How do we become “browser members”, please? I can’t find a link to this anywhere.
Thanks!

On to it now Andrew! I had mistakenly thought it was covered by the Login widget atop the site.
August 26, 2011 at 10:06 pm
I noted that two people had been successful; It seems if you try to sign in before joining, the system takes you to a page with a “Register” link. I’ll now see if I can set that up automatically, but it is there as a manual route right now.
August 26, 2011 at 10:08 pm
Done. There’s now a link below the paying members table. I’ll try to improve that but for now, that works.

Hello Steve
Thanks – I’ve just taken out Fellow membership of CfES.
I wouldn’t mind attending your AGM, unfortunately I’m in Melbourne, so, a bit of an extravagance – Oh well!
Cheers

Hi, Steve.
Greetings from Melbourne. I appreciate the work you are doing.
Back on 29 August I paid 13 A$ by direct deposit. I used reference VK (my username).
Today I tried to check what is in the recording area and got redirected here.
Whenever you have some spare time could you double check what is going on? I have the feeling that the payment has’n been processed and I am still on “browser” level.
September 14, 2011 at 10:41 am
Hi,
I just joined, but I don’t think my payment is associated with my account. It wanted me to make another account after paying, but I want to keep the one I already have. Is there any way you can activate my account?
September 14, 2011 at 11:47 am
Hi Joseph,
TO make that possible I have to add an “upgrade” button. I’ll do that tomorrow–it’s getting late here now in Sydney. I’ve upgraded you to Associate manually in the meantime.
Cheers, steve

Hi Pola,
It may be that paperbacks are easier to organise, in which case all people who have been promised an eBook will receive a paperback when it is available.
Cheers, Steve

Dear Steve
I am just over half way through the first edition of Debunking Economics and reading about the lack of experimentation. One problem with conventional economics is that it tries to be mathematical and scientific and ignores consciousness and subjectivity.
Take a look at the work of Ken Cavanaugh and Kurleight King
Conference Proceedings
Cavanaugh, K. L., King, K. D., & Ertuna, C. A. (1989). Multiple-Input Transfer Function Model of Okun’s Misery Index: An Empirical Test of the Maharishi Effect. In Proceedings of the American Statistical Association, Business and Economic Statistics Section. pp. 565-570. Arlington, VA: American Statistical Association.
Cavanaugh, K. L., King, K. D., & Titus, B. D. (1989). Consciousness and the Quality of Economic Life: Empirical Research on the Macroeconomic Effects of the Collective Practice of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Program. In Ronald G. Greenwood (Ed.). Proceedings of the 1989 Conference of the Midwest Management Society. (pp. 183-190). Chicago: Midwest Business Administration Association.
Cavanaugh, K. L. & King, K. D. (1988). Simultaneous Transfer Function Analysis of Okun’s Misery Index: Improvements in the Economic Quality of Life through Maharishi’s Vedic Science and Technology of Consciousness. In Proceedings of the American Statistical Association, Business and Economic Statistics Section, (pp. 491-496). Alexandria, VA: American Statistical Association.

What is the difference between the new edition and the first edition?
regards
Barry
October 24, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Thanks for those references Barry.
Quantitatively, it’s almost twice the length at 215,000 vs 120,000 words. The majority of the expansion is on macroeconomics and the financial crisis–including my “monetary circuit theory” analysis of it–while the opening 4 chapters have been extensively revised.

When I click your link to Paypal and then Pay with Credit/Debit Card , it tells me I DO have to have an account to complete this transaction. Perhaps you can provide an address and I can mail a check if you cannot tell me how to do this without a Paypal account.
October 29, 2011 at 9:03 pm
I will RBE. Working on an alternative method but the proffered solution (Clickbank) turned out to be more complicated than PayPal.

Are there any plans for http://www.centerforeconomicstability.com.au to accept membership payments in bitcoin? As a long-time reader of Steve’s blog I would join if payment were possible in bitcoin. (If, for some reason, there is a preference for fiat money a service like bit-pay.com provides instant and hassle free conversion.)
Cheers.
November 23, 2011 at 6:21 pm
If you could let me know how to organise it Peter, I’d gladly add it. The problem is that I don’t have any technical expert to whom I can assign these tasks right now.
November 11, 2011 at 9:40 am
Hi
I joined as a fellow on Sept 11 . What is the process for accessing Steves book?
Downloads and seminars to follow
November 23, 2011 at 6:22 pm
Hi Andrew,
Send your address details to:
Ruben AT zedbooks DOT net
Ruben will then mail out a copy to you.
November 24, 2011 at 5:07 am
I’d like to join. Can I owe you the fee?
November 25, 2011 at 9:13 pm
The primary role of this Centre is fund-raising for research into monetary macroeconomics, so there’s no point in joining without paying a fee.
You may find my blog more suitable–and you can read it for free, while there is a minimal joingin fee there of $2 a year:

Hi, I just came across you after watching you on RT and was amazed to find an Aussie economist at the forefront of speaking out against neocon economic theory. I am one of the administrators of the Occupy Australia Facebook site, visited by concerned Australians and people from other Occupy sites around the world, and my contribution focuses on posting articles of interest from people from the financial sector. I want to access your articles but am apprehensive about subscribing given the significant problems people seem to be having with paying their subscriptions, and despite your posting that the browser membership option has been fixed I can’t find that either. Please advise when you have ironed out these problems so I can start disseminating the information – providing my disseminating to others is allowed.

What’s happening with this site? I can’t log in since 3/4 days.
I’m italian and I’ve just read DE2 I found very good so I’ve joint CfES.
Thank you for all.

Hi Tito,
I hope it’s working now. It will shortly get more active since there is now a full time director of CfESI.
March 26, 2012 at 1:21 am
I joined as at the Minsky level and I have been trying to download the data from the August 28, 2011 post at Debtwatch, but I keep getting redirected to this page. I have downloaded data before and do not understand what is wrong……Thanks…..Tom Mc
March 29, 2012 at 6:40 am
I want to pay using the direct deposit method, but signing up as a browser member first – which is the prerequisite – has utterly defeated me. None of the browser sign-up workarounds given in the previous comments worked
David/Steve, what do you suggest I do? Is it not possible to fix this problem once and for all?
