Neoclassical Sheep Walk
As the old paradigm crumbles, the fatal flaws of neoclassical economics are quickly being exposed to the world. This is a time of reawakening and rebirth: the age in which a new, more chaotic, more biologically and ecologically based paradigm is struggling to be born. This is the moment to align ourselves with the mavericks – to become agitators and provocateurs. This is the moment to openly challenge our professors and their neoclassical dogma and force the world to face the havoc their models have wrought. You can start by printing off the Kick it Over Manifesto and nailing it, Martin Luther-style, to your professor’s door. Then try staging a Neoclassical Sheep Walk down the corridor of your economics department.
Make this global campus uprising unstoppable.
You can download the manifesto at kickitover.org.

The mistake that Lloyd and and every other Austrian/Chicago School economist make is the assumption that in a purely free market there will be some sort of equilibrium. There is no such equilibrium. Full employment doesn't exist. There is no room for environmental value in the free market. The inertia of capitalism moves towards exploitation because thats all it knows. The less regulation, the easier the exploitation.
And the idea that gov't regulations caused the financial crisis is the most ridiculous right-wing talking point of all. Apparently you have forgot the deregulation of the Reagan years as well as the deregulation of the clinton years.
