  1. OZ Professor Steve Keen always makes a lot of sense…Debunking Economics

    Episode 792

    https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/311512-episode-max-keiser-792/

    “In this summer solutions episode of the Keiser Report, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert are joined by Professor Steve Keen, author of Debunking Economics, to discuss the problem of household debt and an overly large finance sector. They discuss possible solutions, such as perhaps ending the practice of subsidizing too-big-to-fail banks”.

  2. Don’t forget to PROTEST AGAINST TPPA – our government is very keen to sign our sovereignty away. Just because they didn’t do it last week – they seem confident that they will next time. Show the government the people mean business!
