The Big Idea
Konstantin Kisin warns that mass immigration, uncompetitive welfare spending, and energy restrictions trigger economic stagnation and populist civil unrest, advocating for cheap energy and border enforcement. Conversely, Steve Keen asserts that neoclassical capitalism and privatization failed, predicting imminent climate collapse and global famine from energy overuse and Middle East supply chain disruptions. While Keen champions Chinese style state infrastructure and universal income to survive technological displacement, Kisin rejects communist governance, urging individual focus on personal meaning.
