This was possible due to his understanding of money, debt, credit and mathematics as it plays a role in the economy.This "school" of economic thought is referred to as "post-Keynesian" school, as distinct and separate from "mainstream" economics, which currently the globally dominant (and structurally flawed) school of economic thought.Post-Keynesian is much more similar to a "hydraulic macroeconomic" model. Dr Keen generally references the work of John Maynard Keynes, Irving Fisher, Joseph Schumpeter, and Hyman Minsky as influences in helping him to understand money and economics in these terms.

He recalls seeing the fear in their eyes, how that look stayed with him and inspired him to become involved - offering help, in some way.He started promoting awareness and raising money for rescue and recovery projects of these trafficked children. Contacted by many people and local CBO (community based organizations) in Africa looking for help; one of these contacts was in Uganda. Wanting to see the situation in person (Vincent adheres to the philosophy of "being active on the ground level to get things done, not just talk about it.") he traveled to Kampala and witnessed children starving to death and struggling to survive. He knew that helping alleviate this suffering was to become a life mission.Since that time Vincent has become the Creative Director for the NGO - African Views (leading conferences at the International Peace Institute and the UN), become an Economic and Social Council to the United Nations (ECOSOC), and started a nonprofit organization - We Can Save Children - whose mission is to rescue and recover children in Africa and the Middle East. Whether these children are orphans, refugees, or poverty-stricken, the goal is to protect and provide aid (funds, resources and guidance) to help these children survive.Vincent is truly making a life-saving difference in the lives of these children - not just donating money, but being there for months at a time, personally helping save children from slavery, starvation, and dying from disease. His We Can Save Children organization provides them access to an education and an opportunity for a better future...and for the first time in their lives - hope!One of the newest projects involves over 1,200 orphaned children from Rwanda, South Sudan and Uganda in 3 different orphanages in Uganda. Vincent's foundation provides food, shelter, medications, clothing and education as well as important vocational skills. He has also purchased agricultural land, so they can be self-sustainable in terms of food.wecansavechildren.orgAbout Aaron WissnerAaron Wissner founded Local Future, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization which helps communities envision positive, "sustainable" futures.

What caused the flood?2. Why was that dam there?3. What is the future of dams?4. Did the current stay-at-home order in any way related to the event?5 .Was this inevitable?6. Is this the first recent flood of this sort, worldwide?7. What is the proper "ownership" of dams? The ones above, the ones below, etc.8. What will be the unexpected and unintended fallout both upstream and downstream?9.

Overshoot & Bottleneck - William Catton and Aaron Wissner | APSO 2011 | Local Future Local Future 2020-05-25 | Apologies for the poor, really just horrible audio. I did not make this video public for 9 years because of how horrible the audio is. And, I can't find the audio recording from my hand recorder... It may have been deleted. But, I don't want to prevent someone who might want to see this conversation from seeing it, such as it is. Instead of watching this, I recommend, highly recommend, you watch the talk linked below. If you wish, you can return to watch this video; and struggle through the worst audio you've probably ever heard on YouTube.William attended Manistee High School at the same time as my grandfather Ray Wissner. William and I met twice. And, he reminds me of my grandfather as well. This talk of Bill's is critical to understanding our predicament. Please take the hour to watch it"Where there is no vision, people perish." I've tried to suggest we see with ideas as well as with eyes. Where people lack vision enabling concepts, their vision will remain deficient: that holds for popes, princes, and presidents; and people at large. -- William R. Catton, Jr.Which is why I (Aaron) think everyone would be served well by reading the novel Ishmael by Daniel QuinnFast forward to the 8 minute mark to start Bill's talk.youtu.be/ca4S8I9MWw4?t=425William Robert Catton Jr. (January 15, 1926 – January 5, 2015) was an American sociologist best known for his scholarly work in environmental sociology and human ecology. Catton was known primarily for his 1980 book, Overshoot: The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change. Catton wrote three other books, including From Animistic to Naturalistic Sociology and his 2009 book Bottleneck: Humanity's Impending Impasse. In addition, he has authored numerous scholarly articles, book chapters and book reviews.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_R._Catton_Jr.
