Naked Keynesianism at 15!

A day like today, back in 2011, I wrote the first post on Naked Keynesianism. I was at the University of Utah then (that was still an heterodox place). I had been blogging for a while (at Triple Crisis, a joint effort), but nothing quite captured the kind of heterodox economics that mattered to me. The Review of Keynesian Economics (ROKE) did not yet exist. There were few spaces where the conversations many of us thought were essential were taking place openly and consistently. More than 2,000 posts and roughly 9 million views later, the blog has clearly passed its peak in terms of traffic, but it has taken on a life of its own.

As I noted 5 years ago, the blog is less of a teaching instrument for me now than it was at the beginning. I post some of that on the substack. I post less, but it still has some value added, I hope. Thanks to all my co-bloggers over the years, and to the readers who have made these fifteen years possible.
