So Professor Keen is making almost $10k a month on Patreon, so he can
"reform economics", so capitalism can be saved and managed by Keenean

"The fall 2019 Munk Debate moves the motion: The capitalist system is
broken. It’s time to try something different. Katrina vanden Heuvel,
editorial director and publisher of The Nation, and Washington Post
columnist, and Yanis Varoufakis, economist, author, and Greece's former
finance minister, are arguing for the motion. Speaking against the motion
are Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and author, and David Brooks,
political commentator, New York Times columnist, and author. Rudyard
Griffiths moderates the debate from Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto."
