    The Crisis They Warned Us About: Why We Ignore Experts Until It’s Too Late

    What happens when the people who understand the risks are ignored?In this week’s episode, I explore why listening to genuine experts matters, especially when their warnings are uncomfortable, inconvenient, or years ahead of the crowd. My guest is Professor Steve Keen, one of a small group of well-known figures who warned about the conditions that led to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis before it unfolded.This conversation looks beyond the crash itself. It asks a bigger question: why do institutions, investors, policymakers, and the public so often dismiss the voices that challenge the consensus?From financial bubbles to economic fragility, Professor Keen’s warnings offer a powerful reminder that expertise is not always popular in the moment. Sometimes the people worth listening to are the ones telling us what we least want to hear.A timely episode about foresight, denial, credibility, and the cost of ignoring expert voices.
