Progressive Economics from John Maynard Keynes and the New Deal to John Kenneth Galbraith and Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. This is low-budget, heretical economics from the other side of the tracks: the Commons and public goods, the centrality of effective demand, and the institutional chaos surrounding domination of the economy by a corporate oligarchy. Three episodes a week. Monday explores a statistical or informational current. Wednesday takes a look at an economic tool or concept. Sunday looks at the issue of the week, Forecast, Macro issue, innovation and a low carbon future, or policy prescriptions (other than wringing our hands). Supply Side prescriptions have produced contradictions that threaten our future. The market-selected winners are fiddling while global warming, poverty and economic decline blaze unchecked.
