The economist who called the 2008 financial crisis years before it hit is back with a far more urgent warning: we are sleepwalking into a global correction much larger than the Great Recession.
What does Professor Steve Keen see that the rest of the world is missing?
Today on The Diary Of A CEO, I’m joined by Steve Keen—the renegade economist and author who has spent decades dismantling traditional economic theory. Steve’s work doesn't just look at numbers on a screen; it focuses on the raw mechanics of debt, energy consumption, and the physical constraints of the real world that mainstream models often ignore.
In 2005, Steve was one of the few voices warning that skyrocketing private debt would trigger a global collapse. History proved him right. Now, he’s sounding the alarm again, arguing that the collision of geopolitical conflict, energy scarcity, and rapid technological disruption is creating a "polycrisis" we are dangerously unprepared for.
Throughout this conversation, we challenge the fundamental assumptions of modern life—like the myth of endless growth and the illusion of stable supply chains. If our entire system is built on foundations that no longer hold, the risks we face aren't just temporary cycles; they are structural failures.
We discuss:
The Global Food Crisis: Why a widespread famine could arrive much sooner than anticipated.
The 2027 Job Market: The specific industries and roles Steve believes will be obsolete within three years.
The Death of Entry-Level Work: Why the traditional career ladder is being dismantled in real-time.
The True Cost of War: The long-term economic fallout of current global conflicts that isn't being reported.
This episode isn't just a series of predictions; it’s a masterclass in how the world actually functions under extreme pressure. If you want to understand the collision of economics, energy, and AI, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.
