Some back story. Reading Steve Keen's book [*Debunking
Economics*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debunking_Economics){target="_blank"}
was one of the reasons I got interested in economics. So it's always
exciting to talk to one of your intellectual heroes.

I was also lucky enough to have Steve serve as the external examiner for
my PhD defense. Since then, he's been a tireless advocate for my
research. When you're taking on the economics orthodoxy, it's always
nice to have someone on your side. What's more, Steve was my very first
patreon supporter. Thanks Steve!
