Workshop on New Economics by Prof. Steve Keen at Center of Islamic Economics, International Islamic University of Malaysia

Prof. Keen provided many reasons to be confident in looking at alternatives to neoclassical. The key takeaways are that money should not be seen as a commodity, private debt creation should be within limits and focused on asset creation, government shall put money in productive capacity, limit imports to the limit of exports or thereabout rather than borrowing in foreign exchange and limiting financial sector share in GDP to allow more share in pie to the workers and firms.
