28, at 4:00 PM at the New America Foundation. This report is the first major update to the pioneering 2010 Economic Security Index (ESI) study, which demonstrated the breadth, persistence, and growing reach of American economic insecurity. The ESI, launched in July 2010, is the first index to provide a unified measure of the economic insecurity of American families. The ESI demonstrated that economic insecurity for American families in 2009 and 2010 was greater than at any time on record, with approximately one in five Americans experiencing a 25 percent or greater decline in available household income. Now, as income inequality and declining middle-class opportunity occupy the center of the national debate, "Economic Insecurity and the Great Recession" provides a unique and timely perspective on the past and present state of American economic security. "Economic Insecurity and the Great Recession" expands on the groundbreaking ESI with more up-to-date data as well as information about how different regions of the US have been affected by economic insecurity. In this video, EJ Dionne talks with Jacob Hacker, Jonathan Cohn, Matt Yglesias, and Lawrence Mishel about economic insecurity and other ESI ...

Debate: Progressive Economics and the Great Recession
The Great Recession has given way to a less-than-great recovery and the pressure is on for Washington to respond. ITIF President Rob Atkinson has taken on traditional Keynesians for pushing for additional public pump priming and for what he sees as their focus on distribution of the economic pie rather than the growth of the pie. But Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, rejects Atkinson's critique. In a recent exchange in Breakthrough Journal, he asserted Atkinson's "potshot" at progressive economics misses the mark in many respects. The two agreed to hash out their differences in a public debate. Is traditional stimulus spending and assistance to individuals useful but inadequate responses to the Great Recession? Does the slow recovery suggest something more is needed to restore US competitiveness, such as corporate tax reform that encourages innovation and investments in high-end manufacturing, more rigorous trade enforcement, and government support for R&D? Where do today's Keynesians and innovation economists find common ground?

Inequality and the Great Recession
The economic downturn that hit headlines in 2008 has fueled a rising tide of public anger and populist rhetoric. But it has yet to yield fresh thinking and robust debate about the exceptionally high level of wealth and income inequality in the United States. Please join the New America Foundation and The Nation magazine for a forum that aims to fill this gap. Four leading scholars will come together to examine inequalitys root causes and assess the economic policies of the Obama administration. Amid worrying signs of resurgent inequality, they will debate the most effective solutions in light of structural realities, political constraints, and global trends. www.newamerica.net

Where are the Jobs? The Parallels between Today and the Great Depression
The Great Recession officially ended way back in June of 2009, so why are so many Americans still out of work? It's not because politicians were twiddling their thumbs. Indeed, from from bailouts to "Cash for Clunkers" to the massive stimulus plan, government has busied itself with trying to fix the economy. And, according to President Obama, this "bold, persistent, experimentation" has brought our country back from the brink. Obama borrows that phrase from President Franklin Rooselvelt, and today's president has a lot in common with the original bold, persistent, experimenter. Like Obama, FDR was a charismatic Democrat who replaced an unpopular Republican during a time of crisis. And like Obama, FDR championed a slew of policies designed to get America back to work. Today many Americans credit FDR with rescuing our nation from the Great Depression, but there's plenty wrong with that view, says Lee Ohanian, a UCLA economics professor who specializes in economic crisis. "What's wrong with that view is that private-sector job growth did not come back under Roosevelt," says Ohanian, who notes that Americans often forget how long the Great Depression lasted. Unemployment stood at 17 percent in 1939, a decade after the infamous stock market crash, and, although times were much worse back then, Ohanian sees troubling parallels between the Great Depression and the Great Recession. In both instances our nation emerged from a severe downturn with strong productivity growth and the ...

Prof Steve Keen: Will there be a Double Dip in the USA? Part One
Professor Keen explains the private debt dynamics that caused both the Great Depression and the Great Recession. The Great Recession will end when private debt is much lower than it is now--even though it's fallen by 30% of GDP since the peak, it's still 100% higher than at the start of the Great Depression. A slowdown in the rate of decline of debt actually caused much of the recent recovery, but Professor Keen expects that this slowdown will pass and a double dip will occur. www.debtdeflation.com

Great Myths of the Great Depression!
www.fee.org/articles/great-myths-of-the-great-depression/ Many volumes have been written about the Great Depression of 1929-1941 and its impact on the lives of millions of Americans. Historians, economists and politicians have all combed the wreckage searching for the "black box" that will reveal the cause of the calamity. Sadly, all too many of them decide to abandon their search, finding it easier perhaps to circulate a host of false and harmful conclusions about the events of seven decades ago. Consequently, many people today continue to accept critiques of free-market capitalism that are unjustified and support government policies that are economically destructive. How bad was the Great Depression? Over the four years from 1929 to 1933, production at the nation's factories, mines and utilities fell by more than half. People's real disposable incomes dropped 28 percent. Stock prices collapsed to one-tenth of their pre-crash height. The number of unemployed Americans rose from 1.6 million in 1929 to 12.8 million in 1933. One of every four workers was out of a job at the Depression's nadir, and ugly rumors of revolt simmered for the first time since the Civil War...
CrossTalk: Banking Mafia
The banks can't help themselves when it comes to taking on risky investments that endanger not only their livelihood if they fail, but the economy of the entire country. Do the words Lehman Brothers mean nothing to the crew directing JP Morgan? Just as the "99 per cent" start to recover (maybe) from the Great Recession, the banks are again playing roulette with the global economy's future. Is the recent JP Morgan case merely another one-off miscalculation or is it actually a good reflection of the world of banking to this day? If the banks need to be reformed, then how should it be done and by whom? CrossTalking with Andrew Schiff, Sam Bowman and Robert Gnaizda.

The failure of Neoclassical Macro and the Monetary Circuit Theory Alternative
In writing Debunking Economics II, I realized a transcendental truth: neoclassical economists don't understand neoclassical economics. They instead have a superficial, textbook appreciation of their school of thought, which makes it appear coherent. But in fact deep research, often done by neoclassical economists, establishes that the theory is incoherent. I outline one essential aspect of this--the Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu conditions--and show that they are a "proof by contradiction" that market demand curves can have any shape at all, and therefore that even a single market can't be modeled by a simple aggregation of the behavior of rational agents--let alone an entire economy. And yet DSGE models treat the entire economy as a single agent (or at best two, whose tastes can be aggregated into demand functions that obey the "Law of Demand", in contradiction of the Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu results). I then show the statistical power of the Credit Accelerator explanation of the Great Depression and the Great Recession, outline my Monetary Circuit Theory approach, and show that it can simulate both the Great Moderation and the Great Recession.

Recession Thoughts: 44 Strategies
Tom Peters is frequently asked to provide the "secret" or the "clever strategies" for surviving and thriving in a great recession. Here are his 44 suggestions.
"Banned" US/China Ron Paul 2012 Commercial (unofficial)
A new television ad about the US national debt produced by Citizens Against Government Waste [and then edited by youtubers] has been deemed "too controversial" by major networks including ABC, A&E and The History Channel and will not be shown on those channels. The commercial is a homage to a 1986 ad that was entitled "The Deficit Trials" that was also banned by the major networks. Apparently telling the truth about the national debt is a little too "hot" for the major networks to handle. But perhaps it is time to tell the American people the truth. In 1986, the US national debt was around 2 trillion dollars. Today, it is rapidly approaching 14 trillion dollars. The American Dream is being ripped apart right in front of our eyes, but apparently some of the major networks don't want the American people to really understand what is going on. The truth is that the ad does not even have anything in it that should be offensive. The commercial is set in the year 2030, and the main character is a Chinese professor that is seen lecturing his students on the fall of great empires. As images of the United States are shown on a screen behind him, the Chinese professor tells his students the following about the behavior of great empires: "They all make the same mistakes. Turning their backs on the principles that made them great. America tried to spend and tax itself out of a great recession.
