The latter two are explained to some detailed with reference to money creation, central banking and long term crisis tendencies.

In this keynote speech, Roger Backhouse gives a historical overview of theories on secular stagnation: how it evolved from a description of the economic situation, especially in the U.S. of the 1930s to an analytical tool and then lost importance until its current revival. Backhouse touches upon the contributions of J. A. Hobson, Alvin Hansen, Evsey Domar and Paul Samuelson.
In this keynote lecture during the conference „The Spectre of Stagnation? Europe in the World Economy“, Till van Treek presents research on how changes in income distribution lead to macroeconomic instability and crisis, focusing on currents accounts. Treek presents the relative income hypothesis in contrast to other mainstream and Post-Keynesian explanations. The relative income hypothesis proposes that aggregate demand increases and savings decrease with rising personal income inequality due to upward looking status comparison – but effects depend on the quantile where income inequality increases. Treek points to the importance of accounting for both income and functional income distribution and underlines his arguments with data comparing different pattern in Germany and the U.S.
Helge Peukert referiert über die Entwicklung des Finanzsystems in Europa nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Dabei erläutert er verschiedene Ursachen der Eurokrise, die Rolle von Schulden bei der Geldschöpfung und die Auswirkungen dessen in Finanzkrisen.

Jospeh Huber diskutiert zunächst zwei unterschiedliche Kreislaufsysteme von Geld von Privatbanken und Zentralbankgeld. Dann erläutert er, wie Geldschöpfung auf der Ausweitung der Bilanzen von Banken, also Schulden, basiert und somit zu Vermögensinflation, Blasen, Finanzkrise, Schuldenkrisen und einer Umverteilung von Realgütern von Arbeit zu Kapital führt. Nach Huber würden diese Probleme verschwinden, wenn Geldschöpfung Zentralbanken vorbehalten wäre und über den Staat in den Geldkreislauf gebracht würde. In den letzten 45 Minuten der Vorlesung werden Fragen aus dem Publikum beantwortet.

More fundamentally, mainstream economics deals with market systems, when what is needed to limit the virus’s spread is a command system.
