However, the "modern monetary theory" referred to in the article is not MMT:
"Tobin’s emphasis on stock‐flow consistency (and his suspicion of using models with a single optimizing representative agent to investigate macroeconomic coordination), his approach to modeling economies that are self‐adjusting within a corridor of stability but not self‐adjusting for large shocks, and his concern that faster financial flows and faster price and wage adjustment may be undesirable and destabilizing remain on the agenda of modern monetary theory".
