Steve Keen is a glob­al­ly rec­og­nized econ­o­mist based at the Uni­ver­si­ty of West­ern Syd­ney, Aus­tralia. His writ­ings on the mechan­ics and dan­gers of debt-fueled eco­nom­ic growth have influ­enced reg­u­la­tors, finan­cial mar­ket par­tic­i­pants, and pro­gres­sive activists alike. In 2010 Keen won the Revere Award, award­ed by the Real-World Eco­nom­ics Asso­ci­a­tion to the world econ­o­mist who most accu­rate­ly pre­dict­ed the 2008-09 glob­al finan­cial cri­sis. His book Debunk­ing Eco­nom­ics (Zed Books, 2011) pro­vides a full cri­tique of the faulty assump­tions and meth­ods of neo­clas­si­cal eco­nom­ics; it is used as a text­book in uni­ver­si­ties around the world. Keen is cur­rent­ly a vis­it­ing schol­ar at the Fields Insti­tute for Research in Math­e­mat­i­cal Sci­ences.
