A way in to Minsky


At Debtwatch, a 16-minute talk by Steve Keen -- Oh! the accent reminds me of our computer guy at work.

Keen uses his Minsky software to model the economy under austerity and stimulus. It wasn't awesome, but I don't wish I could have my 16 minutes back.

Anyway, you can download both Minsky and the model from the link. Excellent, if you've been thinking about experimenting with Minsky.

19+ meg, as a zip file. Wow.

I'll let you know how it works out.

  1. "Error reading the file" during installation. Well that didn't take long.

  2. Second try: download aborted.

    Third try: same error as the first.

    Meanwhile, the lawn is growing.

    R.I.P. Minsky

  3. Had the same problem, but tried a trick I have used before. Go to the exe file and click on it. You might get a note that additional files will have to extract when this finishes go back to the msi file. I got mine to load and I was able to download the file and run the model.

The spam filter's been acting up again lately. I'm aware, and checking it often.
Oh, what fun they must have with this at Blogger!
