The Kickstarter campaign for Minsky has been a success–almost $70,000 has been raised–but as with any software project, so much more can be done with more programming time. Each additional $140 buys another hour of programming by both Dr Russell Standish & Nathan Moses. We’ve done a lot with just over 1,000 hours of programming funded by the original INET Grant, and the money raised by Kickstarter will add roughly another 500 hours to that. But I estimate that to take Minsky to its full potential will take 10 to 20 thousand hours of programming.
So every extra pledge, no matter how small (or big!) takes us a step closer to that goal. If you’ve appreciated my blog over the last six years and my research on financial instability over the last 20 years, please show that appreciation now via a pledge for Minsky.
