The original focus of my academic career was the misinterpretation of Marx by his supposed followers. This thesis, which was written in 1989-90 for my Masters degree at the University of New South Wales, led to my first two academic papers, both published in the
Hegel was indeed enlightened. His dialectic is a precise codification of the process and mindset of wisdom which being the intellectual impulse of integrating/synthesizing opposites is the superior human mental discipline. Lack/refusal to integrate the truth(s) in opposites leads to the obsessive-compulsive dualism and hence rigid orthodoxies we increasingly see today, particularly in economics and politics. Wisdom should not (necessarily) be confused with religion which far too often has ended up simply being the creation of another orthodox and contentious dualism. Again, wisdom is the integrative/synthesizing mental process.
New paradigms like wisdom insights are deep truthful simplicities in that they are single operant concepts, that applied, synthesize opposites and create and change entire patterns. They are cybernetics, helio-centrism and agriculture, homesteading and urbanization. Authentic new paradigm concepts are the ultimate mental and temporal universe integrative phenomena.
Let us have a new paradigm in economics that deals with what you Dr. Keen have correctly identified as the area that neo-classical macro would have us ignore, namely money, debt and banks.
